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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

East Wind – Wood

The East Wind represents the core of your being and the birth of new energy. This tile embodies the vital force of growth, mirroring the nurturing yet resilient nature of Wood. It signifies that the energies influencing your current state are rooted in your inner self—your creativity, ambitions, and authentic identity. In a reading, the East Wind magnifies surrounding influences, urging a return to your origins to re-establish balance and purpose. Its presence implies that growth comes from aligning with your true nature, emphasising organic development, adaptability, and the inherent strength to nurture new beginnings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rooster

The Rooster symbolises punctuality, discipline, and the promise of new beginnings. It stands for communication and the commitment to rising early, establishing order in your daily life. This tile embodies self-reliance and the drive to assert your presence in the world, ensuring that every new day is approached with determination. The Rooster's crow is not just a call to awaken; it signifies the importance of marking time and seizing opportunities as they emerge. It champions responsibility and the readiness to defend one's personal space, encouraging you to face challenges. The Rooster teaches that consistency, vigilance, and proactive engagement create the groundwork for enduring success.

 

 

 

 

Circles 5 – The Dragon

The Dragon represents power, transformation, and the potential for monumental achievements. It embodies courage, strength, and adventure, urging you to harness your inner power and rise to the challenges ahead. This tile suggests a time of opportunity, where you can achieve extraordinary feats if you are willing to take bold actions and face any fears head-on. The Dragon also symbolises spiritual growth, renewal, and transcending limitations. It encourages you to embrace change and believe in your ability to influence your destiny. The presence of the Dragon in a reading highlights a period of expansion, where personal and professional boundaries are pushed, and your potential is realised.
