Your question Where am I being generous for the wrong reason?

The spread

  1. What the season gives Short Dusk A compressed evening and the pressure to make it count. What to avoid: Evenings scheduled to the point of exhaustion.
  2. What it takes High Sun Peak light and peak exposure. Good for work, hard for rest. What to avoid: Doing the most in the least sustainable month.
  3. What it asks of you Falling Leaf Release without grief. The tree does not negotiate. What to avoid: Letting go of something that still had a season left.

It is autumn in Washington, D.C., and the reading begins with the least mysterious fact available: the light is a particular length today.

The centre of the omen is High Sun, and it belongs entirely to this time of year: a small, seasonal, manageable thing.

The closing note is about the light returning, which it always does, on a schedule nobody negotiates.
