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).

Circles 1 – The Pearl

The Pearl represents hidden beauty, wisdom gained through hardship, and the treasures that lie within. This tile speaks of a situation where something valuable is being overlooked or where patience is required to uncover hidden potential. It is also a symbol of spiritual refinement, urging you to look beyond surface appearances to find deeper truths. The Pearl may indicate a reward after long effort, whether in personal growth, career, or relationships. It suggests that what you seek is already within your grasp—you only need the patience to recognise it. However, like a pearl formed through pressure, this reward often comes after struggle and perseverance.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Autumn – The Farmer

Autumn is the season of fruition, wisdom, and preparation for transition. It is a time when efforts bear fruit, and past choices reveal their consequences. This tile suggests rewards are coming, but they may require careful handling. Have you used your time wisely? Have you built something lasting, or are you seeing the results of neglect? Autumn teaches the importance of discernment—letting go of what no longer serves you while gathering what is valuable. This is a time for reflection, learning from past experiences, and preparing for the next cycle. It also serves as a reminder that all things are temporary, and change is inevitable.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outcome if you do not do it:

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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.
