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
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.
2: Finance
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.
3: Mundane Life
A Building of Many Stories
The Treasury of Jewels symbolises unparalleled prosperity and success. Like 'butter from milk' or 'gems from the sea', your desires will be fulfilled, and your future looks incredibly bright. Whatever you seek, you will find, and the opportunities before you are vast.
4: Home
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.
5: Fun Things
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.
6: Work
Turbulent Activities Involving Benevolent People
The Three/Six combination encourages you to follow your heart and emotions. Do not suppress your feelings, as they are powerful guides towards resolution. It is essential to honour your emotional landscape during this time, as suppressing emotions will only lead to deeper confusion. Engaging in peaceful activities such as meditation, healing rituals, or personal reflection will provide the clarity you seek. Avoid destructive actions, as they will not yield any positive outcomes. Let your emotions guide you towards healing and resolution.
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
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.
9: Higher Views
Hoisting the Banner of Victory
The time is ripe to embark on new ventures and opportunities. Whatever you set your sights on now will be achieved, often surpassing even your highest expectations. This is a time for success and growth. Logical thinking and introspective meditation on your spiritual guide or deity will yield significant rewards. Partnerships and collaborations are favoured, so don't be afraid to join forces with others. Opportunities may seem too good to be true, but take the time to explore them before dismissing anything.
10: Reputation
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.
11: Friends
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.
12: Hopes and Fears
You are entering a period of deep self-discovery and personal transformation. This is a time to explore new ways of seeing and understanding the world around you. Trust your intuition, but also make decisions based on logic and reason. Weigh your options carefully before taking action, as impulsive decisions could have long-term consequences. This is a time for thoughtful planning and reflection, not rushing into anything. Take the time to think things through, and the results will be rewarding.
