Your question What does my restlessness want?

The spread

  1. What the season gives Short Dusk A compressed evening and the pressure to make it count. What to avoid: Evenings scheduled to the point of exhaustion.
  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 Long Rain Days of grey that soften a decision and slow a week. What to avoid: Weather used as a reason to postpone.

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

At the centre, Thaw, which describes the autumn impulse to start everything at once.

Then the reading names a window of about ten days in which this is easy, and after which it is not.
