Hera is the Greek Goddess of Alliances. She asks us to make positive alliances with others that will empower us.
There is a feeling of unease that sets in when we are in an unhealthy power dynamic with another person. Stand tall and choose collabroative partnerships with deep mutal respect and encouragement. Look for equality and see yourself as worthy. Belong to yourself and align with the Great Goddess Hera to assist you to only choose relationships that are for your greater good.
Often we stay in relationships with others because of fear that we may not be able to find something better or because of fear of not being financially secure. However doing this is NOT for our greater good and over time will eat away at who we truly are. This goes for friendships as well as intimate relationships. Do your 'friends' support you? Do they look out for you and build you up or after spending time with them do you feel 'less than'?
Hera wants you to be aware of these traits in yourself and be empowered in your own right, not through attaching yourslf to the dominant power for a false sense of safety.
Its better to be alone than in alliances that dont respect you and Hera gives us the POWER to move forward to better relationships and alliances. If you find yourself in these types of situations call on Hera to help you be the POWERFUL GODDESS that you are move towards positive upbuilding alliances and leave the others behind.
