Original Advice

DONT: Don't mistake silence for disinterest or judgment.

Silence Is Not A Verdict

Your fear of being boring makes you louder, busier, harsher. You interrogate quiet like a crime scene. You assume blank faces mean no, mean less, mean you failed. That story is vanity disguised as vigilance. Silence belongs to others, not you. It is not applause or boos. It is weather. Stop performing at storms. Let the pause breathe without putting yourself on trial.

Silence is a workspace. People edit, translate, recover, and decide in it. Their faces go blank because their focus goes inward. You, of all signs, understand time and scaffolding. The mountain grows because the valley is quiet. When you rush to fill gaps, you trample seedlings. Hold the line. Ask for clarity when it’s time. Judge actions, not volume. Let outcomes, not expressions, confirm alignment.

Cosmic Context

Saturn tutors you in time and restraint. Use that discipline to sit with silence and read reality, not projection.
