Your question What is costing me more than it is worth?

The spread

  1. What is rooted Gebo Gift and obligation, balanced. A relationship with terms. What to avoid: Giving in order to have a claim.
  2. What is rising Algiz Protection, and the instinct to raise an arm. What to avoid: Guarding something that is not under threat.
  3. What must be cut Ansuz Speech, advice, and a message from someone who knows more. What to avoid: Listening to everyone and deciding nothing.

The runes are cast onto a plain surface on a Saturday in autumn, and the first one lands face up, which is unusual and rarely flattering.

Algiz holds the middle and points at a boundary that has been redrawn so often it is no longer a line.

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

What to do

Say the short sentence rather than the long explanation.

Timing

Three weeks is the real timescale, whatever the deadline says.

Take with you

Progress is mostly unphotogenic.
