Your question Where is the exit I keep walking past?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Sirius The brightest star, and the least subtle. Ambition with an audience. What to avoid: Visibility mistaken for achievement.
  2. The star above Andromeda Rescue arriving late and on someone else's schedule. What to avoid: Waiting to be chosen rather than choosing.
  3. The star ahead Lyra Music, craft and the specific discipline of a small art. What to avoid: Practising instead of performing.

This is a reading from the fixed stars, which do not care about your birthday and care a great deal about your direction.

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

The final star is dimmer than the others, which is the chart's way of saying the answer is quiet and does not need an audience.

What to do

Start with the smallest version of the thing.

Timing

Give it one long walk to settle.

Take with you

The answer does not need to arrive fully formed.
