Your question What would make this week lighter?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.
  2. The figure in the room Hestia The hearth, the centre of a house, and the stability nobody thanks. What to avoid: Staying so centred that nothing moves.
  3. The figure who leaves Ares Conflict with a purpose, and the courage to be disliked. What to avoid: A fight continued past its reason.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the myth begins with an old bargain, and the bargain is still being honoured by habit.

The core of the reading is Hestia, the figure of the underworld, which is the mythic way of saying a period of reduction.

The final role is the witness, and it is the least dramatic and most useful part you could take.
