Your question How much of this is mine to fix?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Orion The hunter, still walking. A pursuit that has outlasted its original reason. What to avoid: Chasing something because the chase is familiar.
  2. The star above Vega A calibration star. Used to measure everything except itself. What to avoid: Being the reference point for others and lost to yourself.
  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 Clear sky, the chart is drawn slowly, the way a navigator would draw it.

Vega in the middle is a star of return: a place, a project or a person that comes back around this autumn.

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