Your question What is the real question under this one?

The spread

  1. The rim Ship A journey with cargo. Something is being transported, including a mood. What to avoid: Departure used as a solution to everything.
  2. The middle Heart An affection spoken out loud this week, or waiting to be. What to avoid: Feeling kept private past its usefulness.
  3. The bottom Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.

The cup is turned three times on a Thursday in autumn, and the first shape settles near the rim, which is where the recent things live.

Heart sits in the middle and names the thing you keep re-reading: a message, a contract, a message about a contract.

The final shape is a circle, and circles in the grounds mean a conversation returning to its starting point until someone changes a line.
