The spread

  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 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 Clear sky overhead.

The reading's core is Waning Gibbous: a reminder that the moon empties on purpose, and so may you.

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