Your question How much of this is mine to fix?

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 Bridge A crossing, and a decision about which bank you end on. What to avoid: Standing in the middle indefinitely.
  3. The bottom Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.

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 Bridge, 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.
