Your question What is the smallest honest step?

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 First Quarter Friction, decision, and the need to pick a side of yourself. What to avoid: Treating a normal obstacle as a sign to stop.
  3. The returning light Dark Moon The quiet before the cycle resets. Nothing is owed today. What to avoid: Filling the silence with a decision.

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

The middle position holds First Quarter. It says your body is running about four days ahead of your plans.

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