Your question What is the kindest accurate thing to say?

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 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 Sirius The brightest star, and the least subtle. Ambition with an audience. What to avoid: Visibility mistaken for achievement.

This reading is written for the hour when the street goes quiet and the sky becomes a real place again.

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

The last line points at the sky over a city you have not visited yet.
