Your question Which invitation should I accept?

The spread

  1. The rim Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.
  2. The middle Bird News arriving in a small, quick form. A message, not a letter. What to avoid: Gossip mistaken for information.
  3. The bottom Bird News arriving in a small, quick form. A message, not a letter. What to avoid: Gossip mistaken for information.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the first shape is a curve, and curves mean a change of direction rather than an arrival.

The centre shape is Bird, which is a shape of movement, and it says the waiting is nearly finished.

The final shape is a line, and lines mean travel, usually the short kind that changes a mood.

What to do

Take the meeting walking.

Timing
