Decision Layout

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

This simple but highly useful spread calls for a question to be asked in this format:

"What happens if I do (X), and what happens if I do not do (X)?"

Please note that it should not be viewed as a decision between two different options, but about whether a single option should be exercised or not. A second option would call for a separate reading.

Tile #7 is the significator, the overall theme of the query.

Tiles #3, #1, & #5 represent the chronological sequence of events that occurs if the reader chooses to do (X).

Tiles #4, #2, & #6 represent the chronological sequence of events that unfolds if the reader chooses not to do (X).

Wan 6 – Fire

The Fire tile is a potent emblem of imbalance, transformation through crisis, and the urgency to address burning issues before they consume vital resources. It warns that an intense, potentially destructive force is at play, whether in the realms of finance, personal relationships, or spiritual well-being. Fire demands immediate attention, signalling that unchecked passions or conflicts may lead to irreversible losses. This tile forces you to confront what is out of control—whether it be a volatile situation, unresolved emotions, or unsustainable ambitions—and restore equilibrium before the conflagration spreads further. Yet, in its purifying aspect, Fire also carries the promise of renewal. By facing and resolving these fiery challenges, you can emerge cleansed, with a clearer sense of purpose and boundaries that protect your future.

 

 

 

Outcome if you do it:

 

 

Wan 9 – Heavens

The Heavens tile embodies the notion of completion, divine orchestration, and the transcendence of worldly endeavours. It signifies that a cycle in your life is drawing to a close, marking the culmination of efforts and the readiness to embrace new horizons. This tile suggests the forces beyond the mundane—cosmic energies, fate, or spiritual intervention—are aligning to bring your current journey to a purposeful end. With this closure comes a clarity that allows you to contemplate the next stage of your evolution. The Heavens remind you that every ending holds the seeds of a new beginning, and that your destiny is part of a grand, ever-unfolding cosmic design. Trust that the completion of this phase is not a termination, but a necessary prelude to the emergence of higher aspirations and more expansive possibilities.

 

 

 

 

Wan 1 – Entering

The Entering tile signals the imminent removal of barriers that have confined you, ushering in a period when hidden opportunities become accessible. This tile speaks to the moment of transition when your efforts align with new gateways to success. It demands courage and readiness—entering uncharted territory with both determination and mindfulness. The energy of this tile implies that personal and professional doors, once firmly shut, are now opening. Embrace this moment as an invitation to move forward; however, the transition requires that you leave behind outdated practices and step into roles that foster growth. The Entering tile, thus, is both a call to action and a herald of transformation, underscoring that the rewards for seizing these new opportunities are worth the effort of change.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outcome if you do not do it:

 

 

White Dragon – The Unknown

The White Dragon stands as a mysterious symbol of the unseen forces at work in your life. It represents the enigmatic and unpredictable aspects of fate that lie beyond human perception. This tile invites you to acknowledge that not all elements in your journey are fully revealed or understood, and that there is wisdom in embracing uncertainty. The White Dragon's ethereal quality encourages openness to hidden influences that shape your destiny. It cautions against overreliance on clear-cut answers, reminding you that growth often comes from navigating ambiguity and exploring the realms of the unknown. The White Dragon, therefore, serves as both a guardian of secret knowledge and a catalyst for intuitive insight, urging you to trust that even the mysterious aspects of life contribute to your ultimate evolution.

 

 

 

 

Spring – The Fisherman

Spring is the season of renewal, fresh opportunities, and the awakening of potential. This tile signifies the start of a new chapter—whether in relationships, career, or personal growth. Seeds that have been planted, either in the physical or spiritual realm, are beginning to take root. Now is the time for action, as the energy of creation and expansion is strong. However, like any new growth, this phase requires nurturing, patience, and care. Rushing ahead recklessly may damage delicate progress. Spring is also a time of hope and enthusiasm; embrace change with an open heart, knowing that the cycle of renewal is in your favour.

 

 

 

 

Rat

The Rat embodies industriousness and resourcefulness, symbolising the relentless pursuit of opportunity. It represents a mind that works methodically to accumulate essential resources and strategically prepare for future challenges. This tile speaks to shrewd decision-making, the skill of recognising hidden potential in everyday situations, and the disciplined work required for long-term security. At the same time, it cautions against excessive cunning and exploitation, reminding you that ethical conduct and balanced ambition are vital. The Rat encourages you to use vigilance and calculated planning to transform everyday actions into a robust foundation for success. It champions perseverance, continuous improvement, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances without compromising integrity. On the negative side, this creature can be cowardly, cunning, and cruel—and a major pest which spreads disease and destruction.
