Original Advice
“DONT: Don't call stoicism strength when it's numbness.”
Strength Isn’t a Frozen Heart
You keep calling the deadbolt on your chest “discipline.” It’s not. It’s frost. You label the quiet “control” because noise scares you. You grip the wheel until your knuckles blanch and call it calm. Meanwhile the engine knocks. Friends read your weather like a blank forecast. Strength isn’t a locked jaw. It’s a pulse you can feel, even when it aches.
Your steadiness is sacred, but steadiness isn’t cement. It’s rhythm. Venus gave you a body that understands ripeness, not refrigeration. When you stash feelings in the pantry of your spine, they sour. Numbness protects the day, then taxes the night. Stoicism is useful in a storm; it’s cruelty in clear weather. Let pressure escape in small honest breaths before it turns into a quake.
Cosmic Context
You’re an earth sign ruled by Venus; you crave stability and comfort, then confuse anesthesia for peace. Taurus strength is fertile, not frozen.
