Original Advice
“DONT: Don’t mistake silence for apathy or stubbornness.”
Silence Isn’t Weird, It’s Information
Stop translating quiet into rejection. That lull you hear is not a verdict, it’s air. You armor yourself with certainty and call it realism; it’s laziness disguised as wisdom. Silence is data you refuse to parse. Wait before you wage war. Not every unmoving face is a wall. Some people think before they speak. Some emotions arrive on a delay. Let the pause breathe.
Your body reads quiet rooms like storms. You crave proof you can touch, so the wordless feels hostile. It isn’t. Silence is where edges blur, where the weird shapes of other people’s needs take form. Push past the itch to label it stubbornness. Practice staying with the unknown long enough to recognize nuance. Patience is not passivity. It’s control without control’s tantrum.
Cosmic Context
As a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus, you equate stillness with control and stall. Train your senses to hear texture in the quiet; that’s where your discernment evolves.
