Your question Should I speak first?

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 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 Bridge A crossing, and a decision about which bank you end on. What to avoid: Standing in the middle indefinitely.

The reading opens on the rim, where the questions you asked out loud have left their mark.

Ladder holds the middle and points at a relationship running on shared history rather than current pleasure.

Then the bottom of the cup contradicts the rim, which is the grounds' way of saying the first worry was not the real one.

What to do

Say no to one thing this week and mean it.
