Feeling by way of words
For you, naming an emotion is how you get hold of it. You send the long message, ring your sister, read about it, and by evening you’ve got a theory. Each friend gets a slightly different account, and that isn’t dishonesty. You’re trying out versions to find the one that fits.
Moods change quickly too. You can be low at lunch and delighted by a good story at dinner. A partner may take this to mean you weren’t really upset. You were. A new thought simply came along and you followed it.
What closeness needs
Silence is hard on this Moon. A partner who goes quiet for the evening can feel a mile away, even from the other end of the sofa. You feel loved when someone is curious about you, asks a follow-up question, and sends you the odd article because it made them think of you. Being talked to is being held.
You also need variety in your company. Having your own friends, and more than one sort of them, helps you come home glad to be there.
The joke as an exit
The wit that makes you such good company can also get you out of the room while your body stays in it. Someone tells you they’re hurt, and out comes a clever line, or a fact, or a change of subject. It’s quick enough that you may not notice you’ve done it.
What helps is staying with a feeling for one more sentence than is comfortable. “I don’t have a neat way of saying this” is a fine start. When a person you love has this Moon, don’t read the chatter as shallowness, and do ask a second time. “No, really, how was it?” often gets you the true answer, once they can see you meant the question.
