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
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.
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 Double Blank is one of the most powerful dominoes in the game. It symbolises a turning point in life, often indicating a significant shift in destiny. This domino is associated with fate, karma, and divine intervention, suggesting that a series of events beyond your control are about to unfold. New opportunities will present themselves, and you are mentally and spiritually prepared to seize them. However, if drawn in a single-domino reading, this domino advises patience—ask the question again at a later time.
4: Home
The One Who Helps Oneself
Soon, you will experience a wave of happiness and success, as doors that were once closed will now open to you. This sign suggests that progress will come easily in areas that were once challenging, bringing a sense of relief and advancement. Embrace the ease of the situation, and take advantage of these opportunities for growth. Now is a time for expansion, where things that seemed impossible will suddenly become attainable.
5: Fun Things
This domino serves as a reminder that you will reap what you sow. While you may feel the urge to focus solely on your own needs and desires, it is important to consider the broader implications of your actions. Greed and self-centeredness will only isolate you and lead to unhappiness, no matter how much wealth you amass. Cultivate generosity, humility, and compassion, and the rewards will be far greater than anything material wealth can offer.
6: Work
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.
7: Partners
A sense of peace and harmony will soon come into your life. The troubles and challenges that have been weighing on you will fade, and a sense of calm will take over. Happiness and satisfaction are within reach, and you will feel deep contentment. Trust that everything is moving in the right direction, and take the time to appreciate the peace that is about to envelop you.
8: Hidden Aspects
Scattering the Mind to Pieces
This domino suggests a time of scattered energies and wasted efforts. You may find yourself chasing fleeting thoughts and ideas that dissipate like paper in the wind. The lack of focus and clarity is hindering your ability to achieve success. During this period, it would be wise to resist external distractions and centre yourself through ritual. Perform a grounding or stabilising ritual to regain control of your thoughts and energy. Only by focusing your mental resources will you begin to find the path forward.
9: Higher Views
This is a time for strengthening your spirit. Spiritual growth is favoured, and now is an ideal moment to deepen your inner understanding. The opportunities for spiritual advancement are rare and fleeting, so don't let this moment pass by unnoticed. Take the time to engage in practices that nourish your soul, whether it's meditation, prayer, or simply seeking peace and quiet for reflection. This is an important step in your spiritual journey.
10: Reputation
The Good Field which Increases Happiness
This pair is known as 'the wish-fulfilling cow' and is a symbol of growth and happiness. However, it also suggests that a recent setback may have thrown you off course, possibly due to external negative influences. While it may seem like an evil spirit has interfered, these obstacles were necessary for your development. Sometimes, life presents challenges to prepare you for greater strides forward. Embrace the lesson of resilience, knowing that the detours were part of a larger, more beneficial journey.
11: Friends
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.
12: Hopes and Fears
Firmly Holding Your Place
This domino represents a time of stability. Your ongoing projects are on track for success, and the energies around you are favourable for achieving long-term goals. However, there may be some delays in travel or changes to plans. This is a sign of solid progress in your current endeavours, but you may need to wait patiently for the next steps. If you are feeling the urge to move or make drastic changes, take a moment to reflect before acting, as staying grounded in the present will bring the best results.
