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 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.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

North Wind – Water

The North Wind embodies the relentless, often tumultuous qualities of Water, signalling periods of emotional challenge and uncertainty. This tile suggests that the road ahead may be marked by deep, transformative trials—where turbulent emotions and shifting circumstances test your adaptability. Water's fluidity represents both the potential for cleansing renewal and the risk of overwhelming currents. It advises you to remain vigilant and adaptive, using intuition and flexibility to navigate through the complexities that arise. In essence, the North Wind is a call to harness inner strength and resilience, allowing the natural ebb and flow of life's challenges to eventually lead to personal growth and renewal.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

South Wind – Fire

The South Wind is charged with the energy of Fire, symbolising passionate drive, transformative action, and the power to ignite change. This tile heralds a period where fervour and determination are paramount, urging you to confront challenges with a burning resolve. The Fire element here cleanses and refines, burning away obstacles and outdated patterns to reveal a clearer path forward. It demands harnessing your inner flame to propel decisive actions and breakthrough moments. The South Wind's influence is both catalytic and illuminating—demanding not only a bold embrace of change but also a careful management of the powerful, often volatile, energy that fuels it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Wan 2 – Sword

The Sword tile embodies decisive judgement, clarity in decision-making, and the cutting away of ambiguity. It signals that a crucial choice or moment of truth is imminent—one that demands a swift yet thoughtful resolution. As a symbol of power and incisiveness, the Sword cleaves through confusion, separating what is essential from what is superfluous. This tile warns that indecision or hesitance may leave obstacles unchallenged, while a bold, clear action can dismantle the barriers standing in your way. It also serves as a reminder that decisions, once made, are irreversible; therefore, the integrity of your judgement is paramount. The energy of the Sword encourages you to trust your inner wisdom and take action confidently, knowing that the path forward becomes clearer once you have made a definitive choice.

This tile speaks of enduring character, suggesting that success comes not from impulsive action but through planning, persistence, and accumulating wisdom. It encourages a balanced approach to life: fusing fortitude with measured patience and strategic foresight. The Pine Tree calls upon you to root yourself in your values, nurture your ambitions consistently, and let your steady progress be the foundation upon which lasting achievements are built.
