Your question What would I do if nobody were watching?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Artemis Independence, the forest and a life that does not need an audience. What to avoid: Solitude defended past the point of need.
  2. The figure in the room Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.
  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 in the middle of a story that has been running for longer than this week.

The heart of the reading is Hermes, the figure who negotiates, which is the role this week actually requires.

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

What to do

Let the answer be obvious and unimpressive.

Timing

The best hour is early, before the messages begin.

Take with you

Progress is mostly unphotogenic.
