Your question What will I regret not trying?

The spread

  1. The rim Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  2. The middle Anchor Stability chosen deliberately. A place to stop drifting. What to avoid: An anchor that has become a weight.
  3. The bottom Feather Lightness, a small kindness, and the option to travel without luggage. What to avoid: Flightiness in a week that needs a plan.

The cup opens under Cancer, and the shape at the rim is a small one, which usually means a detail, not a disaster.

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

The final shape is a line, and lines mean travel, usually the short kind that changes a mood.
