Original Advice

DO: Name the feeling before fixing anything.

Stop Solving Unknown Problems

You rush to fix because you fear being the cause. You turn a flicker into a five-alarm. You patch imaginary leaks while the real water rises in your chest. You call it 'being prepared.' It's avoidance. You aren't solving; you're escaping. Name the feeling. Say the exact word. No euphemisms. Until you do, you will keep repairing ghosts and missing the human in the room.

A word makes a border. Borders stop the stampede. When you label the storm—anger, shame, jealousy, grief—the brain quits scanning for monsters and starts counting tools. Then the fix, if there is one, becomes obvious and small. Cold water. A text. A nap. Or nothing. Name first. Action second. Otherwise you micromanage fate and call it love. Precision is kinder than panic.

Cosmic Context

You are Moon-ruled, tidal, protective. Naming gives the sea a shoreline, so you can choose shell or claws.
