Your question What should I protect this month?

The spread

  1. The waning Wandering Moon A night that will not settle. Useful for writing, useless for deciding. What to avoid: Making a promise at three in the morning.
  2. The present night Waning Gibbous Sharing and digestion. Say the thing while you still mean it. What to avoid: Over-explaining to people who already understood.
  3. The returning light Waning Gibbous Sharing and digestion. Say the thing while you still mean it. What to avoid: Over-explaining to people who already understood.

This reading is written for Washington, D.C. on a Sunday night, with Overcast overhead.

At the centre, Waning Gibbous, which is the phase of second thoughts. Some of them are worth keeping.

The final position turns practical: the lunar month ends soon, and whatever you want to begin should be small enough to survive the dark.
