Your question Who deserves more of my time?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Ursa Major The great bear and the plough. Old, protective, domestic strength. What to avoid: Protection that has become management.
  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 Ursa Major The great bear and the plough. Old, protective, domestic strength. What to avoid: Protection that has become management.

Under Leo and Clear sky, the chart is drawn slowly, the way a navigator would draw it.

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.
