Your question Why do I keep hesitating?

The spread

  1. What the season gives Cold Snap A sudden tightening, temporary, and oddly clarifying. What to avoid: A three-day cold read as a three-month condition.
  2. What it takes Quiet Fog Reduced visibility and the usefulness of going slower. What to avoid: Pretending to see clearly in the fog.
  3. What it asks of you Falling Leaf Release without grief. The tree does not negotiate. What to avoid: Letting go of something that still had a season left.

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 core of the omen is Quiet Fog, and it names a friendship that thrives in this season and fades in others.

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

What to do

Let one thing be unfinished tonight.
