Your question Where am I being generous for the wrong reason?

The spread

  1. The rim Snake A change of skin, and information arriving sideways. What to avoid: A warning read as a threat.
  2. The middle Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.
  3. The bottom Crown Recognition, authority, and the attention that comes with both. What to avoid: A title held without the work.

With First Quarter in the sky and Overcast in the window, the reading starts at the edge, where wishes and worries always sit.

The centre shape is Coin: a shape of exchange, and a reminder to check what you are actually getting.

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

Give the difficult answer the gentlest voice.
