I believe anger to generally be a reaction to stress or obstacles. In this case, the anger which Shadowcat is referring to is something which already exists and is being expressed to avoid repression.
So yes, it is unfortunate to have such stress within the person, but I don't think expression of that is the source of negativity itself. Imagine that arises to combat an enemy, and this is an example of a positive expression.
Both excess anger and repressed anger are found in the astrological chart, so this is something everyone has to deal with in one way or another. Yes, we should not let ourselves be carried away with excess anger or negative destructive tendencies, but there is a fine line of balance to avoid repression.
I would be careful with Sadhguru has he can have a tendency to lean towards New Age beliefs. From our perspective, we know that we can channel anger appropriately by working on our soul, such as removing karma associated with this, working on our health, working on our discipline, etc.
Sadhguru and other New Age people may just say "avoid anger" and give nothing else. Yes, they identified the problem, but they did not provide an adequate solution. Ultimately, anger is a yang aspect of existence which is to balanced by yin elements. The Libra element of the kidneys balances the Aries element through neutralization of toxins, yet Aries is also known for winning battles, creating bravery, creating life, and providing an aspect of vitality.
