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

The spread

  1. What the season gives Harvest Collection, arithmetic and the reward of a prior month. What to avoid: Taking the harvest before it is ripe.
  2. What it takes First Bloom Evidence, not hope. Something you planted is provably alive. What to avoid: Celebrating at the sprout and abandoning at the stem.
  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.

It is autumn in Washington, D.C., and the reading begins with the least mysterious fact available: the light is a particular length today.

The centre omen is First Bloom: a reminder that the season is a rhythm, not a deadline.

The last position is a small, specific joy: the kind autumn gives away for free and you have not collected.
