Zodiac Depths

Withholding is not mystery; it is control dressed as depth. Your silence doesn’t test loyalty; it starves it. You call it discernment while you count minutes and missed calls like omens. You craft a desert, then blame the cactus for keeping its water. This is self-sabotage disguised as ritual. Say it plainly: you fear abandonment, so you rehearse it first.

Loyalty grows in oxygen, not vacuum. The person who cares cannot read your constellation of withheld replies. They read dismissal. You don’t want a hostage; you want an ally. Control feels safer than asking, so you build traps and call them standards. Real power is precision: clear need, clear boundary, clear consequence. Say the thing. Let their answer teach you.
