Your question Which version of the story is true?

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 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.

At the centre, Vega: a star of navigation rather than arrival. You are not lost; you are simply early.

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

What to do

Take the earlier train.

Timing

The earliest good moment is the one you keep postponing.

Take with you

You can be calm and still be moving.
