Original Advice
“DO: Pause before reacting; breathe and label the feeling.”
Own The Spark, Not The Fire
Your first impulse is not wisdom; it’s kindling begging for flame. You confuse momentum with accuracy, volume with power, speed with bravery. You lash out to avoid the heat you carry. Name it: anger, envy, boredom, bruised pride. Then stop. Air first, action second. Mouth closed, lungs open, fists unclenched. Count to four, not forever. You lose nothing. You keep your aim.
Breath is the brake your fire sign forgets. Labeling installs a handle on the heat so you can move it, not wear it. Anger is data, not destiny. When you say, “I am angry,” you stop it from speaking as you. Choose the verb, not the volcano. Wait one beat. Ask the body: tight jaw, hot throat, clenched gut. Translate before you strike.
Cosmic Context
Ruled by Mars, you were built for ignition, not spillage. Master the pause and your fire becomes a torch, not a wildfire.
Action
──────When anger hits, inhale four counts, say the feeling out loud.
✨ You are allowed to keep your fire and refuse the scorch. ✨
