Original Advice

DONT: Don't bulldoze their boundaries or timelines.

Soft Shell, Firm Perimeter

Your feelings arrive like tides—loud, insistent, absolute. That doesn’t give you a wrecking ball. When you push past someone’s boundary because you 'just know,' you aren’t intuitive; you’re invasive. Stop showing up unannounced in bodies, inboxes, calendars, and hearts. Their pace is not a challenge to beat. It’s a door with a lock. Respect it or be left outside.

You love to protect and preempt. You call it care; it’s control in costume. Cardinal water initiates by flooding; real intimacy needs shorelines. When you bulldoze, you teach people to hide from you. When you wait, trust grows legs. Let pause be proof of devotion. Measure your love by how well you time it, not how fast you deliver it.

Cosmic Context

Moon-ruled, you move with tides and moods. Be the ocean that recedes so life can breathe, not the storm that rips docks loose.
