Your question What should I protect this month?

The spread

  1. The rim Ring A promise, a repetition, or an arrangement becoming formal. What to avoid: Commitment made from momentum.
  2. The middle Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  3. The bottom Bird News arriving in a small, quick form. A message, not a letter. What to avoid: Gossip mistaken for information.

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 core of the reading is Mountain, and it names a skill nobody at work knows you have.

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

What to do

Say the compliment out loud instead of thinking it.

Timing

Ask again after the full moon.

Take with you

The hard part is not a personality flaw.
