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
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.
Do NOT Do This
Three/Six (PA/AH): The Vase of Nectar
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.

Don't shy away from taking the first step—this is a chance to begin a new journey, one that will lead to personal and spiritual growth.
It Leads to This
Two/Three (RA/PA): The Demon of Death
Activity that Achieves Destruction
At this moment, it may be best to delay your pursuits. Pressing forward now will likely lead to setbacks and obstacles that could hinder your progress. This may seem like a negative sign, but it offers you an important opportunity for re-evaluation. Take time to adjust your approach, refine your strategies, and plan for the future. You'll find success later, but only after taking the time to reconsider your methods and eliminate the barriers in your way.
