Your question Is this the right moment to say yes?

The spread

  1. The rim Ship A journey with cargo. Something is being transported, including a mood. What to avoid: Departure used as a solution to everything.
  2. The middle Snake A change of skin, and information arriving sideways. What to avoid: A warning read as a threat.
  3. The bottom Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the first shape is a curve, and curves mean a change of direction rather than an arrival.

The centre shape is Snake: a shape of exchange, and a reminder to check what you are actually getting.

At the bottom, where the reading gets honest, sits the shape of money: not a crisis, an adjustment.
