Your question What would I do if nobody were watching?

The spread

  1. What the season gives Falling Leaf Release without grief. The tree does not negotiate. What to avoid: Letting go of something that still had a season left.
  2. What it takes Thaw Movement after stillness, and the mud that comes with it. What to avoid: Expecting the thaw to arrive already organised.
  3. What it asks of you Short Dusk A compressed evening and the pressure to make it count. What to avoid: Evenings scheduled to the point of exhaustion.

The omen is taken from the month itself: the temperature, the light, and the specific tiredness of autumn.

At the centre, Thaw, which describes the autumn impulse to start everything at once.

The twist is about temperature: the season is doing something to your sleep that you are blaming on yourself.
