Weekly Horoscope

WHEN THEY GO LOW, WE GO HIGH

We live in angry times. Nowadays you can experience hostility in all kinds of places. Maybe it’s free-floating anger in the workplace, road rage on the commute home, or talking heads hollering from the screen. It’s hard to rise above the situation when so many people are intent on rattling your cage. Yet the first quarter Moon in Libra on July 19 comes as a reminder of the strength of civility. Civility isn’t some quaint term. It’s what makes our civilization civilized. It materializes in a variety of guises like courtesy, manners, protocol, and good sportsmanship. What do you think keeps opposing teams from killing each other at the end of a game? Good sportsmanship. You are not going to get what you want by escalating a confrontation, however if you take a couple of steps back and dial it down: you will. Put forth your best self and you just might see the other side do the same.
