Original Advice
“You are allowed to expect realness, not performance - State your standards, ask direct questions, and step back if consistency is missing. You don't have to reward mixed signals to be nice. Release the guilt; wanting clarity is self-respect.”
Stop Applauding the Costume
They’re not confused; they’re rehearsing. Mixed signals are not chemistry; they’re static. Stop grading performance as devotion. If they only show up under spotlight, they don’t show up. Your time is not a lobby. Your patience is not catering. Name what you need. Ask for dates, not vibes. Track actions, not adjectives. When the rhythm breaks, stop dancing.
Realness is not rare; it’s quiet. It repeats. It texts when it said it would. It plans, it shows, it cleans the crumbs. You are Mercury-ruled; you read patterns faster than excuses. Use that gift. Consistency is the only proof a future can carry. When you reward haze, you fund delay. Cut the noise and the signal grows. Routine is devotion wearing work boots.
Cosmic Context
As a Mercury-ruled Earth sign, your power is discernment. Editing the false makes room for what can actually grow.
