Your question Which door is actually open?

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 Harvest Moon Collect what you planted, in the order it ripens. What to avoid: Harvesting before it is ready because the light is good.

The moon stands at First Quarter, and the whole reading takes its rhythm from that fact rather than from your mood.

At the centre, Waxing Gibbous: an instruction to protect the hours before midnight, which are currently doing most of your thinking for you.

The closing position is Waxing Gibbous again, repeated, which the lunar cycle almost never does. That repetition is the whole answer.
