Your question Is this a beginning or an ending in disguise?

The spread

  1. The rim Snake A change of skin, and information arriving sideways. What to avoid: A warning read as a threat.
  2. The middle Bird News arriving in a small, quick form. A message, not a letter. What to avoid: Gossip mistaken for information.
  3. The bottom Crown Recognition, authority, and the attention that comes with both. What to avoid: A title held without the work.

The grounds are read the old way, from rim to bottom, which means the reading gets more honest as it goes.

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

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