In a love reading
Step back from this relationship long enough to hear your own thoughts about it without anyone else's voice in the room. What you actually want tends to go quiet under company; give it the silence it needs to speak clearly.
Reversed
Solitude has become avoidance — you're using distance to dodge a conversation the relationship actually needs, or you've isolated so completely that connection itself has started to feel unsafe.
As you, in the relationship
You need more solitude than this arrangement allows for, and you have not said so.
Reversed
You have withdrawn, and are waiting to be come after.
What you want and dread at once
You hope for the quiet to work out what you actually think.
Reversed
You are afraid of ending up alone with it.
