Your question Which invitation should I accept?

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 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.

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

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

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

What to do

Repair one thing before starting a new one.

Timing

Take with you

The right people will not need the long version.
