Difficulty: Easy

The Cross Spread is good for questions asking for advice. It can also be used to determine the meaning of a confusing tile from a previous reading, or for that matter, to shed light on other points of confusion.

In questions asking advice, this layout is self-explanatory. The main thing is to determine the difference between tiles #2 and #3. #1 is the topic and #4 is the result.

In questions regarding confusion, such as: "What was the meaning of Tile (X) in the last spread?" the main thing is also to determine the difference between tiles #2 and #3. In this case, #2 will show what the tile was not referring to, and Tile #3 will show what was really meant. Tile #1 is the topic and #4 represents the purpose it serves.

It Deals with This

Bamboo 1 – The Peacock

The Peacock, as the first tile of the Bamboo suit, signifies prosperity, renewal, and the arrival of great fortune. Its dazzling plumage represents recognition, status, and elevated social standing, yet it carries a caution—pride and vanity can lead to downfall. Success should be embraced with humility, as arrogance may unravel what has been earned. The Peacock is also an omen of transformation; a major shift in your life path is imminent, requiring wisdom and grace to navigate. This tile suggests opportunities for growth and self-expression will soon present themselves, but they must be handled with balance and self-awareness to avoid overreaching.

Wan 2 – Sword

The Sword tile embodies decisive judgement, clarity in decision-making, and the cutting away of ambiguity. It signals that a crucial choice or moment of truth is imminent—one that demands a swift yet thoughtful resolution. As a symbol of power and incisiveness, the Sword cleaves through confusion, separating what is essential from what is superfluous. This tile warns that indecision or hesitance may leave obstacles unchallenged, while a bold, clear action can dismantle the barriers standing in your way. It also serves as a reminder that decisions, once made, are irreversible; therefore, the integrity of your judgement is paramount. The energy of the Sword encourages you to trust your inner wisdom and take action confidently, knowing that the path forward becomes clearer once you have made a definitive choice.
