Your question How much of this is mine to fix?

The spread

  1. The rim Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  2. The middle Crown Recognition, authority, and the attention that comes with both. What to avoid: A title held without the work.
  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.

The first shape is near the rim, meaning it is fresh: this is about the last few days, not the last few years.

The core of the reading is Crown, and it names a skill nobody at work knows you have.

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

Return the borrowed item.
