Caitlyn,

As an Aries, perhaps it is quite a challenge to do nothing! 🙂 Audette’s words resonate well with the internal stuff, but then again you also want to hang out peacefully with them. Perhaps the mars-warrior-leader inside you would do well to “fight them with kindness”. If you can see their lack of acceptance, and accept it, then their barbs won’t hurt. “I accept you and your lack of acceptance, its your thing, not mine.” My understanding of aries’ patterns are limited, but proactive is an understatement. 🙂

Buddha took this same approach with a man who approached him with anger. The Buddha smiled and explained that the mans anger was his, it did not belong to the Buddha, and so why would there be anything but a smile?

With warmth,
Matt
