Your question What is the kindest accurate thing to say?

The spread

  1. The waning Waxing Gibbous Refinement. Nearly there, and tempted to hurry the last part. What to avoid: Perfection applied to a finished thing.
  2. The present night 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.
  3. The returning light Full Moon Everything visible, including what you hoped was not. Sleep suffers. What to avoid: Acting on a feeling that peaks and drops within a day.

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

The centre of this reading is New Moon. It describes a phase, not a personality: something in you is currently half-lit and pretending to be finished.

The closing note is about the people who only appear at night. One of them matters more than you admit.

What to do

Let one thing be unfinished tonight.
