Your question What is the lesson inside this delay?

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 Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.
  3. The figure who leaves Artemis Independence, the forest and a life that does not need an audience. What to avoid: Solitude defended past the point of need.

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

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

The twist is generational: the pattern being played out this week was written before you were born.
