Your question Which promise should I renegotiate?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.
  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 Hades Reduction, patience, and wealth that is invisible from above. What to avoid: A withdrawal mistaken for a loss.

On a Saturday in autumn, under Waxing Crescent, the myth reading begins with a role rather than a person.

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

The closing note is a caution about the figure of the trickster, and about information you have taken on trust.
