Your question Which promise should I renegotiate?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Pleiades A small cluster, sisters, and the power of a chosen group. What to avoid: Loyalty to a group that stopped fitting.
  2. The star above Cassiopeia A queen upside down half the year. Dignity that survives rearrangement. What to avoid: Pride that will not accept a new position.
  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 first star is named, and the naming is the message: some things you have to call by their real name before they move.

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

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