Your question What is about to change without warning?

The spread

  1. The rim Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  2. The middle Feather Lightness, a small kindness, and the option to travel without luggage. What to avoid: Flightiness in a week that needs a plan.
  3. The bottom Heart An affection spoken out loud this week, or waiting to be. What to avoid: Feeling kept private past its usefulness.

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

With Feather at the centre, the reading points at a favour you have been counting as a friendship.

Then the bottom of the cup contradicts the rim, which is the grounds' way of saying the first worry was not the real one.

What to do

Keep the promise you made to yourself last month.

Timing

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

Take with you

Doing it badly still counts as doing it.
