Your question Which invitation should I accept?

The spread

  1. The rim Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.
  2. The middle Feather Lightness, a small kindness, and the option to travel without luggage. What to avoid: Flightiness in a week that needs a plan.
  3. The bottom Bird News arriving in a small, quick form. A message, not a letter. What to avoid: Gossip mistaken for information.

With First Quarter in the sky and Clear sky in the window, the reading starts at the edge, where wishes and worries always sit.

Feather sits in the middle and names the thing you keep re-reading: a message, a contract, a message about a contract.

Then the bottom of the cup contradicts the rim, which is the grounds' way of saying the first worry was not the real one.

What to do

Eat something proper before the difficult conversation.

Timing

Wait for the second thought, then move quickly.

Take with you

Doing it badly still counts as doing it.
