Your question Why do I keep hesitating?

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 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 Vega A calibration star. Used to measure everything except itself. What to avoid: Being the reference point for others and lost to yourself.

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

At the centre, Cygnus, which describes the gap between how you are seen and what you actually do all day.

The twist is about distance. Something you are treating as far away is closer than the map suggests.

What to do

Sleep before deciding anything large.

Timing

Give it one long walk to settle.

Take with you

The feeling is information, not instruction.
