Your question What would make this week lighter?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Polaris The fixed point. Direction found by staying still rather than searching. What to avoid: Standing still so long the direction becomes an excuse.
  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 Lyra Music, craft and the specific discipline of a small art. What to avoid: Practising instead of performing.

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 chart's core is Vega, and it names a skill you underestimate because it comes easily to you.

The closing position is a caution about borrowed goals, the kind that sound impressive in conversation.

What to do

Ask for the thing plainly, once.
