Your question How do I stop carrying this?

The spread

  1. The waning Last Quarter Removal. Cut the version of the plan that no longer fits. What to avoid: Quitting the good thing along with the bad.
  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 Harvest Moon Collect what you planted, in the order it ripens. What to avoid: Harvesting before it is ready because the light is good.

Before anything else, the reading notes the obvious: you have been sleeping differently for a few nights.

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

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

What to do

Take the smaller portion and the longer walk.

Timing
