Your question What is about to change without warning?

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 Ladder Rungs, order, and a rise that requires one step at a time. What to avoid: Skipping a step and rebuilding it later.

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

Anchor occupies the centre, and it points at a small object, a key, a document or a borrowed thing that needs returning.

The reading ends at the bottom with a shape of roots, meaning the answer is somewhere you already lived.
