Your question What is the kindest accurate thing to say?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Ares Conflict with a purpose, and the courage to be disliked. What to avoid: A fight continued past its reason.
  2. The figure in the room Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.
  3. The figure who leaves Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.

The first figure is the one who made the first move, and the reading is careful to note that intention and outcome are different gods.

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

The last role is the returning one, which means the week ends with someone coming back into a room.
