Your question Which door is actually open?

The spread

  1. The rim Door A plain yes, with a handle on your side. What to avoid: A door left open out of politeness.
  2. The middle Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  3. The bottom Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.

The cup opens under Pisces, and the shape at the rim is a small one, which usually means a detail, not a disaster.

Mountain in the middle is a shape of enclosure: a room, a role, or an arrangement you have outgrown quietly.

The reading ends at the bottom with a shape of roots, meaning the answer is somewhere you already lived.
