Your question What am I pretending not to know?

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 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 Lyra Music, craft and the specific discipline of a small art. What to avoid: Practising instead of performing.

This reading is written for the hour when the street goes quiet and the sky becomes a real place again.

Cygnus holds the middle and points at a small inheritance: a habit, a phrase, a way of apologising that came from someone else.

The last star is unremarkable, and that is the point. Most of a good life is unremarkable and correctly aimed.
