Bleeding (Gums)

Bleeding gums are read as insecurity and doubt around a decision, with a loss of joy in expressing oneself. The pattern is difficulty holding one's positions and being firm in one's choices - wondering whether one is right to doubt or regret - feeling one's freedom curtailed and powerless, and blaming others for one's unease. The gums, the support of the teeth, bleed where one cannot stand firm. The short explanation's "reluctance to fight" is exactly that failure to hold one's ground. Relief is described as taking responsibility for one's choices, standing behind them with confidence, and trusting that one's decisions serve one's growth.

Example from the findings: bleeding gums are read as doubt and a loss of footing around a decision one cannot stand firm on.
