Cross Layout

Difficulty: Easy
The Cross Spread is good for questions asking for advice. It can also be used to determine the meaning of a confusing domino from a previous reading, or for that matter, to shed light on other points of confusion.
In questions asking advice, this layout is self-explanatory. The main thing is to determine the difference between dominoes #2 and #3. #1 is the topic and #4 is the result.
In questions regarding confusion, such as: "What was the meaning of Domino (X) in the last layout?" the main thing is also to determine the difference between dominoes #2 and #3. In this case, #2 will show what the domino was not referring to, and Domino #3 will show what was really meant. Domino #1 is the topic and #4 represents the purpose it serves.

It Deals with This
Four/Five (NA/TSA): The Scattered Mountain of Sand
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.

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.

Three/Two (PA/RA): The Pool without a Source of Water
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.

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.
