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.

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.

 

 

 

 

Red Dragon – The Centre

The Red Dragon is the embodiment of vibrant energy, success, and the fulfilment of destiny. It radiates warmth and vitality, symbolising the core drive that propels you towards achievement. In esoteric terms, the Red Dragon is not merely a sign of ambition but also a reminder to balance passion with moderation. Its fiery hue and central position reflect both the life force and the transformative power within, urging you to harness your inner courage to overcome challenges. As a harbinger of favourable outcomes, the Red Dragon warns against reckless pursuits, insisting that success arises from a harmonious integration of heart and mind. Its presence in a reading signals that your goals are within reach, provided you maintain clarity and determination amid the ebb and flow of life's challenges.

 

 

 

 

Circles 3 – The Phoenix

The Phoenix embodies rebirth, transformation, and the power of rising from the ashes of past struggles. This tile marks a significant change, often following a time of hardship or destruction. Though the process may be painful, it is necessary for growth and renewal. The Phoenix encourages embracing endings as a prelude to new beginnings, shedding the past like old feathers to allow something stronger to emerge. It is a symbol of resilience—no matter how difficult the circumstances, you have the inner strength to rebuild and thrive. This tile also suggests a realisation that will reshape your path for the better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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. If conflicts arise, this tile encourages reconciliation through patience and understanding rather than stubbornness or pride.

 

 

 

 

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.
