Your question Should I speak first?

The spread

  1. 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.
  2. The figure in the room Hera Partnership, terms, and the negotiation inside a long arrangement. What to avoid: Dignity defended at the cost of honesty.
  3. The figure who leaves Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.

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.

At the centre, Hera, the figure of war conducted badly: a conflict continued past its purpose.

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