Path Layout

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

For the Path reading, one asks for suggestions how to behave properly to achieve a desired result. The Current column represents how the reader has been acting, and the Suggestedcolumn suggests how they should act to achieve a certain goal. The chart-like spread uses the standard three levels: Rational, Emotional, and External Stance (how one projects oneself outwardly). When comparing the Current and Suggested tiles, the most important thing is to notice the differences between the two tiles. It is these differences which hint at the behaviours that should be altered.

Tile #1 is the significator, the tile which should reflect the nature of the query and/or the desired outcome.

Tile #2 shows the way the reader is and has been thinking. Tile #7 suggests how to change the way one thinks to serve themselves better.

Tile #3 suggests the reader's emotional attitude. Though it may seem difficult to manipulate one's own emotions, it can be done if one puts their mind to it. For example, acting a certain way such as smiling intently for a few minutes will lead the emotions to follow. When a person tries this, as silly as the exercise seems, they find this to evoke the emotion of happiness. For this reading, one should try to make themselves feel the way that Tile #6 suggests.

External Stance means how one acts outwardly, how they hope others see them. Tile #4 is about how the reader has been acting, while #5 indicates how they should act outwardly, for other people's sake. It is the differences between these tiles that hint at what behaviour patterns should be altered.

The Significator

Wan 4 – Lute

The Lute resonates with the harmonies of balance, introspection, and the gentle rhythms of life. This tile is an invitation to slow down, find solace in the delicate interplay of sound and silence, and appreciate the art of subtle expression. It symbolises the need for restorative pauses in an otherwise frenetic existence—encouraging you to nurture your creative and emotional well-being through the soft strains of music and contemplation. The Lute calls for a mindful retreat from stress, indicating that complex problems may be resolved through calm, deliberate reflection. In its vibration, the Lute speaks of letting go of discord and embracing the moments that allow your inner self to be heard, guiding you towards balanced decisions and a more harmonious existence.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

Wan 3 – Land

The Land tile represents stability, nurturing growth, and the fertile ground upon which your aspirations can take root. It speaks to both physical and metaphorical landscapes, suggesting that your environment—whether a home, community, or inner state—is ready to support your ambitions. This tile emphasises that true progress is built on a solid foundation; it calls for an assessment of your current resources and surroundings to ensure they are conducive to long-term success. As a symbol of both abundance and grounding, Land encourages you to cultivate a sense of rootedness and stability. In this phase, growth will be measured by the strength of your base, and nurturing your inner landscape becomes as crucial as pursuing external achievements. This tile reminds you that when the earth is well-tilled, the seeds of your endeavours will flourish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

Wan 6 – Fire

The Fire tile is a potent emblem of imbalance, transformation through crisis, and the urgency to address burning issues before they consume vital resources. It warns that an intense, potentially destructive force is at play, whether in the realms of finance, personal relationships, or spiritual well-being. Fire demands immediate attention, signalling that unchecked passions or conflicts may lead to irreversible losses. This tile forces you to confront what is out of control—whether it be a volatile situation, unresolved emotions, or unsustainable ambitions—and restore equilibrium before the conflagration spreads further. Yet, in its purifying aspect, Fire also carries the promise of renewal. By facing and resolving these fiery challenges, you can emerge cleansed, with a clearer sense of purpose and boundaries that protect your future.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

White Dragon – The Unknown

The White Dragon stands as a mysterious symbol of the unseen forces at work in your life. It represents the enigmatic and unpredictable aspects of fate that lie beyond human perception. This tile invites you to acknowledge that not all elements in your journey are fully revealed or understood, and that there is wisdom in embracing uncertainty. The White Dragon's ethereal quality encourages openness to hidden influences that shape your destiny. It cautions against overreliance on clear-cut answers, reminding you that growth often comes from navigating ambiguity and exploring the realms of the unknown. The White Dragon, therefore, serves as both a guardian of secret knowledge and a catalyst for intuitive insight, urging you to trust that even the mysterious aspects of life contribute to your ultimate evolution.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

Rat

The Rat embodies industriousness and resourcefulness, symbolising the relentless pursuit of opportunity. It represents a mind that works methodically to accumulate essential resources and strategically prepare for future challenges. This tile speaks to shrewd decision-making, the skill of recognising hidden potential in everyday situations, and the disciplined work required for long-term security. At the same time, it cautions against excessive cunning and exploitation, reminding you that ethical conduct and balanced ambition are vital. The Rat encourages you to use vigilance and calculated planning to transform everyday actions into a robust foundation for success. It champions perseverance, continuous improvement, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances without compromising integrity. On the negative side, this creature can be cowardly, cunning, and cruel—and a major pest which spreads disease and destruction.
