The spread

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.
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.
What it asks of you Cold Snap A sudden tightening, temporary, and oddly clarifying. What to avoid: A three-day cold read as a three-month condition.

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.

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

Start with the smallest version of the thing.

The best hour is early, before the messages begin.

The right people will not need the long version.
