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
To Follow Your Heart
You are entering a period of joy and prosperity. Your happiness will increase substantially, and both wealth and friendships will flourish. You are agile and quick-witted, able to navigate challenges with ease. This is a time to take advantage of favourable circumstances, and rituals involving peaceful fire will enhance your success. Everything is aligning for your benefit, and it's a time to seize the moment.
3: Mundane Life
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.
4: Home
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.
5: Fun Things
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.
6: Work
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.
7: Partners
Quick Settlement and Fame
This sign indicates that your popularity will rise, and despite any challenges or conflicts, you will emerge victorious. Fighting may be necessary to overcome certain obstacles, but it will ultimately lead to fame and fortune. Expect smaller, scattered pieces of wealth to arrive from various sources. If you are working with spiritual entities to clear negative energies, offering small gifts like tea will help enhance the effectiveness of your rituals. This is a time of growth and positive attention.
8: Hidden Aspects
Essenceless and Inconceivable
The lack of results is symbolised here by a dried-up tree that produces no fruit. This domino suggests that your current pursuits are not yielding the desired outcome because they may be based on unrealistic expectations or too many distractions. You may be reaching for something beyond your grasp, and the constant pressure of unfulfilled desires is draining your energy. Perform rituals to honour your ancestors or the spirits of the earth to restore balance and refocus your energies on achievable goals.
9: Higher Views
Friendly Desire
An amazing sign is about to unfold in your life. This sign is one of unification, success, happiness, and harmony. The path you are on is the right one, and all signs point to a prosperous and joyful future. The potential for good fortune is extraordinary—things will continue to improve, and your life will be enriched by these blessings. Stay true to your course, and all you seek will come to you.
10: Reputation
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.
11: Friends
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.
12: Hopes and Fears
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.
