Original Advice
“DONT: Avoid labeling mood swings as manipulation.”
Stop Mythologizing Mood Swings
Stop confusing certainty with courage. Slapping "manipulation" on someone’s mood is a shortcut to dodge uncertainty. It flatters your instincts and starves your accuracy. Not every swing is a scheme; sometimes it’s sleep, weather, hormones, money, or a memory with teeth. You don’t need a villain to enforce a boundary. Name what happened. Leave their inner courtroom empty.
Your fire hates limbo, so you invent motives to hit. That speeds relief and breeds collateral damage. When you label intent, you lock the scene; when you describe behavior, you leave room for truth to surface. Precision is a weapon. Use it. Gather two facts, then decide your next move. Aim at patterns, not moods. That’s control without cruelty.
Cosmic Context
As Aries, cardinal fire ruled by Mars, you move first and ask later. Lead by pausing before declaring intent.
