Born at this point in Scorpio season

They sense shifts in a room before anyone names them, and they keep those observations to themselves for a while. Friends sometimes wonder why they went quiet, when really they were still deciding what to say. Holding back is not the same as having nothing to offer. Patience with their own pace helps them speak when it counts.
