Your question Is this a beginning or an ending in disguise?

The spread

  1. The waning Dark Moon The quiet before the cycle resets. Nothing is owed today. What to avoid: Filling the silence with a decision.
  2. The present night First Quarter Friction, decision, and the need to pick a side of yourself. What to avoid: Treating a normal obstacle as a sign to stop.
  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.

It is a Thursday in autumn, and the sky is 10% lit, which is exactly the kind of half-tone this reading works in.

The core of the reading is First Quarter, and it names the thing you are ready to stop explaining to people.

The last line warns about over-committing near the new moon, when enthusiasm outruns capacity.
