Your question What is the real question under this one?

The spread

  1. What the season gives High Sun Peak light and peak exposure. Good for work, hard for rest. What to avoid: Doing the most in the least sustainable month.
  2. What it takes Long Rain Days of grey that soften a decision and slow a week. What to avoid: Weather used as a reason to postpone.
  3. What it asks of you Golden Hour A short window of excellent light. Use it for the thing you like. What to avoid: Spending the best hour on email.

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 omen is Long Rain, a description of autumn light and what it does to your patience.

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