Fluid around the Heart

Fluid around the heart is read through the pericardium that guards it - the organ of love bracing for attack. The pattern is read as a heart that feels its love under threat and walls itself in fluid, beneath a belief that one is not safely loved or worthy of love, with fear for one's own heart and a loved one's. The short explanation's "fear of life" is that braced, defended, love-fearing heart. Relief is described as letting the heart feel safely loved rather than attacked - beginning with oneself - and trusting love enough to lower its guard.

(Note: this is a metaphysical interpretation; pericarditis is a serious cardiac condition requiring medical care.)

Example from the findings: fluid around the heart is read as a heart walling itself off, unsure it is safely loved.
