Your question Where am I being generous for the wrong reason?

The spread

  1. The rim Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.
  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 Heart An affection spoken out loud this week, or waiting to be. What to avoid: Feeling kept private past its usefulness.

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 last shape is faint, which means the answer is already there and simply not yet legible.

What to do

Put the decision on paper with two columns.

Timing

The evening is more honest than the afternoon.
