Kin 9: Red Solar Moon

All at once, a clear emotion runs through the Solar Moon and calls for immediate action, before the next tide covers it over.

One evening, you suddenly understand that a friendship has died out, that you need to call your brother, that a job no longer suits you. Nothing announced it, and yet it is all already there, whole. When you act right away, the letter goes out, the call happens, and something gets settled cleanly. When you let two days go by, the feeling changes color and the certainty crumbles.

Speed itself carries a risk. The Moon also takes in emotions that come from other people, and the Solar tone does not wait to check where they came from. Anger picked up from a colleague can take on, in you, the look of a personal certainty, and there you are settling a question that was not yours, with all the sharpness of your tone.

Acting before the water clouds over, without acting on water that is not yours: your Kin stands on that narrow line.

To hold it, the Red Serpent that guides you offers a way of sorting that moves as fast as the Moon, and its ground is the body. The clarity that belongs to you has a physical weight, a warmth that urges you to move, which borrowed emotion lacks. The Serpent also gives the drive that takes you from certainty to action without deliberating, where the Moon alone would hesitate between two tides.
