Don’t concede to terms you know aren’t in your best interests, simply to make the whole ‘headache’ go away. Trust me on this one, Libra: The ‘headache’ quality will only return later, in a crueler form, if you opt not to stand up for what you know to be right. If it’s important enough to you, you should exercise a sort of stubbornness not generally associated with your ilk, who are better known for diplomacy than dogged demands. I do understand it seems like, if nobody yields to the other, this lack of resolution could linger indefinitely… and continue creating all sorts of discomfort on every end. But that is a fear more than a likely reality. Within a few weeks, there will be movement, in some direction or another. Regardless of which way it goes, though, I deeply want you to feel confident: You stood, unwavering, on behalf of a certain foundational precept that underscores so much of what you believe. The positive charge of that will impact the contested situation in startling ways; after all, it’s an empowering place from which to deal.
