The Strong Move Is Not Explaining Yourself

Retrograde Season · Boundaries

Retrograde season makes everyone want to defend their choices. You can skip that.

Defending is a way of asking permission

When you explain yourself in detail, you tell the other person you need their approval. If you simply treat your decision as fine, there is nothing to argue about. That is the quieter and stronger position.

Standing your ground is different

This does not mean caving. Standing your ground means holding your line calmly, as a fact and not a debate. Set the standard once, clearly, then go on with your day.

Use the retrograde

Mercury retrograde in Scorpio is good for thinking before you talk. Write the reply and wait a day. Most of the time you will find you did not need to send it.
