Your question What would make this week lighter?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Sirius The brightest star, and the least subtle. Ambition with an audience. What to avoid: Visibility mistaken for achievement.
  2. The star above Cygnus The swan crossing the sky. A long movement, graceful from a distance. What to avoid: Appearing calm while paddling furiously.
  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.

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

Cygnus 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
