Your question Who am I becoming, slowly, without deciding?

The spread

  1. The rim Bird News arriving in a small, quick form. A message, not a letter. What to avoid: Gossip mistaken for information.
  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 Door A plain yes, with a handle on your side. What to avoid: A door left open out of politeness.

The cup is turned three times on a Sunday in autumn, and the first shape settles near the rim, which is where the recent things live.

The middle of the cup holds Coin. It sits exactly where your attention sits, and it describes something being carried rather than chosen.

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

What to do

Write it down before you decide.

Timing

Three weeks is the real timescale, whatever the deadline says.

Take with you

The uncomfortable hour is doing useful work.
