Your question Which invitation should I accept?

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 Anchor Stability chosen deliberately. A place to stop drifting. What to avoid: An anchor that has become a weight.
  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 first shape is near the rim, meaning it is fresh: this is about the last few days, not the last few years.

Anchor occupies the centre, and it points at a small object, a key, a document or a borrowed thing that needs returning.

The twist is at the bottom: a shape of two, and a suggestion that the week is decided by someone else's choice.

What to do

Put the decision on paper with two columns.

Timing

The evening is more honest than the afternoon.

Take with you

Progress is mostly unphotogenic.
