Your question What should I protect this month?

The spread

  1. The rim Heart An affection spoken out loud this week, or waiting to be. What to avoid: Feeling kept private past its usefulness.
  2. The middle Bridge A crossing, and a decision about which bank you end on. What to avoid: Standing in the middle indefinitely.
  3. The bottom Snake A change of skin, and information arriving sideways. What to avoid: A warning read as a threat.

The first shape is near the rim, meaning it is fresh: this is about the last few days, not the last few years.

The reading's core is Bridge, naming the thing that gets better the moment it is written down.

The final shape is a line, and lines mean travel, usually the short kind that changes a mood.

What to do
