When it is flowing

You join things together and make them hold. You are the steady peg that fastens people, plans, and places into something dependable. Others feel anchored around you, and you have a gift for making a bond last rather than fray.

When it is strained

The connections either will not hold or will not loosen. You can cling to what should be let go, fastened so tightly that nothing can move, or you reach to join things and they keep coming apart in your hands. You long to belong to something solid, and the fastening keeps failing.
