Your question Which version of the story is true?

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 Bird News arriving in a small, quick form. A message, not a letter. What to avoid: Gossip mistaken for information.
  3. The bottom Heart An affection spoken out loud this week, or waiting to be. What to avoid: Feeling kept private past its usefulness.

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

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

Then the bottom of the cup contradicts the rim, which is the grounds' way of saying the first worry was not the real one.
