The moon is 18% lit, and that number is the message

Your question How do I stop carrying this?

The spread

  1. The waning New Moon A blank page and a low battery at the same time. Begin small. What to avoid: Starting five things because everything looks possible.
  2. The present night Wandering Moon A night that will not settle. Useful for writing, useless for deciding. What to avoid: Making a promise at three in the morning.
  3. The returning light Last Quarter Removal. Cut the version of the plan that no longer fits. What to avoid: Quitting the good thing along with the bad.

This reading is written for Washington, D.C. on a Friday night, with Overcast overhead.

The reading's core is Wandering Moon: a reminder that the moon empties on purpose, and so may you.

The twist is temporal. In about four days, this will all feel obvious, and you will wonder why it took a calendar.

What to do

Take the meeting walking.

Timing

The earliest good moment is the one you keep postponing.

Take with you

The hard part is not a personality flaw.
