Your question Is this the right moment to say yes?

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 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.

Under Cancer and Overcast, the chart is drawn slowly, the way a navigator would draw it.

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

The chart ends where navigation always ends: with one direction and a decision about when to start walking.

What to do

Make the list shorter, not the day longer.

Timing

Give it three weeks before judging the result.

Take with you

The feeling is information, not instruction.
