Your question Which promise should I renegotiate?

The spread

  1. What is rooted Sowilo The sun, success and a clear line of sight. What to avoid: Basking instead of finishing.
  2. What is rising Thurisaz A gate and a thorn. The obstacle that is also the way through. What to avoid: Reacting to provocation on reflex.
  3. What must be cut Isa Stillness, ice and the pause that preserves. What to avoid: Waiting as an avoidance strategy.

The reading opens with a rune of work, which is the least glamorous and most reliable kind of answer.

The reading's core is Thurisaz, naming the thing that must be cut so the rest can grow.

The cast ends on the rune of inheritance, which suggests this week's problem belonged to someone else first.
