Your question What should I protect this month?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Apollo Clarity, distance and the ability to aim properly. What to avoid: Truth delivered without warmth.
  2. The figure in the room Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.
  3. The figure who leaves Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the myth begins with an old bargain, and the bargain is still being honoured by habit.

The reading's core is Demeter, the figure of the hearth, and a reminder that stability is also work.

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