Your question Is this distance growing or healing?

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 Aquila The eagle, carrying the thunderbolt. A task assigned by someone larger. What to avoid: Carrying a weight that was never yours.
  3. The star ahead Lyra Music, craft and the specific discipline of a small art. What to avoid: Practising instead of performing.

The reading begins with a constellation you already know, and that familiarity is the first clue.

The centre is Aquila: a star of thresholds, visible only from where you are standing right now.

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