Your question What am I pretending not to know?

The spread

  1. The waning Last Quarter Removal. Cut the version of the plan that no longer fits. What to avoid: Quitting the good thing along with the bad.
  2. The present night Waxing Gibbous Refinement. Nearly there, and tempted to hurry the last part. What to avoid: Perfection applied to a finished thing.
  3. The returning light Last Quarter Removal. Cut the version of the plan that no longer fits. What to avoid: Quitting the good thing along with the bad.

The lunar reading opens quietly, because the moon never shouts and is never wrong about the tide.

At the centre, Waxing Gibbous: an instruction to protect the hours before midnight, which are currently doing most of your thinking for you.

Then the reading reverses itself, which is what the moon does: what felt like a loss of energy is a redistribution of it.

Take with you

Small and consistent beats impressive and brief.
