Your question What is the day keeping from me?

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 Ursa Major The great bear and the plough. Old, protective, domestic strength. What to avoid: Protection that has become management.
  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 first star is named, and the naming is the message: some things you have to call by their real name before they move.

The centre is Ursa Major: a star of thresholds, visible only from where you are standing right now.

The last line points at the sky over a city you have not visited yet.

What to do

Let the answer be obvious and unimpressive.

Timing

Give it three weeks before judging the result.
