Your question What is the smallest honest step?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Orion The hunter, still walking. A pursuit that has outlasted its original reason. What to avoid: Chasing something because the chase is familiar.
  2. The star above Cassiopeia A queen upside down half the year. Dignity that survives rearrangement. What to avoid: Pride that will not accept a new position.
  3. The star ahead Cygnus The swan crossing the sky. A long movement, graceful from a distance. What to avoid: Appearing calm while paddling furiously.

The reading begins with a constellation you already know, and that familiarity is the first clue.

Cassiopeia holds the centre and describes a person you have not spoken to in a while and still measure decisions against.

The closing position warns about a plan that only works if everyone behaves. They will not.

What to do

Name the feeling out loud to one person.
