Your question Should I speak first?

The spread

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.
What it takes First Frost A sharp, clarifying cold. Things become briefly obvious. What to avoid: A hard start read as a bad omen.
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.

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

First Frost holds the middle and points at a piece of clothing, a piece of furniture or a room that needs changing.

The closing position is a caution about buying things to feel ready for a season.

Finish the oldest item on the list.

This is a two-attempt job; the first one is practice.

Doing it badly still counts as doing it.
