Your question Which invitation should I accept?

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 Sirius The brightest star, and the least subtle. Ambition with an audience. What to avoid: Visibility mistaken for achievement.
  3. The star ahead Polaris The fixed point. Direction found by staying still rather than searching. What to avoid: Standing still so long the direction becomes an excuse.

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

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

Then the chart folds: the star ahead is the same one behind you, approached from a different direction.

What to do

Do the kind thing, then the correct thing.

Timing

Take with you

Doing it badly still counts as doing it.
