Pisces
The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without trying to. It flows to the lowest place that others disdain. In this, it is like the Tao.
Lao Tzu
The friendship that has gone quiet was never supposed to be work, and that might be exactly why it feels so strange now that it requires effort. You both got used to the version where connection happened without trying, where understanding moved between you like something natural and unforced. Now there are texts that sit unanswered and calls that do not get returned, and the silence has weight in a way that easy closeness never did. What you are learning is that some distances are not about moving apart but about moving toward a different kind of caring, one that has to be chosen rather than assumed.
