Increase Your Inner Power
Newsletter by Kelley Rosano originally posted April 1, 2009
“You have been oriented that you must pay a price in order to get somewhere, and in the process, you’ve come to believe that getting there must be really important, therefore, it must be your purpose. And we say, but if you’re not getting to joy, then you’ve gotten nowhere. Joy is really where you’re going.” –Abraham-Hicks
April is the month of Aries; ruling the first sign and the first house in astrology. Aries teaches us that we are the sun center of our own universe. In truth, there is no reality there is only our personal perception of reality. We all have our own individual awareness of reality. We see through the colors of our personal filters. Being Self-Aware, what we present to the world, our personality and how strong we are as individuals, will determine if we either achieve or fail at our goals in work and life. We can teach people how to be strong within Self. Strong positive people are the foundation of the Age of Aquarius. In truth, people not only need a job, people need a purpose. This is what we call Purposeful Living. People need a purpose to get out of bed in the morning and tackle the day. People need to feel that their life matters, that they are making their contribution to life. Each precious person has their unique destiny. Where is your passion? What gives you energy? What provides you with a sense of purpose? What makes your heart sing with joy?
How we show up
Aries first house reveals how we appear to others, what we present to the world, our outlook on life, our physical body and personality. The goal is to know who you are and what you are capable of: your talents, gifts, abilities and your limitations (how you hold yourself back). The intention is to increase your inner power. When we have a strong amount of self-love, a continuous desire for self-improvement and are self-motivated to achieve our dreams, we are a powerhouse owning unlimited potential. The Law of Attraction is: “That which is within us (the universe within) is what we attract to us.” or “Like attracts like.” That is why if we want to improve our health, relationships or world. We must change our Self first, on the inside, for our external world to be improved. All relationships are a mirror reflection of Self. What are others mirroring to you? We want to be in healthy relationships; relationships that reflect our integrity, power and draw out our best parts. We want to set boundaries with those who would hurt us or bring out our worst side.
Aries questions to consider:
Do you use relationships, work, and activities to avoid your relationship with Self?
What do you really want and need?
Do you understand yourself based on your core needs and not on what others want from you on their terms?
How do others see you?
Do you feel appreciated and respected?
Are you aware of how your personal actions affect others?
Aries Exercise: Go to a movie or go out to dinner with yourself. Write down how it felt to be on a date with you. No cell phones, no texting, be present. Do you enjoy your own company? Were you uncomfortable? What came up for you?
From Top Ten Success Strategies
Success strategy two: Be Not Moved by Anything
That is do not react. Hold your center. Be proactive not reactive. The power is always with the one who acts and not with the one who reacts. The storm clouds may gather and collide. Yet, we have no control over the weather, the economy or how other people choose to behave. Our power lies inside Self. In the position we choose to hold, our Self-mastery to hold our own in the face of challenge and difficulty. If we can stay calm and be positive, we will be able to respond with love and peace. We want to: 
- Practice Being Balanced.
- Practice Being Centered.
- Practice Being Flexible.
- Practice Being Focused.
- Practice Being Strong.
Aries Exercise: Practice healthy Selfishness pay attention to tolerations, set your boundaries. Do not allow anyone to hurt or disrespect you. Don’t allow others to distract you or take your precious time and energy. Be proactive meet your own needs ask your Self: “What do I need right now? Rest, quiet or play?” Practice for a week being Self-aware of your needs. Listen to your body. Your body is a messenger what is your body telling you? Happiness is an inside job. We are all lifelong learners. That is why life is about practice, practice and more practice. Remember that smiling lightens the heart. Time alone is not selfishness-it is self-preservation, self-restoration and self-rejuvenation!
You are blessed beings, who deserve Well-being, and Well-being is making its way to you at all times. If you will relax and find a way to allow it — it will be your experience. –Abraham-Hicks
Libra Full Moon April 9, 2009
Yearly is to remind us that once we meet our personal needs (Aries). We have so much more to share and give to others (Libra.) There is a definite distinction between selfishness and narcissism. Selfishness is healthy. It means you are loving you. You are recognizing it is your duty and responsibilities to Self to ensure your needs are met. Remember that, the only way to reach Source is through Self. We cannot connect to God through other people-only through Self. That is why Self is your most significant relationship in life. Without Self you are cut off from your unlimited power-Source.
Narcissism means that you are using other people to meet your needs and avoiding doing this sacred work yourself. Even more deadly, you have no empathy for other people’s feelings. You have no compassion or care about how you may be hurting and disrespecting those who love you. Once a narcissist discovers you are no longer serving their needs. You will be cast aside or cut off from him or her. The narcissist must find other people to live off, who will serve their egoic needs and their false sense of importance. If you are involved with a narcissist; I highly recommend seeking help, before you are exhausted and then empty. Some unevolved Aries can be narcissists and they often are great looking, dynamic, magnetic and fun…what a spider web trap! “Oh what tiny webs we weave, when at first we practice to deceive.” –Hamlet, Shakespeare
Venus is still retrograde until April 17th if you have been feeling stuck/drained in a relationship, a job or a situation. I would like to offer from my soul mate book:
The Law of Detachment:
- When it begins it (life, work, relationships, situations, etc.) is always right.
- Who shows up is exactly who needs to be there.
- What happens is the only thing that could have happened.
- When it is over it is over.
“A bunch of weak people, even in numbers, aren’t strong. Get a whole bunch of confused people together and see how much clarity comes out of it. In other words, you just can’t add one more confused person to the pot, and expect to get any more clarity… One-standing outside of the confused group-who is clear, is more powerful than a million who are confused.” –Abraham-Hicks
Once Venus turns direct on April 17
And Mars moves into his home sign–Aries on April 21st you may feel a powerful surge of positive fresh energy to move forward in life, take action and perhaps a desire to exercise. Yippee! This heavenly astrology is our cosmic Simon says: “Take a giant step forward.” We can take advantage of the wind in our sails in the last two weeks of April. Pulling us on the river of life to where we most need to be to thrive, prosper and evolve. This is great news indeed! I highly recommend you get as much done in April before Mercury turns retrograde in the first week of May. We need to use the Aries rousing fire to achieve and accomplish, initiate moves, launch new products or systems, and embark on a new career or spiritual path. It is time for fresh starts in those areas of life that are calling you. You are the master of your destiny. What do you want to create? Follow your heart’s desire you may find that your wildest dreams are fulfilled. “All is well. Remember, no matter how it seems, all is well.”–Ivo/Lisa Dorr Keep believing. Peace.
Love, and positive expansion,
