Original Advice
“DO: Say what you need before the spiral.”
Name the Need, Stop the Riptide
Your silence isn’t protection; it’s bait for disappointment. You act chill, then drown in overthinking, then punish with distance. You run private experiments to see who will guess your tides. No one does. The spiral isn’t fate; it’s a delay. Say the need before the storm forms: attention, a plan, a touch, a text. Ask clean. Let the answer land.
Naming a need is not needier; it’s efficient. It interrupts the script where you over-give, resent, withdraw, and explode. It saves the night, the week, the relationship. Try plain nouns: Hold me. Don’t cancel. I want a plan by Tuesday. Text when you get home. Make it early, short, and human. Replace the guesswork with logistics. Protect the soft thing by speaking like a captain.
Cosmic Context
Moon-ruled, you move in tides and protect like a fortress. Cardinal water initiates care; initiating clarity is the same power turned outward.
