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

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 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 High Sun Peak light and peak exposure. Good for work, hard for rest. What to avoid: Doing the most in the least sustainable month.

The seasonal reading starts with what is given rather than what is wanted, which is why it is usually right.

Golden Hour stands at the centre and describes the specific comfort of autumn, which you have been too busy to accept.

The last line warns about the middle of autumn, when everything feels either too early or too late.
