Your question Is this a beginning or an ending in disguise?

The spread

  1. What the season gives First Bloom Evidence, not hope. Something you planted is provably alive. What to avoid: Celebrating at the sprout and abandoning at the stem.
  2. What it takes First Bloom Evidence, not hope. Something you planted is provably alive. What to avoid: Celebrating at the sprout and abandoning at the stem.
  3. What it asks of you Golden Hour A short window of excellent light. Use it for the thing you like. What to avoid: Spending the best hour on email.

The reading opens with the weather over Washington, D.C., because weather is the only honest small talk and the only honest omen.

First Bloom in the middle is a seasonal instruction: open the window, close the laptop, and let the hour change.

The final omen is about the first cold morning, which arrives like an instruction rather than an event.
