You have now taken an honest look at the second house themes in your life: your assets, resources and self-worth. Inevitably, as you were reviewing these topics, feelings arose. Before moving on the next step, I would like to invite you to honour those feelings. Sit with them for a little while. They can be a useful source of information and help you clarify what you might want to change when it comes to your possessions, how you use your talents and the way you feel about yourself.
When I sat down with my inventory, the first feeling that came up, was a heaviness. It’s all so serious! I wonder if this might be the influence of Capricorn at play. It is after all the sign connected to my second house.
After establishing the heaviness, I could also sense a certain impatience and rebelliousness against it. Part of me really does not seem interested at all in making money, owning a house and coming up with a retirement plan. Not because it does not want to grow up, but because it is less interested in material things than it is in dreams, ideals, love and vision.
Then I realised I could call on my free spiritedness to get myself out of the heaviness. It might not be money or bricks and mortar that will motivate me to charge and earn more, to leave the organisations that slow me down and look for places where I might use more of my talents. But what does motivate me, is what has always propelled me to explore new horizons: the longing to feel free.
And as I write this, I realise that I have found one of the gems that Elizabeth Gilbert refers to when she says ‘the universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.‘
Underneath the fear I described in the final part of the inventory, buried so deep I had almost forgotten it was there, lies a force that wants to live, to run, to dance, to travel, explore, soak up the sun, to laugh and to share love.
