Your question Should I speak first?
The spread
- The star behind you Ursa Major The great bear and the plough. Old, protective, domestic strength. What to avoid: Protection that has become management.
- The star above Orion The hunter, still walking. A pursuit that has outlasted its original reason. What to avoid: Chasing something because the chase is familiar.
- 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.
On a Thursday in autumn, with Waxing Crescent overhead, the reading takes its scale from the sky and its detail from your week.
The central star is Orion. Its light is old and steady, and it describes a loyalty in your life that has outlived its usefulness.
The last star is unremarkable, and that is the point. Most of a good life is unremarkable and correctly aimed.
What to do
Name the feeling out loud to one person.
Timing
The first attempt should be small enough to repeat.
