Your question Where am I being generous for the wrong reason?

The spread

  1. What the season gives Quiet Fog Reduced visibility and the usefulness of going slower. What to avoid: Pretending to see clearly in the fog.
  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 Storm Front Pressure, then release. Decisions made in this weather tend to stick. What to avoid: Arguing with the weather instead of waiting.

On a Sunday, with Overcast outside and First Quarter above, the season makes its first offer.

At the centre, Thaw: the season's way of saying that the body knows the calendar better than the plan does.

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

What to do

Do the kind thing, then the correct thing.

Timing

The first frost changes the arithmetic.
