Your question What is the one thing that would change everything?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Lyra Music, craft and the specific discipline of a small art. What to avoid: Practising instead of performing.
  2. The star above Polaris The fixed point. Direction found by staying still rather than searching. What to avoid: Standing still so long the direction becomes an excuse.
  3. The star ahead Vega A calibration star. Used to measure everything except itself. What to avoid: Being the reference point for others and lost to yourself.

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

The centre is Polaris: a star of thresholds, visible only from where you are standing right now.

The final note is about light pollution, and about how much of your own sky you have stopped looking at.

What to do

Take the earlier train.

Timing

The window is roughly ten days and it is already open.

Take with you

Small and consistent beats impressive and brief.
