Your question How do I stop carrying this?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Vega A calibration star. Used to measure everything except itself. What to avoid: Being the reference point for others and lost to yourself.
  2. The star above Polaris The fixed point. Direction found by staying still rather than searching. What to avoid: Standing still so long the direction becomes an excuse.
  3. The star ahead Centaurus Half human, half animal, and the negotiation between the two. What to avoid: Letting the instinct and the intellect work against each other.

The chart opens with the star behind you, and it is not a compliment: it is a description of what you survived.

The core of the reading is Polaris, and it says the thing you are calling a delay is actually a redirection.

Then the chart folds: the star ahead is the same one behind you, approached from a different direction.
