The spread

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.
The star above Orion The hunter, still walking. A pursuit that has outlasted its original reason. What to avoid: Chasing something because the chase is familiar.
The star ahead Lyra Music, craft and the specific discipline of a small art. What to avoid: Practising instead of performing.

The first star is named, and the naming is the message: some things you have to call by their real name before they move.

Orion stands above the reading, and it points at the thing you keep doing well for other people and badly for yourself.

Name the feeling out loud to one person.

Give it one long walk to settle.

The uncomfortable hour is doing useful work.
