Your question What would I do if nobody were watching?

The spread

  1. The star behind you Sirius The brightest star, and the least subtle. Ambition with an audience. What to avoid: Visibility mistaken for achievement.
  2. The star above Aquila The eagle, carrying the thunderbolt. A task assigned by someone larger. What to avoid: Carrying a weight that was never yours.
  3. The star ahead Centaurus Half human, half animal, and the negotiation between the two. What to avoid: Letting the instinct and the intellect work against each other.

This is a reading from the fixed stars, which do not care about your birthday and care a great deal about your direction.

With Aquila at the centre, the reading points at ambition that has quietly become a habit. Is it still yours?

The last star is unremarkable, and that is the point. Most of a good life is unremarkable and correctly aimed.

What to do

Drink water before coffee.

Take with you

Doing it badly still counts as doing it.
