Your question What am I building without noticing?

The spread

  1. What the season gives Cold Snap A sudden tightening, temporary, and oddly clarifying. What to avoid: A three-day cold read as a three-month condition.
  2. What it takes Harvest Collection, arithmetic and the reward of a prior month. What to avoid: Taking the harvest before it is ripe.
  3. What it asks of you High Sun Peak light and peak exposure. Good for work, hard for rest. What to avoid: Doing the most in the least sustainable month.

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

The reading ends where the season ends: with a change of light and a decision about what to keep.
