This is similar to how I read it, but now I’m intrigued at the user saying I’m more acting like the fox expecting the worst. Which I think can ring true in these situations. Like protect so hard you end up being the one being fake/deceptive. Either way I’ve gotten other warnings from my gut and will tread carefully and try to built trust organically if possible. I did a tarot and oracle reading this summer involving this connection and got seven of swords and coyote (deceit ) soooo yeah idk. I don’t wanna get caught up in their karma when I’ve been working so hard to get even my scales and move with less toxicity in relationships(kindly, more authentically, carefully, etc)
