Summer arrives with a big to-do this Wednesday. So how come everyone’s so frakkin’ cranky? Normally a time to take it easy and to slow down a bit, this Solstice heats Summer up in such a way that people everywhere are declaring, “Too many cooks in the kitchen!” Well, if you can’t stand the heat, or you don’t want the simmering cosmic broth to spoil, you might have to make a strategic decision to get out of the way. Out of your own way, that is.
See, you’re bound to encounter a soul or two who’s just got to drive a point home. Umpteen times. Your eyes may glaze over or your temper might go awry. That’s one scenario, but it’ll do you little good down the road. How’s about a little game of imagining what it’s like to be in that annoying so-and-so’s shoes, instead? Getting in touch with your compassionate side can do wonders to calm you and the other guy down.
Whether you’re romantically involved or not, some of the folks that are wound so tightly they could snap are a part of your soul tribe. And if they’re on edge, you can relate; you’ve been there too, right? In fact, you’re probably on the edge yourself. After all, like the rest of us, you’re dancing in the off-beats of a three-movement eclipse symphony. We may be at the intermission right now, but there’s still a rousing finale to come.
Stand down and give a guy a break. This too shall pass.
