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 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.
2: Finance
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.
3: Mundane Life
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.
4: Home
Dwindling the Mountain to Dust
This pairing signals that your pursuits are in danger of falling apart. Hopes and dreams may feel as if they are being blown away by the wind, leaving you feeling lost. Now is the time to step back and examine where things went wrong. Perform suppression or burial rituals to cleanse yourself of negative influences, as well as peaceful fire rituals to burn away any lingering bad energy. You may also want to consider making amends with those who have wronged you, as your enemies are currently working against you. Retracing your steps will offer clarity and guide you towards healing.
5: Fun Things
Clarity is approaching. What once seemed confusing or unclear will soon reveal itself to you in a way that makes perfect sense. Your ability to think clearly and logically is at its peak, and solutions to long-standing issues will now come easily. You may wonder why it took so long for you to see the answers, but trust that this moment of clarity will be worth the wait. It's a time to reflect on what you've learned and use that newfound wisdom to guide your next steps.
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
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.
8: Hidden Aspects
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.
9: Higher Views
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.
10: Reputation
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.
11: Friends
The opportunities for material gain are becoming clear. New ventures and projects are on the horizon, and it's time for you to assess which of these options align with your long-term ambitions. You may have to make a difficult decision, but trust that the right choice will bring you closer to your goals. This is a time to take measured risks and seize opportunities that have the potential to provide both financial and personal rewards.
12: Hopes and Fears
Similar Goodness
This is a time of healing and recovery. Any maleficent forces that have been holding you back are now gone. Your ailments, whether physical or emotional, will soon subside, and the plans you've been working on will start to bear fruit. This is a good omen—things are turning in your favour.
