Your question What am I ready to release?

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 Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.
  3. The bottom Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.

With First Quarter in the sky and Partly cloudy in the window, the reading starts at the edge, where wishes and worries always sit.

The heart of the cup is Coin, describing a habit that costs you about an hour a day and is entirely fixable.

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