Virgo

The quiet in an old friendship rarely arrives without advance notice, though you might not have recognized the signals at the time. There were small changes in response time, a shift in the questions asked or not asked, the way conversations began to feel like they required more effort to sustain than they used to. Your attention has been tracking these adjustments for weeks or months, even when your mind was focused elsewhere. The friendship may not be ending, but it is changing into something that requires you to decide whether the new version is worth the different kind of work it asks of you.
