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).

The Peach is an emblem of longevity, health, and divine favour. It is associated with immortality and the blessings of celestial beings. It signals a period of renewal and sustained well-being—both physically and spiritually. It suggests endurance, wisdom, and careful cultivation will bring lasting rewards. The Peach also represents rare and valuable opportunities that, once seized, can bring tremendous fortune and happiness.

Orchid – Refinement

The Orchid is a symbol of elegance, integrity, and higher wisdom. It represents the pursuit of personal and spiritual elevation, urging you to rise above mundane distractions and embrace a more enlightened path. The Orchid is associated with those who dedicate themselves to knowledge and self-improvement. This tile suggests a time of refinement—whether in personal relationships, intellectual pursuits, or spiritual development. You are being called to cultivate grace, dignity, and a deeper understanding of the world around you. The Orchid also signifies that beauty and wisdom come from patience and cultivation, not force or haste.

 

 

 

 

Bamboo 2 – The Duck

A symbol of devotion, emotional stability, and harmony, the Duck embodies long-lasting relationships built on mutual trust and shared goals. Whether in love, friendship, or business partnership, this tile speaks of unwavering loyalty and the ability to weather hardships together. The Duck's presence reassures that unity and commitment will overcome all obstacles, leading to enduring companionship and shared prosperity. It also serves as a reminder to maintain balance in relationships—communication, reciprocity, and emotional nourishment are necessary to sustain the bond.

Outcome if you do not do it:

 

 

Bamboo 4 – The Carp

The Carp signifies perseverance, tranquillity, and spiritual fulfilment. A bringer of both material and emotional wealth, this tile reflects the journey towards balance and peace. Just as the carp swims against the current, overcoming obstacles will lead to deep contentment and inner harmony. The Carp is also associated with personal evolution—through consistent effort and inner strength, one can transform challenges into victories. This tile may also indicate a situation where patience and persistence will be rewarded, especially in matters of career, education, or self-improvement. A transformation is on the horizon; trust your ability to rise above adversity.

 

 

 

 

Winter –

Winter represents stillness, endings, and the contemplation that comes before renewal. This tile signifies a period of quiet, where external activity slows, and the focus turns inwards. It may indicate a time of rest, solitude, or even loss—but within this stillness lies great wisdom. Winter teaches that endings are necessary for rebirth; it is a time to release old burdens, reflect on experiences, and prepare for a new cycle. Patience is required, as growth often happens beneath the surface before it becomes visible. Trust the process—this period of dormancy is temporary, and spring will come again.

 

 

 

 

Worm

The Worm epitomises regenerative energy, transformation, and the power hidden within seemingly insignificant beginnings. It represents the natural process of decay and renewal, where overlooked resources are converted into the nourishment required for growth. This tile speaks to the strength found in humility and persistence, reminding you that progress starts from the smallest seed of effort. The Worm's influence encourages you to see potential in neglected areas and initiate healing processes in both personal and professional realms. It emphasises the importance of continual self-improvement and the subtle shifts that lead to long-term change. By embracing the cycle of decay and rebirth, you learn to transform setbacks into stepping stones, harnessing the power of incremental progress to cultivate lasting results. The worm is an old Tibetan home remedy with tremendous healing properties, and it represents a powerful cure-all.
