Your question What is costing me more than it is worth?

The spread

  1. The rim Door A plain yes, with a handle on your side. What to avoid: A door left open out of politeness.
  2. The middle Ship A journey with cargo. Something is being transported, including a mood. What to avoid: Departure used as a solution to everything.
  3. The bottom Ladder Rungs, order, and a rise that requires one step at a time. What to avoid: Skipping a step and rebuilding it later.

The first shape sits high, which means the week's tension is in the part of life you talk about most.

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

The reading ends at the bottom with a shape of roots, meaning the answer is somewhere you already lived.
