Your question What would the bravest version of me do today?

The spread

  1. What is rooted Gebo Gift and obligation, balanced. A relationship with terms. What to avoid: Giving in order to have a claim.
  2. What is rising Algiz Protection, and the instinct to raise an arm. What to avoid: Guarding something that is not under threat.
  3. What must be cut Thurisaz A gate and a thorn. The obstacle that is also the way through. What to avoid: Reacting to provocation on reflex.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the runes fall close together, which suggests the week's problems share one root.

At the centre, Algiz: a rune of the journey, and of the difference between leaving and escaping.

The closing position is a caution about new tools and old habits.

What to do

Say no to one thing this week and mean it.

Timing

Three weeks is the real timescale, whatever the deadline says.

Take with you

Progress is mostly unphotogenic.
