Your question What is costing me more than it is worth?

The spread

  1. The waning Harvest Moon Collect what you planted, in the order it ripens. What to avoid: Harvesting before it is ready because the light is good.
  2. The present night Waxing Gibbous Refinement. Nearly there, and tempted to hurry the last part. What to avoid: Perfection applied to a finished thing.
  3. The returning light 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.

The moon stands at Waxing Crescent, and the whole reading takes its rhythm from that fact rather than from your mood.

The centre card is Waxing Gibbous, describing the strange clarity that shows up at 18% illumination and disappears by morning. Write it down.

The last position is a caution about nostalgia, which is strongest when the moon is fullest and least accurate.
