Your question Who deserves more of my time?

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 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 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.

Under Cancer, the night sky is doing its oldest trick: making small things feel enormous and enormous things feel survivable.

At the centre, Wandering Moon, which is the phase of second thoughts. Some of them are worth keeping.

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

What to do

Keep the promise you made to yourself last month.
