Your question What is the kindest accurate thing to say?

The spread

  1. What the season gives First Frost A sharp, clarifying cold. Things become briefly obvious. What to avoid: A hard start read as a bad omen.
  2. What it takes High Sun Peak light and peak exposure. Good for work, hard for rest. What to avoid: Doing the most in the least sustainable month.
  3. What it asks of you Thaw Movement after stillness, and the mud that comes with it. What to avoid: Expecting the thaw to arrive already organised.

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

The centre of the omen is High Sun, and it belongs entirely to this time of year: a small, seasonal, manageable thing.

The closing note is about the light returning, which it always does, on a schedule nobody negotiates.
