Your question Should I speak first?

The spread

  1. The waning New Moon A blank page and a low battery at the same time. Begin small. What to avoid: Starting five things because everything looks possible.
  2. The present night Dark Moon The quiet before the cycle resets. Nothing is owed today. What to avoid: Filling the silence with a decision.
  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.

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

The centre card is Dark Moon, describing the strange clarity that shows up at 36% illumination and disappears by morning. Write it down.

The reading ends on the returning light: not comfort, but evidence that the dark has a schedule.

What to do

Write it down before you decide.

Timing

Three weeks is the real timescale, whatever the deadline says.
