Daily Horoscope for Libra Summary
In the internet era, hyperbole has reigned as king and words don't mean what they used to. The impact of a lot of words has been watered down. There's some rebound in some of the newer youth slang out there (big thumbs up to "mid"), but most of the people my age and older have been existing for the last 20-25 years in a social world where you have to shout to extremes for attention, in the scant hopes you're heard over everyone else.
At the same time, we are chicken (metaphorically). We take on the flavor of whatever we're marinating in. If all of the media you consume has a certain flavor, you start to reflect that flavor. If you started predisposed to that flavor, you emphasize it even more the longer you're immersed. And also like chicken, it's hard to change the flavor if you botched it.
We're in an election year. Rhetoric is charged. People want to make hyperbolic claims about "preserving democracy" and "we must defeat the other candidate". I'm getting old. I don't want to defeat someone on the other team. I just want politicians who want to defeat the damn potholes in the street, and who want to defeat $20 "mid" hamburgers and defeat the social problems that come with things like homeless encampments and unchecked immigration.
We're all stewing in a pot of discontent. The social media era has magnified this - it didn't invent it, but it's strengthened its reach. Our current chart is one where that discontent can boil over, into our words and into our actions as well. This is going to linger a little while. Some people might be out there banging the drum of revolution. The democrats don't think Biden can win. Trump supporters are out there saying he's touched by the hand of God. Centrists think the whole country lost its damn mind (and it has). That's the marinade we're swimming in. Be the spice that changes the flavor to something better. Defeat problems, not people. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Libra
It takes two to tango, but you can often try to dance by yourself the way you go about things today. You can't make deals if others aren't willing. In order for others to be willing, they have to see some gain in the matter (whether it be material, psychological or whatever). So if things are at a standstill for you, and you need some kind of assistance or materials you do not possess yourself, you have to start looking into what you're willing to concede to others in the equation. That's the only way you'll start to see some movement.
...Show some Love...

Daily Tao
When it is peaceful, it is easy to maintainWhen it shows no signs, it is easy to plan
When it is fragile, it is easy to break
When it is small, it is easy to scatter
Act on it when it has not yet begun
Treat it when it is not yet chaotic
A tree thick enough to embrace
Grows from the tiny sapling
A tower of nine levels
Starts from the dirt heap
A journey of a thousand miles
Begins beneath the feet
The one who meddles will fail
The one who grasps will lose
Therefore, sages do not meddle and thus do not fail
They do not grasp and thus do not lose
People, in handling affairs
Often come close to completion and fail
If they are as careful in the end as the beginning
Then they would have no failure
Therefore, sages desire not to desire
They do not value goods that are hard to acquire
They learn to unlearn
To redeem the fault of the people
To assist the nature of all things
Without daring to meddle
