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
One/Six (DHI/AH): Manjushri Appears
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.
Do NOT Do This
Blank/Five (OM/TSA)
This is a time to focus on strengthening your family relationships. Whether it's spending more time with loved ones or considering expanding your family, your family life will take precedence. This is a time for nurturing your connections and reinforcing the bonds that hold you together. Additionally, spiritual practices related to ancestors and family rituals will bring great benefits. Now is the time to build a solid foundation for your future, one rooted in love and family.
DO This
Two/Four (RA/NA): The Dried-up Tree
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.
It Leads to This
Blank/Three (OM/PA)
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.
