Your question Where am I being generous for the wrong reason?

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 Ares Conflict with a purpose, and the courage to be disliked. What to avoid: A fight continued past its reason.
  3. The figure who leaves Zeus Authority, decision and the loneliness of the last word. What to avoid: Power used because it is available.

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

The heart of the reading is Ares, the figure who negotiates, which is the role this week actually requires.

Then the story turns and the first figure reappears in the third position, meaning the situation resolves the way it began.
