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

The spread

  1. The rim Anchor Stability chosen deliberately. A place to stop drifting. What to avoid: An anchor that has become a weight.
  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 Heart An affection spoken out loud this week, or waiting to be. What to avoid: Feeling kept private past its usefulness.

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

Mountain occupies the centre, and it points at a small object, a key, a document or a borrowed thing that needs returning.

The twist is at the bottom: a shape of two, and a suggestion that the week is decided by someone else's choice.

What to do

Ask for the thing plainly, once.

Timing

Give it one long walk to settle.
