Your question What would make this week lighter?

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 Door A plain yes, with a handle on your side. What to avoid: A door left open out of politeness.
  3. The bottom Eye Being seen, or finally seeing. Clarity with a witness. What to avoid: Watching instead of participating.

The reading opens on the rim, where the questions you asked out loud have left their mark.

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

The last shape is a small cross, which is the grounds' gentlest caution: not a disaster, a delay.

What to do

Return the borrowed item.

Timing

The answer arrives while you are doing something else.

Take with you

Progress is mostly unphotogenic.
