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 9
Symbol: Heavens
The Heaven tile suggests completion. This tile denotes a time for you to consider moving on to your next goal.
Outcome if you do it:
Circles 7
Symbol: Insect
The Insect tile indicates short-term gain through a short flurry of hectic work. It is important to realise that the gains the Insect tile offers are not lasting, or of long-term importance. At best they are a stopgap until more substantial goals come along.
Bamboo 4
Symbol: Carp
The Carp tile indicates the attainment of inner-peace, tranquillity, and freedom from the pressures of everyday life. Contentment will be realised. The Carp's vibrant colours suggest a rich life. This may mean the coming of material and/or spiritual wealth.
South Wind
Symbol: Fire
The South Wind tile is considered to be a very good sign in a reading. It almost ensures a satisfactory end to any problem.
Outcome if you do not do it:
Green Dragon
Symbol: Commence
The Green Dragon tile suggests the time has come for you to begin a new project, or to take your life in a new direction.
Wan 8
Symbol: Knot
The Knot tile represents both bonding and severing. If the Sword tile (2 Wan) is in your reading then the time to sever ties with someone or something is at hand. Conversely if the Duck tile (2 Bamboo) is in your reading then there is bond that will strengthen. If both appear in your reading, then you have a relationship of some kind that is of undecided value.
Bamboo 3
Symbol: Toad
The Toad tile indicates some troubling moments along your life's path, but these aches will heal. It also suggests your ambition may be greater than your reach.
