Today’s Oracle takes us to the Libra weekly of July 4, 2008

Most people are way too lazy to live consciously. It takes work. It’s harder than doing the recycling. Yet the rewards are greater. Part of living consciously involves consciously facing fear. At the moment, you seem to be getting in contact with forces, circumstances and situations that are all much larger than you. You may first be confronting the notion that you don’t actually have any control, and you barely have any influence over things you know would benefit from your attention. Keep in contact with your fear, no matter how annoying it is, and no matter how little others seem to want to hear about it. If there is one key to actually making your mark on the world, it starts with having an honest relationship with the single most dominant force in society today, which is anxiety.
