Your question Where is the money going, and why?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.
  2. The figure in the room Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.
  3. The figure who leaves Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the myth begins with an old bargain, and the bargain is still being honoured by habit.

Aphrodite holds the middle and points at the figure of love, in its least romantic and most practical form.

The reading ends where myths always end: with a choice, a consequence, and a version of the story told afterwards.
