The Astrological Layout
Difficulty: Complicated
The Astrological Spread is based upon houses of astrology. This complicated layout takes several steps to understand.
The first step is to interpret the domino for each individual position in the layout.
The second step involves further examination of the main axes. Positions 1 & 7 show the relationship theme, #1 representing the reader, #7 their partner. Positions 4 & 10 indicate motion. #4 indicates where the reader is now, and #10 suggests what they are moving towards.
The third step involves breaking down the chart into triads according to their house elements.
Positions 1, 5, & 9 represent the Fire triad, symbolising temperament and personal development.
Positions 2, 6, & 10 represent the Earth triad, concerned with materialism, money, and work.
Positions 3, 7, & 11 represent the Air triad, which has to do with thoughts, ideas, and connections with other people.
Positions 4, 8, & 12 represent the Water triad, the realm of emotions, moods, intuition, and yearnings.
Further, other patterns and correlations between certain numbers can be noted. Certain numbers such as the set of 5, 7, & 8 often speak about a particular theme.

1: Basic Mood
Decreasing Happiness
This sign reflects a time of stagnation, where progress feels blocked or delayed. Like a river that stops flowing when its source is dammed, your connection to higher guidance has been interrupted, and your actions may feel directionless or ineffective. This could be due to external distractions or internal conflicts clouding your intentions. A spiritual cleanse or reconnection to your faith and beliefs will help to clear this blockage and realign your path.
2: Finance
Joyful News Arrives at the Summit of the Mountain
This sign is often called 'the wish-fulfilling tree', representing rapid growth and success. Any efforts involving communication, such as sending messages or receiving important news, will be met with favourable outcomes. It suggests that your goals can be achieved faster than expected, particularly when you focus on presenting your ideas or projects to others. The act of decoration, embellishment, or adding flair to your plans will enhance their impact, bringing positive recognition and results.
3: Mundane Life
The Boiling Agitation
A turbulent sign, this pairing indicates significant emotional unrest and the threat of external disruptions, such as enemies or legal battles. You feel attacked, whether by malicious gossip, deceit, or even black magic. The source of this disturbance lies in negative, combative energy—perhaps stemming from quarrels or environments where negativity breeds. Now is the time to confront these sources, address conflicts, and settle unresolved disputes. You must also channel your negative emotions into positive action. Performing rituals such as creating yellow clay stupas or honouring sacred deities will help restore balance and ward off further harm.
4: Home
Subduing All Others by being Endowed
This sign is indicative of inner strength and the potential for triumph over your adversaries. There is power in destruction at this moment, so if you must confront enemies or challenges, do so with confidence. Your actions will meet with success, but it will come at a cost. Continually honour your spiritual protectors and engage in rituals to strengthen your defences. Be aware that activities involving earth and water may encounter difficulties during this time.
5: Fun Things
Advice from a Benevolent Friend
The wisdom of the universe is now opening up to you. This is a sign that a friend's advice will prove invaluable. Trust in the guidance of those around you, and you will benefit greatly from their insight. Rituals for divination and spiritual seeking will also be fruitful at this time. Your path is clear—follow the advice of those trying to help you.
6: Work
The Washing that Cleanses
This sign represents wealth and prosperity flowing towards you, like a river feeding into the ocean. Success in ventures related to water is highlighted, particularly those that involve fluidity, change, or travel. However, be cautious with pursuits related to marriage or rituals involving fire, as they may not meet with the same level of success. Prosperity is assured, but it is important to prioritise the right areas of focus for maximum benefit.
7: Partners
Being Oppressed by a Mountain
This sign reflects difficulties in the areas of property, relationships, and family matters. Strong obstacles are in your path, and now is the time to subvert these challenges. There may be a specific object, such as a yellow item or a square object linked to earth spirits, negatively affecting your life. Investigate the energies surrounding you and eliminate anything contributing to your misfortune. Stay focused on overcoming these hurdles with calm determination, for success lies in how you handle adversity.
8: Hidden Aspects
Increasing the Level of Joy
New beginnings and strengthened connections are ahead, whether in business, personal relationships, or spiritual practices. These unions will be successful and harmonious, as long as you remain open to change while staying grounded in your values. Embrace fresh opportunities, but be careful not to lose sight of what is important to you. This sign also favours projects involving fire, indicating that ventures related to passion, energy, and transformation will lead to significant happiness and fulfilment. However, be cautious with pursuits involving water, earth, or fixed structures, as these are not favoured at this time.
9: Higher Views
Placing One Great Thing upon Another Great Thing
This is an extraordinarily favourable sign of prosperity and abundance. Wealth and resources will flow into your life, and your projects will meet with success. This period is ripe for rituals involving earth energies and wealth creation, such as the construction of stupas, shrines, or offerings of gratitude. The abundance you experience will extend to your material world, but be cautious: any efforts focused on destruction or negative energy will not yield favourable outcomes. Additionally, be prepared for delays in travel or the shifting of plans; patience is key, as the universe works in its own timing.
10: Reputation
The Increasing of Wisdom and Accomplishment of Excellence
The presence of this domino signifies a divine intervention or guidance. Manjushri, the revered deity of wisdom and clarity, is making his presence known to you. This powerful sign calls for introspection and a commitment to finishing unresolved tasks or projects. By addressing and closing the chapters you've left open, you will unlock new opportunities for growth and success. Meditating on or visualizing Manjushri's wisdom will help guide you towards the right path, bringing clarity and progress. Complete what you started, and the rewards will follow.
11: Friends
The Giving of Fearlessness
The 'Stainless Sky' suggests a need for mental clarity and purity. Now is the time to listen to the subtle guidance of the spirits of the air, as their messages will bring valuable insight. Cleanse your mind of impure thoughts and focus on cultivating peace and balance. Small offerings of gratitude will help preserve your wealth and relationships. This sign is generally neutral, but it highlights the importance of maintaining purity and alignment with spiritual forces.
12: Hopes and Fears
The appearance of this domino heralds the arrival of new relationships, friendships, and opportunities. You may soon encounter a new love, or a current relationship may deepen. The key to success lies in your openness to change and your willingness to take risks. Embrace the new energy that comes into your life, as it will bring personal growth. Be brave, as this is a time to move forward with confidence and trust in the future.
