Your question What is the smallest honest step?

The spread

  1. The waning Waxing Gibbous Refinement. Nearly there, and tempted to hurry the last part. What to avoid: Perfection applied to a finished thing.
  2. The present night Waxing Gibbous Refinement. Nearly there, and tempted to hurry the last part. What to avoid: Perfection applied to a finished thing.
  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.

It is a Sunday in autumn, and the sky is 36% lit, which is exactly the kind of half-tone this reading works in.

Waxing Gibbous in the middle is a lunar instruction to finish something small tonight so the month does not carry it.

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

What to do
