What the season gives Long Rain Days of grey that soften a decision and slow a week. What to avoid: Weather used as a reason to postpone.
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.
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.
