Your question What would make this week lighter?

The spread

  1. The rim Heart An affection spoken out loud this week, or waiting to be. What to avoid: Feeling kept private past its usefulness.
  2. The middle Snake A change of skin, and information arriving sideways. What to avoid: A warning read as a threat.
  3. The bottom Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.

With Waxing Crescent in the sky and Overcast in the window, the reading starts at the edge, where wishes and worries always sit.

At the centre, Snake, which describes a plan that is solid in outline and empty in detail.

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