Your question Should I speak first?

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 Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.
  3. The bottom Feather Lightness, a small kindness, and the option to travel without luggage. What to avoid: Flightiness in a week that needs a plan.

The grounds are read the old way, from rim to bottom, which means the reading gets more honest as it goes.

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

The final shape is a circle, and circles in the grounds mean a conversation returning to its starting point until someone changes a line.
