  3. What it asks of you Long Rain Days of grey that soften a decision and slow a week. What to avoid: Weather used as a reason to postpone.

This reading is written for the Sunday mood of autumn, when everything feels either late or exactly on time.

The centre of the omen is Golden Hour, 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.

What to do
