Game Plan Layout
Difficulty: Easy
When a person has a certain plan in mind, this simple five-tile spread presents a choice, hinting at what action or attitude should be taken for their plan to succeed, and what should be avoided to help the plan work out for the best.
The initial tile is laid in the centre of the layout, the significator. The following four tiles are laid out clockwise around the significator.
In this spread, the second tile is about what drives the reader, but also says they are not fully conscious of this, perhaps even completely unaware of it. It provides a hint as to the reason they strive for their goal.
The third tile uncovers what others think of the reader and their goals. The reader may or may not be aware of this. Sometimes other people factor into the plans (and sometimes they don't).
The fourth tile suggests what not to do. If things are permitted to go down this path, the plan will collapse.
The fifth tile is a hint as to how to make this plan work out favourably. The idea this tile presents should be followed to make the plan successful. It is the differences between Tiles #4 & #5 that should be noted, as the differences provide important clues.

Physically it may suggest a child is coming, or a new project is about to emerge. The Lotus Flower tile also speaks of regeneration, and may indicate a time of recovery from hardship; a new beginning.
