Your question What have I outgrown and not admitted?

The spread

  1. The rim Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.
  2. The middle Anchor Stability chosen deliberately. A place to stop drifting. What to avoid: An anchor that has become a weight.
  3. The bottom Heart An affection spoken out loud this week, or waiting to be. What to avoid: Feeling kept private past its usefulness.

The cup is read slowly because the grounds are always read slowly; hurry turns every shape into a bird.

Anchor holds the middle and points at a relationship running on shared history rather than current pleasure.

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

Answer the email you have been avoiding.

The middle of the week is better than the start.

Take with you

The answer does not need to arrive fully formed.
