The spread

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.
The figure in the room Apollo Clarity, distance and the ability to aim properly. What to avoid: Truth delivered without warmth.
The figure who leaves Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the myth begins with an old bargain, and the bargain is still being honoured by habit.

The central figure is Apollo, and it occupies the room you are standing in: the role of the one who has to decide.

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

Take the earlier train.

The decision belongs to next week; the preparation belongs to this one.

The right people will not need the long version.
