Your question What should I protect this month?

The spread

The figure who set it up Hestia The hearth, the centre of a house, and the stability nobody thanks. What to avoid: Staying so centred that nothing moves.
The figure in the room Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.
The figure who leaves Ares Conflict with a purpose, and the courage to be disliked. What to avoid: A fight continued past its reason.

Before the figures, a note: myths are not moral instructions. They are patterns, and patterns can be stepped out of.

The centre figure is Aphrodite, describing the inventor, and the specific loneliness of building something nobody asked for.

Then the story turns and the first figure reappears in the third position, meaning the situation resolves the way it began.

Do the kind thing, then the correct thing.

The middle of the week is better than the start.

Slow is a strategy, not a failure.
