Your question Where does this path actually lead?

The spread

  1. The rim Door A plain yes, with a handle on your side. What to avoid: A door left open out of politeness.
  2. The middle Key Access: a permission, a password, a person who can open something. What to avoid: Holding a key to a door that changed.
  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 cup is read slowly because the grounds are always read slowly; hurry turns every shape into a bird.

The centre shape is Key: a shape of exchange, and a reminder to check what you are actually getting.

Then the bottom of the cup contradicts the rim, which is the grounds' way of saying the first worry was not the real one.

What to do

Clear one surface and the rest follows.

Take with you

The answer does not need to arrive fully formed.
