Something has just caught your interest and there is real heat behind it — an idea, an invitation, an urge to make something. This is potential rather than achievement, and it does not keep. The energy is at its highest right now and it will not stay at this level, so use it while it is burning.

The turn
Act on it within forty-eight hours or admit you will not.
