Your question What is costing me more than it is worth?

The spread

  1. What the season gives Golden Hour A short window of excellent light. Use it for the thing you like. What to avoid: Spending the best hour on email.
  2. What it takes Thaw Movement after stillness, and the mud that comes with it. What to avoid: Expecting the thaw to arrive already organised.
  3. What it asks of you High Sun Peak light and peak exposure. Good for work, hard for rest. What to avoid: Doing the most in the least sustainable month.

This reading is written for the Thursday mood of autumn, when everything feels either late or exactly on time.

At the centre, Thaw, which describes the autumn impulse to start everything at once.

Then the reading names a window of about ten days in which this is easy, and after which it is not.
