Your question What does this silence mean?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Polaris The fixed point. Direction found by staying still rather than searching. What to avoid: Standing still so long the direction becomes an excuse.
  2. 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.
  3. The star ahead Lyra Music, craft and the specific discipline of a small art. What to avoid: Practising instead of performing.

The chart opens with the sky over Washington, D.C. and the feeling that you have been navigating by a smaller star than necessary.

The core of the reading is Orion, and it says the thing you are calling a delay is actually a redirection.

Then the reading notes a second star rising in the same place, which is rare and usually means a choice, not a coincidence.
