Your question How much of this is mine to fix?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Lyra Music, craft and the specific discipline of a small art. What to avoid: Practising instead of performing.
  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 Polaris The fixed point. Direction found by staying still rather than searching. What to avoid: Standing still so long the direction becomes an excuse.

The first star is named, and the naming is the message: some things you have to call by their real name before they move.

At the centre, Ursa Major, which describes the gap between how you are seen and what you actually do all day.

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

What to do

Give the difficult answer the gentlest voice.

Timing

Move on the day you feel calm, not the day you feel ready.

Take with you

Progress is mostly unphotogenic.
