Your question Why do I keep hesitating?

The spread

  1. What the season gives Falling Leaf Release without grief. The tree does not negotiate. What to avoid: Letting go of something that still had a season left.
  2. What it takes Thaw Movement after stillness, and the mud that comes with it. What to avoid: Expecting the thaw to arrive already organised.
  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.

The centre of the omen is Thaw, and it belongs entirely to this time of year: a small, seasonal, manageable thing.

The reading ends where the season ends: with a change of light and a decision about what to keep.
