Your question What do I need to hear today?

The spread

  1. The rim Ship A journey with cargo. Something is being transported, including a mood. What to avoid: Departure used as a solution to everything.
  2. The middle Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  3. The bottom Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.

The cup is turned three times on a Friday in autumn, and the first shape settles near the rim, which is where the recent things live.

The reading's core is Mountain, naming the thing that gets better the moment it is written down.

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