Your question Which version of the story is true?

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 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 Waxing Gibbous Refinement. Nearly there, and tempted to hurry the last part. What to avoid: Perfection applied to a finished thing.

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

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

The final position turns practical: the lunar month ends soon, and whatever you want to begin should be small enough to survive the dark.
