Your question What am I pretending not to know?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Cygnus The swan crossing the sky. A long movement, graceful from a distance. What to avoid: Appearing calm while paddling furiously.
  2. The star above Andromeda Rescue arriving late and on someone else's schedule. What to avoid: Waiting to be chosen rather than choosing.
  3. The star ahead Orion The hunter, still walking. A pursuit that has outlasted its original reason. What to avoid: Chasing something because the chase is familiar.

This is a reading from the fixed stars, which do not care about your birthday and care a great deal about your direction.

Andromeda in the middle is a star of return: a place, a project or a person that comes back around this autumn.

The last star is unremarkable, and that is the point. Most of a good life is unremarkable and correctly aimed.

What to do

Make the list shorter, not the day longer.

Timing

Take with you
