Your question Should I speak first?

The spread

  1. The rim Bridge A crossing, and a decision about which bank you end on. What to avoid: Standing in the middle indefinitely.
  2. The middle Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.
  3. The bottom Eye Being seen, or finally seeing. Clarity with a witness. What to avoid: Watching instead of participating.

This reading has no apparatus. Only a cup, a light, and the willingness to see shapes rather than stains.

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

The bottom of the cup warns about a plan that depends on perfect timing and forgiving traffic.

What to do

Give the difficult answer the gentlest voice.

Timing

Three weeks is the real timescale, whatever the deadline says.

Take with you

You are not behind; you are early in a longer plan.
