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

North Wind

Symbol: Water

The North Wind tile indicates there will be difficult moments ahead. These can be cancelled out if the South Wind Tile is in your reading as well.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

Circles 7

Symbol: Insect

The Insect tile indicates short-term gain through a short flurry of hectic work. It is important to realise that the gains the Insect tile offers are not lasting, or of long-term importance. At best they are a stopgap until more substantial goals come along.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

Chrysanthemum

Symbol: Pleasure

The Chrysanthemum tile indicates you will enjoy a happy time filled with social activities and leisurely moments untainted by the demands of everyday life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

Bamboo 5

Symbol: Lotus Flower

The Lotus Flower tile represents birth or rebirth. On a spiritual level it may indicate you are about to reach new heights in your understanding of your place in the cosmos.

The Lotus Flower tile also speaks of regeneration, and may indicate a time of recovery from hardship; a new beginning.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Spring

Symbol: The Fisherman

The tile of The Fisherman suggests success can be attained through the application of common sense and careful management of your time and relationships. The Fisherman is thorough and patient. He knows that while his efforts will be rewarded as long as he does not give up.
