Your question What am I pretending not to know?

The spread

  1. The rim Crown Recognition, authority, and the attention that comes with both. What to avoid: A title held without the work.
  2. The middle Ship A journey with cargo. Something is being transported, including a mood. What to avoid: Departure used as a solution to everything.
  3. The bottom Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.

The grounds are read the old way, from rim to bottom, which means the reading gets more honest as it goes.

Ship 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.

What to do

Set a timer and work badly for twenty minutes.

Timing

Ask again after the full moon.
