Your question What is the kindest accurate thing to say?

The spread

  1. The rim Anchor Stability chosen deliberately. A place to stop drifting. What to avoid: An anchor that has become a weight.
  2. The middle Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.
  3. The bottom Ship A journey with cargo. Something is being transported, including a mood. What to avoid: Departure used as a solution to everything.

This reading has no apparatus. Only a cup, a light, and the willingness to see shapes rather than stains.

At the centre, Tree: a shape of two halves, which means a decision with a person, not about a person.

The last shape is faint, which means the answer is already there and simply not yet legible.

What to do

Write it down before you decide.
