Your question Where should my energy go this week?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Ares Conflict with a purpose, and the courage to be disliked. What to avoid: A fight continued past its reason.
  2. The figure in the room Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.
  3. The figure who leaves Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.

This reading uses the old stories because they are the most efficient descriptions of a family, a workplace, and a debt.

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

The twist is generational: the pattern being played out this week was written before you were born.
