Your question Which invitation should I accept?

The spread

  1. The rim Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  2. The middle Door A plain yes, with a handle on your side. What to avoid: A door left open out of politeness.
  3. The bottom Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.

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

The centre shape is Door, which is a shape of movement, and it says the waiting is nearly finished.

The twist is at the bottom: a shape of two, and a suggestion that the week is decided by someone else's choice.

What to do

Write it down before you decide.

Timing

Ask again after the full moon.

Take with you

Small and consistent beats impressive and brief.
