There is truth in that saying. It is a truth deeply felt, beyond what the intellect can grasp or describe for others to understand. It is a truth that acquaints you with who and what you are &#8212; which are easy to lose track of.<\/p>\n<p>Popular culture posits that you are incomplete as you are, encouraging you to purchase something or partner up to fill the hole. Too often, the solutions offered by popular culture only end up filling somebody else&#8217;s pocket, while you are left out of touch. It&#8217;s difficult to get back in touch with who and what you are. It takes time. Yet most of us live in a world where we are tempted to give away our precious time almost as much as we are coerced to give away our power. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to time, it takes peace and quiet to find yourself again. Tranquility and silence, or at least access to them, are among the feelings that let you know what and where home is. Once you have found the feeling, there is another matter to consider before you are home free. It is the matter of comfort.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For too many of us, having time on our hands is uncomfortable. For so many of us, stillness and quiet can feel confrontational. It is perhaps among the greatest tragedies of our time that the very requisites for knowing your own heart are the same conditions that many of us are compelled to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the avoidance of what makes a home feel like home is a fear that the popular culture is correct, that your heart is not whole, or even lost all together. Maybe that&#8217;s how so many homes are filled with electronic distraction. It could be the reason for home becoming the place where people feel free to lose control and indulge a level of behavior that would not be tolerated in public. Nobody who stops to think, however, can feel at home where external stimulation, anger and pain prevail.<\/p>\n<p>When Venus enters Libra this weekend, stop and think about it as a first step. The conditions that support finding your heart will probably not appear by default. Events outside your home will almost certainly be frenetic, and stridently seeking to insinuate themselves into your private space. Relations inside your private space will possibly test the limits of self control. The potential for the time, peace and quiet you need to find your heart safe at home, however, will also be present if the symbolism of Venus entering Libra is valid at all.<\/p>\n<p>The symbolism of astrology is a valid indication of what is available to those who act in concert with the Cosmos. Without action, your action, the potential simply passes by. This weekend is your chance to act on recognizing yourself again. <\/p>\n<p>You must act with the faith that your heart is there inside, and as whole as you would have it be. You will need to summon the courage to make or take the time you need. Most of all, you will have to open up and allow peace and quiet to enter and make itself at home, safe with who and what you are.<\/p>\n<p><em>Offered In Service<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Len is available for astrology readings.
