Your question Which door is actually open?

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 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 Lyra Music, craft and the specific discipline of a small art. What to avoid: Practising instead of performing.

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

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