Your question Should I wait or move?

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 Cassiopeia A queen upside down half the year. Dignity that survives rearrangement. What to avoid: Pride that will not accept a new position.

The chart opens with the sky over Washington, D.C. and the feeling that you have been navigating by a smaller star than necessary.

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

The chart ends where navigation always ends: with one direction and a decision about when to start walking.
