Your question What should I protect this month?

The spread

  1. The rim Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  2. The middle Ladder Rungs, order, and a rise that requires one step at a time. What to avoid: Skipping a step and rebuilding it later.
  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 cup opens under Pisces, and the shape at the rim is a small one, which usually means a detail, not a disaster.

The centre shape is Ladder: a shape of exchange, and a reminder to check what you are actually getting.

The final shape is a line, and lines mean travel, usually the short kind that changes a mood.
