Your question Where am I being generous for the wrong reason?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Centaurus Half human, half animal, and the negotiation between the two. What to avoid: Letting the instinct and the intellect work against each other.
  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 Andromeda Rescue arriving late and on someone else's schedule. What to avoid: Waiting to be chosen rather than choosing.

The chart opens with the sky over Washington, D.C. and the feeling that you have been navigating by a smaller star than necessary.

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

The closing position warns about a plan that only works if everyone behaves. They will not.

What to do

Repair one thing before starting a new one.

Timing

The earliest good moment is the one you keep postponing.

Take with you

The uncomfortable hour is doing useful work.
