Original Advice
“Action isn't the same as empathy: Rushing to fix everything can steamroll feelings. If you're Aries, your 'help' sometimes centers your pace, not their needs. Slow down enough to ask what would actually support them.”
Speed Isn’t Care, Aries
Here’s the cut: your rescue missions are about you. You sprint in, brandishing answers, and flatten the room. You call it helping. It reads as control. You prescribe before you listen, tidy the mess to stop your discomfort, center your tempo as if care is a stopwatch. Stop. Sit with the ache you can’t fix. Let their story be slow, tangled, insufficient to your agenda.
Fast feels loving to you because Mars wires you for impact. Motion gives you proof you exist. But empathy is timekeeping, not troubleshooting. The nervous system settles when pace matches pace. Solutions land after someone feels seen, not before. Trade the adrenaline hit for accuracy. Ask, then wait. Measure care in minutes of silence, in errands done their way, in a plan you didn’t design.
Cosmic Context
