Your question Where should my energy go this week?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Zeus Authority, decision and the loneliness of the last word. What to avoid: Power used because it is available.
  2. The figure in the room Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.
  3. The figure who leaves Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.

The reading opens with the figure who set the situation up, and in the old stories that figure is almost never you.

At the centre, Hephaestus: the figure of the return, meaning something comes back and must be recognised rather than resisted.

The twist is generational: the pattern being played out this week was written before you were born.
