Your question Who deserves more of my time?

The spread

  1. The waning Waning Gibbous Sharing and digestion. Say the thing while you still mean it. What to avoid: Over-explaining to people who already understood.
  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 Thursday night, with Clear sky overhead.

First Quarter sits in the middle and describes a hunger that is not about food. Naming it is most of the work.

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