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

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 Sirius The brightest star, and the least subtle. Ambition with an audience. What to avoid: Visibility mistaken for achievement.
  3. The star ahead Vega A calibration star. Used to measure everything except itself. What to avoid: Being the reference point for others and lost to yourself.

The reading begins with a constellation you already know, and that familiarity is the first clue.

Sirius stands above the reading, and it points at the thing you keep doing well for other people and badly for yourself.

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

What to do

Take the smaller portion and the longer walk.

Timing

Ask again after the full moon.
