Mars retrograde in Aries is teaching you and I how to use our personal power in positive ways. Paradoxically, you also may be awakening to how you give our power away, leaving you feeling powerless, frustrated and in some cases, just plain enraged. Today, it is time to reclaim your power and to use that power in new positive ways. It is time to begin to be the leader you want to see in the world-to be the change in your world. If there is something you would like to change, posting pictures on social media or hash tagging it does not change anything. Getting lost in illusions that make you feel powerful are in reality, keeping you stuck. And, making other people the enemy does not solve anything. It only creates more division and more discourse. Today, recognize that if you want to change the world in which you live, make sure you are seeing the humanity in other people. Find solutions instead of attacking them. Use your language to uplift others rather than tearing them down. And, stop creating illusions that in the end only keep you stuck in conflict and anger. Today, let's begin to heal the deep seeded animosity towards those people who do not see the world like you do. Everyone of us now have created ways of seeing other people as the enemy-keeping us separated and filled with fear. Today let's begin to heal this in ourselves. Let us begin to approach our lives from love and we can begin to heal individually and collectively. World peace really does begin with you and me. Let's do this together. Begin today.

Just for today, I recognize that world peace really does begin with me. The more peace I have inside, the more peace I have to share with others. I release the need to blame anyone, including myself. I know that we are all doing the best we can with the knowledge, understanding and awareness that we have right now. I reclaim my power and now create the life I desire. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
