Your question What is the kindest accurate thing to say?

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 Ladder Rungs, order, and a rise that requires one step at a time. What to avoid: Skipping a step and rebuilding it later.
  3. The bottom Snake A change of skin, and information arriving sideways. What to avoid: A warning read as a threat.

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

The middle of the cup holds Ladder. It sits exactly where your attention sits, and it describes something being carried rather than chosen.

The reading ends at the bottom with a shape of roots, meaning the answer is somewhere you already lived.

What to do

Sleep before deciding anything large.

Timing

Wait for the second thought, then move quickly.

Take with you

You may outgrow a room and still love the people in it.
