Scorpio

The private rules you follow that no one else knows about are usually the ones that keep you available to someone who has not asked for your availability. You hold open space in your schedule, in your phone, in the way you arrange your evening, just in case they reach out. This kind of readiness costs more than the obvious kinds because it runs quietly in the background of everything else you do. The rule feels like generosity but operates more like hope, and hope is always more expensive than it admits to being upfront.
