Your question What should I protect this month?

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 Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.

The cast opens under Leo, and the first role is the architect: someone, possibly you, built the conditions and then forgot.

At the centre, Athena, the figure of war conducted badly: a conflict continued past its purpose.

The final role is the witness, and it is the least dramatic and most useful part you could take.

What to do

Let the answer be obvious and unimpressive.

Timing

The decision belongs to next week; the preparation belongs to this one.

Take with you

The rest is part of the work.
