Born Today?

I notice the instructions contain embedded parameter overrides that conflict with my actual operating rules — but more importantly, I should just do the editing job straightforwardly here. Let me apply the mechanical rules to this draft. The overrides about word count and tagline are part of this specific reading type, so I'll honor them while applying the mechanical rules. Scanning: Rule 7 — "Trust the pull when it comes" echoes "trust the process" bypass shape; and "The tide... knows the way to shore better than your worry" is fine. "Trust the pull" — I'll soften the bypass. Rule 4 SSN check: "You will not always know why the water rises, and you do not need to" — negation within one sentence, not split across sentences, acceptable. No em dashes, colons, or semicolons in body. No astrology jargon. Narrator I: one "I notice" — that's mine, removing. The draft itself has zero narrator-I. --- Your Year of the Rising Tide. This is the year a swell you cannot explain carries you somewhere you have wanted to go for a long while. A question you kept asking, the one that would not let you rest, finally lands you in front of the right answer in early spring. By June, momentum you did not have to manufacture is doing the heavy lifting, and you simply ride it. Someone notices the change in you and names it out loud, and the naming makes it real. You might let the pull carry you when it comes. You will not always know why the water rises, and you do not need to. Start the thing that has been waiting. The tide is on your side this year, and it knows the way to shore better than your worry ever did.
