Your question Where does this path actually lead?

The spread

  1. The rim Eye Being seen, or finally seeing. Clarity with a witness. What to avoid: Watching instead of participating.
  2. The middle Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  3. The bottom Door A plain yes, with a handle on your side. What to avoid: A door left open out of politeness.

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 Mountain, which is a shape of movement, and it says the waiting is nearly finished.

The last shape is faint, which means the answer is already there and simply not yet legible.

What to do
