AstrologyBy Jade Emory POWERPower can mean controlling others and bending them to one’s will, controlling external events, controlling oneself and how one handles life’s issues, or being able to awaken Divine Consciousness in others. Each astrological sign has the capacity to use or misuse power, dependingon one’s motivations. Confucius said, “Without rightness there can be no greatness.” Therefore, a key to genuine power is to be morally impeccable in one’s use of influence. People throughout history who have wisely wielded the greatest power never sought it. They sought enlightenment and consecrated their lives to higher service.
