Your question What would I do if nobody were watching?

The spread

  1. The rim Key Access: a permission, a password, a person who can open something. What to avoid: Holding a key to a door that changed.
  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 Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.

The first shape sits high, which means the week's tension is in the part of life you talk about most.

At the centre, Ladder: a shape of two halves, which means a decision with a person, not about a person.

The final shape is a circle, and circles in the grounds mean a conversation returning to its starting point until someone changes a line.
