Your question What does my restlessness want?

The spread

  1. The rim Anchor Stability chosen deliberately. A place to stop drifting. What to avoid: An anchor that has become a weight.
  2. The middle Snake A change of skin, and information arriving sideways. What to avoid: A warning read as a threat.
  3. The bottom Bridge A crossing, and a decision about which bank you end on. What to avoid: Standing in the middle indefinitely.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the first shape is a curve, and curves mean a change of direction rather than an arrival.

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

Then the grounds show a shape of doors, which is the cup's most straightforward yes.
