Your question What is the smallest honest step?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Poseidon Deep feeling, unpredictable force, and moods with a tide. What to avoid: Emotion used as an argument.
  2. The figure in the room Hades Reduction, patience, and wealth that is invisible from above. What to avoid: A withdrawal mistaken for a loss.
  3. The figure who leaves Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.

The reading opens in the middle of a story that has been running for longer than this week.

The core of the reading is Hades, the figure of the underworld, which is the mythic way of saying a period of reduction.

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