You
walk into your neighorhood grocery store to pick up a few items
for dinner. Gathering only the items you need, you take them
to the counter and realize too late that you're a dollar short.
The store doesn't accept credit cards or checks for payment.
What happens next?
It
depends on how Libran you are. If you're a frequent customer,
you might ask the storekeepr to extend credit until your next
visit. You might persuade the cashier with a few carefully chosen
- and possibly flirtatious - words to reduce the price on a
couple of items. Or you might just return one of your items
to the shelf, deciding to improvise a new dinner menu based
on what's in your pantry and the items you can afford.
While
the Moon is in Libra, the whole world is your neighborhood
grocery and you're either buying or selling. Whether the commodity
is goods, services, or emotional goodwill, doing business with
the world is not simply about exchanging goods; it's about exchanging
words, feelings, and impressions, and about building relationships
based on fairness and trust. While the Moon is in Libra, take
the pulse of your relationships with others. How are you
different from them, and how are you the same? How can each
of you get what you want in a way that makes both of you happy?
That's the essence of relationship.
