Your question What is the kindest accurate thing to say?

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 Key Access: a permission, a password, a person who can open something. What to avoid: Holding a key to a door that changed.
  3. The bottom Crown Recognition, authority, and the attention that comes with both. What to avoid: A title held without the work.

The cup is read slowly because the grounds are always read slowly; hurry turns every shape into a bird.

With Key at the centre, the reading points at a favour you have been counting as a friendship.

The last shape is a small cross, which is the grounds' gentlest caution: not a disaster, a delay.

What to do

Say the short sentence rather than the long explanation.

Timing

The evening is more honest than the afternoon.

Take with you

The uncomfortable hour is doing useful work.
