Your question What would make this week lighter?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.
  2. The figure in the room Poseidon Deep feeling, unpredictable force, and moods with a tide. What to avoid: Emotion used as an argument.
  3. The figure who leaves Poseidon Deep feeling, unpredictable force, and moods with a tide. What to avoid: Emotion used as an argument.

The first figure is the one who made the first move, and the reading is careful to note that intention and outcome are different gods.

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

The final line is an instruction, spoken in the voice of the oldest figure in the story: name the thing, and the plot changes.
