Anger as a Signal for Action
|
|
|
by Donna Cunningham, MSW |
|
|
Mars is the planet of energy and action. When we go through periods of continuous anger--days and nights when the same rageful thoughts churn over and over in our minds--this is a signal from the Higher Self that we need to take action. We need to DO SOMETHING about the condition that is making us uncomfortable. Anger is the body-mind's way of mobilizing against a threatening, frustrating, or adverse situation. It motivates us to change something in our lives. Often, the needed change involves the quality of our key relationships.
Anger is not unhealthy in itself, but our reactions to it often are. In troubled families, we learned to suppress it in order to survive. Many of us eat, drink, overspend, or use drugs to force it back down (Mars-Neptune), or we put a great deal of energy into controlling behaviors that we think will preserve our relationships (Mars-Pluto) but wind up contaminating them. Some of us redirect anger to safer, seemingly weaker targets and wreak havoc in our relationships. All too many of us turn it in on ourselves, creating depression and self-hate. Do you suppress and subvert your own anger?
At those times when anger looks like it has moved in to stay, ask yourself what action you’re avoiding. Rageful thoughts that repeat like a broken record are the Higher Self's way of needling us about something that needs to be done. The first step is to bless the part of yourself that is using this signal to get your attention. Rather than judging it or pushing it down, let it help you identify what needs to be changed. Ask yourself, “What part of my life is my anger trying to mobilize me to change?” Affirmations you could say are, “I accept my anger as a healthy, motivating force,” and “I allow my anger to lead me to the truth.”
Anger can be a great spur to creative problem solving. Maybe you already know what needs to be changed. The things °©that make you angry are all too glaringly clear, and the conditions °©that needs to be changed stares you in the face every day but you °©just don't know where to begin. Think about the variety of ways °©to approach the situation. Use your creativity to go beyond the °©obvious. Mayhem is not the answer, but neither is withdrawal from people and situations that evoke anger.
If you want to use the experience of anger for your own growth, there are some steps you can take. Put aside for the moment way the hurtful comment was spoken. Even put aside the intention of the person who said it. Now ask yourself the following questions:
Is there any truth in what this person is saying?
If so, what can I learn from it that will make me a better person?
If not, what is his or her problem?
Posing this series of questions in situations when I’m angry has become a spiritual discipline, one with great rewards for my own growth and my relationships with others. If you’re moved to try them, the truth shall once more set you free, this time of anger.
People with Mars aspecting the outer planets have special challenges in dealing with the Mars functions of anger, drive, competition, and sexuality. As we get to understand the outer planets throughout this book and especially in the chapters on outer planets to Mars, we’ll hopefully come to a better understanding of how to use these challenging aspects. We can find constructive ways of expressing them that help both us and the collective to benefit from the gifts the outer planets bring us all.

Donna Cunningham,
Astrologer
& Healer |
|
|
Donna Cunningham is an internationally respected astrologer and the author of 19 books on metaphysical topics.
She has been an astrologer for almost 40 years.
Her newest career direction is to lead writing seminars for those who wish to write about astrology, metaphysics or self-help subjects. See her summer offerings at www.moonmaven
publications.
com/writingseminars.html.
Donna Cunningham has a dual background in astrology and psychotherapy, with a Masters in Social Work from Columbia University and over 30 years experience as a professional astrologer. She considers doing the astrology charts of children to be a sacred trust. It is a way of knowing who these Indigo children are on their own terms rather than as their families, teachers, and society expect them to be.
In these sessions, she focuses on typical childhood concerns such as family and peer relationships, the best educational approaches, and the child's special gifts and abilities. She can be reached for consultations at (503)291-7891, by email, or at her web page. Ask about her special rate for children's charts.
Donna is also co-editor of Vibration and a frequent contributor. She has written fourteen books on astrology and other metaphysical topics, including her Flower Remedies Handbook. Astrologers who want to know the special considerations involved in doing children's charts can read the chapter on this topic in Donna's text, The Consulting Astrologer's Guidebook.
Listed in several Who’s Who volumes, she has given seminars on astrology around the world and won the prestigious Regulus Award at the 1998 UAC.
