Your question Why do I keep hesitating?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.
  2. The figure in the room Zeus Authority, decision and the loneliness of the last word. What to avoid: Power used because it is available.
  3. The figure who leaves Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.

This reading uses the old stories because they are the most efficient descriptions of a family, a workplace, and a debt.

At the centre, Zeus, the figure of war conducted badly: a conflict continued past its purpose.

The reading ends where myths always end: with a choice, a consequence, and a version of the story told afterwards.

What to do

Set a timer and work badly for twenty minutes.

Timing

Give it three weeks before judging the result.

Take with you

Slow is a strategy, not a failure.
