The spread

The rim Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
The middle Key Access: a permission, a password, a person who can open something. What to avoid: Holding a key to a door that changed.
The bottom Ship A journey with cargo. Something is being transported, including a mood. What to avoid: Departure used as a solution to everything.

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

The centre shape is Key, which is a shape of movement, and it says the waiting is nearly finished.

The final shape is a circle, and circles in the grounds mean a conversation returning to its starting point until someone changes a line.

Repair one thing before starting a new one.

The decision belongs to next week; the preparation belongs to this one.

The rest is part of the work.
