Your question What am I building without noticing?

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 Eye Being seen, or finally seeing. Clarity with a witness. What to avoid: Watching instead of participating.
  3. The bottom Bird News arriving in a small, quick form. A message, not a letter. What to avoid: Gossip mistaken for information.

The first shape is near the rim, meaning it is fresh: this is about the last few days, not the last few years.

At the centre, Eye: a shape of two halves, which means a decision with a person, not about a person.

The twist is at the bottom: a shape of two, and a suggestion that the week is decided by someone else's choice.

What to do

Send the message today, not on the ideal day.

Timing

Wait until you have said it out loud once.

Take with you

The hard part is not a personality flaw.
