Emotions hearts closed

What a bundle of contradictions Libra can be. On the one hand, you re ruled by seductive Venus, and relationships are essential to you. Longing for love, you instinctively look to romantic partners to balance your inadequacies and stabilize you. On the other hand, you re an air sign, ruled by your head — not your heart. Thanks to your refined sensibilities and visceral distaste for tear-soaked melodramas, you unconsciously preserve a distance meant to protect you from conflict and emotional chaos. In relationships, as in other areas of life, you often end up in an internal tug-of-war, first drawing close to the object of your affection, and then pulling away. Not surprisingly, your ambivalence may strike the other person as manipulative. 

An awake person has a heart that is open and engaged. He no longer feels a need to close his heart or shrink away to protect himself. When a feeling arises, he is aware of it and welcomes it. He neither suppresses his negative emotions nor fans them, for he knows that both reactions only keep such feelings alive. Instead, he allows every negative emotion to rise within him, have its life, and then pass away.
