Your question Who deserves more of my time?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Ares Conflict with a purpose, and the courage to be disliked. What to avoid: A fight continued past its reason.
  2. The figure in the room Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.
  3. The figure who leaves Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.

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

The core of the reading is Athena, the figure of the underworld, which is the mythic way of saying a period of reduction.

The third figure is the one who leaves, and the myth is clear that leaving is a role, not a failure.
