Your question What is about to change without warning?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Cassiopeia A queen upside down half the year. Dignity that survives rearrangement. What to avoid: Pride that will not accept a new position.
  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 Ursa Major The great bear and the plough. Old, protective, domestic strength. What to avoid: Protection that has become management.

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

The heart of the chart is Polaris. It is a bright and awkward star, and it says the honest answer will cost you one comfortable silence.

The closing position is a caution about borrowed goals, the kind that sound impressive in conversation.
