Your question How do I stop carrying this?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.
  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.

The reading opens in the middle of a story that has been running for longer than this week.

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

The closing note is a caution about the figure of the trickster, and about information you have taken on trust.
