Your question What would the bravest version of me do today?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Andromeda Rescue arriving late and on someone else's schedule. What to avoid: Waiting to be chosen rather than choosing.
  2. The star above Vega A calibration star. Used to measure everything except itself. What to avoid: Being the reference point for others and lost to yourself.
  3. The star ahead Cygnus The swan crossing the sky. A long movement, graceful from a distance. What to avoid: Appearing calm while paddling furiously.

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

At the centre, Vega: a star of navigation rather than arrival. You are not lost; you are simply early.

The final note is about light pollution, and about how much of your own sky you have stopped looking at.
