  1. The waning Harvest Moon Collect what you planted, in the order it ripens. What to avoid: Harvesting before it is ready because the light is good.
  2. The present night Full Moon Everything visible, including what you hoped was not. Sleep suffers. What to avoid: Acting on a feeling that peaks and drops within a day.
  3. The returning light Full Moon Everything visible, including what you hoped was not. Sleep suffers. What to avoid: Acting on a feeling that peaks and drops within a day.

The reading opens with Waxing Crescent because the moon is the only clock that cares how you actually feel.

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

The last position is a caution about nostalgia, which is strongest when the moon is fullest and least accurate.
