Your question Which invitation should I accept?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Cygnus The swan crossing the sky. A long movement, graceful from a distance. What to avoid: Appearing calm while paddling furiously.
  2. The star above Centaurus Half human, half animal, and the negotiation between the two. What to avoid: Letting the instinct and the intellect work against each other.
  3. The star ahead Polaris The fixed point. Direction found by staying still rather than searching. What to avoid: Standing still so long the direction becomes an excuse.

The first star is named, and the naming is the message: some things you have to call by their real name before they move.

The middle position is Centaurus, a star of separation. Something is drifting, and drift is not the same as collapse.

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