Your question Which version of the story is true?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Polaris The fixed point. Direction found by staying still rather than searching. What to avoid: Standing still so long the direction becomes an excuse.
  2. The star above Ursa Major The great bear and the plough. Old, protective, domestic strength. What to avoid: Protection that has become management.
  3. The star ahead Orion The hunter, still walking. A pursuit that has outlasted its original reason. What to avoid: Chasing something because the chase is familiar.

Under Pisces and Clear sky, the chart is drawn slowly, the way a navigator would draw it.

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

The closing position warns about a plan that only works if everyone behaves. They will not.
