The spread

The figure who set it up Hestia The hearth, the centre of a house, and the stability nobody thanks. What to avoid: Staying so centred that nothing moves.
The figure in the room Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.
The figure who leaves Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.

The reading opens with the figure who set the situation up, and in the old stories that figure is almost never you.

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

The closing figure warns about a bargain that looks generous and has a term attached.
