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

The spread

  1. The rim Heart An affection spoken out loud this week, or waiting to be. What to avoid: Feeling kept private past its usefulness.
  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 Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.

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

The centre shape is Door: a shape of exchange, and a reminder to check what you are actually getting.

Then the grounds show a shape of doors, which is the cup's most straightforward yes.

What to do
