Your question What would I do if nobody were watching?

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 Door A plain yes, with a handle on your side. What to avoid: A door left open out of politeness.
  3. The bottom Eye Being seen, or finally seeing. Clarity with a witness. What to avoid: Watching instead of participating.

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

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

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