Your question Should I wait or move?

The spread

  1. What the season gives High Sun Peak light and peak exposure. Good for work, hard for rest. What to avoid: Doing the most in the least sustainable month.
  2. What it takes Golden Hour A short window of excellent light. Use it for the thing you like. What to avoid: Spending the best hour on email.
  3. What it asks of you Cold Snap A sudden tightening, temporary, and oddly clarifying. What to avoid: A three-day cold read as a three-month condition.

It is autumn in Washington, D.C., and the reading begins with the least mysterious fact available: the light is a particular length today.

The centre omen is Golden Hour: a reminder that the season is a rhythm, not a deadline.

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

What to do
