Your question Which promise should I renegotiate?

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 Vega A calibration star. Used to measure everything except itself. What to avoid: Being the reference point for others and lost to yourself.
  3. The star ahead Andromeda Rescue arriving late and on someone else's schedule. What to avoid: Waiting to be chosen rather than choosing.

Under Pisces and Overcast, the chart is drawn slowly, the way a navigator would draw it.

The heart of the chart is Vega. It is a bright and awkward star, and it says the honest answer will cost you one comfortable silence.

The final note is about light pollution, and about how much of your own sky you have stopped looking at.

What to do

Say the compliment out loud instead of thinking it.
