Your question What is the kindest accurate thing to say?

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

The first position lands on a bright star, which is the chart's way of saying the direction is right and the pace is wrong.

At the centre, Sirius, which describes the gap between how you are seen and what you actually do all day.

The twist is about distance. Something you are treating as far away is closer than the map suggests.

What to do

Write it down before you decide.

Timing

The first frost changes the arithmetic.

Take with you

The uncomfortable hour is doing useful work.
