Your question What should I protect this month?

The spread

The rim Ladder Rungs, order, and a rise that requires one step at a time. What to avoid: Skipping a step and rebuilding it later.
The middle Bird News arriving in a small, quick form. A message, not a letter. What to avoid: Gossip mistaken for information.
The bottom Heart An affection spoken out loud this week, or waiting to be. What to avoid: Feeling kept private past its usefulness.

This reading has no apparatus. Only a cup, a light, and the willingness to see shapes rather than stains.

The heart of the cup is Bird, describing a habit that costs you about an hour a day and is entirely fixable.

The final shape is a circle, and circles in the grounds mean a conversation returning to its starting point until someone changes a line.

Let the answer be obvious and unimpressive.

The earliest good moment is the one you keep postponing.

The hard part is not a personality flaw.
