What the season gives Long Rain Days of grey that soften a decision and slow a week. What to avoid: Weather used as a reason to postpone.
What it takes Storm Front Pressure, then release. Decisions made in this weather tend to stick. What to avoid: Arguing with the weather instead of waiting.
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.

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 heart of the reading is Storm Front, and it names the thing that only works in this weather.

The last position is a small, specific joy: the kind autumn gives away for free and you have not collected.

Do the boring part first, while you are fresh.

Move on the day you feel calm, not the day you feel ready.

The uncomfortable hour is doing useful work.
