Your question Is this a beginning or an ending in disguise?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Pleiades A small cluster, sisters, and the power of a chosen group. What to avoid: Loyalty to a group that stopped fitting.
  2. The star above Cygnus The swan crossing the sky. A long movement, graceful from a distance. What to avoid: Appearing calm while paddling furiously.
  3. The star ahead Sirius The brightest star, and the least subtle. Ambition with an audience. What to avoid: Visibility mistaken for achievement.

On a Friday in autumn, with Waxing Crescent overhead, the reading takes its scale from the sky and its detail from your week.

At the centre, Cygnus: a star of navigation rather than arrival. You are not lost; you are simply early.

The final note is about light pollution, and about how much of your own sky you have stopped looking at.
