Original Advice

DONT: Don’t ignore red flags or your gut.

Red Flags Aren't Confetti

Your body rings the alarm before your mouth shapes the question. When the phone flips face-down, when the story shifts by an inch, when your laughter feels like a mask--believe the siren. Cheaters rely on your optimism, your heat, your speed. They count on you to sprint past evidence. Stop calling smoke 'mystery.' Call it fire. Stop translating lies into hope.

Your intuition is not drama. It's data. Your nervous system aggregates late replies, evasive eyes, canceled plans, and turns it into a verdict. When you override it, you train yourself to accept crumbs. Loyalty without proof isn't loyalty; it's self-abandonment. Protect your timeline. Confront inconsistency in daylight. Make them answer the simple questions. Watch action, not captions. Choose boredom over betrayal.

Cosmic Context

As a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, you're built for decisive moves, not slow erosion. Aim your blade inward first--cut through denial--then outward at the dead branches.

Action
