Your question What is the real question under this one?

The spread

  1. The rim Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.
  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 Ship A journey with cargo. Something is being transported, including a mood. What to avoid: Departure used as a solution to everything.

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

The centre shape is Mountain: a shape of exchange, and a reminder to check what you are actually getting.

The twist is at the bottom: a shape of two, and a suggestion that the week is decided by someone else's choice.
