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

Five/One (TSA/DHI): The House of Good Tidings

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.

 

 

 

 

Do NOT Do This

Three/Five (TSA/PA): The Demon of Afflictions

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.

Four/Four (NA/NA): The Mansion of Gold

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It Leads to 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.
