Your question What is the smallest honest step?

The spread

  1. The rim Ladder Rungs, order, and a rise that requires one step at a time. What to avoid: Skipping a step and rebuilding it later.
  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 Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.

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

At the centre, Mountain: a shape of two halves, which means a decision with a person, not about a person.

At the bottom, where the reading gets honest, sits the shape of money: not a crisis, an adjustment.
