Path Layout

Path Layout #1

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

For the Path reading, one asks for suggestions how to behave properly to achieve a desired result. The Current column represents how the reader has been acting, and the Suggestedcolumn suggests how they should act to achieve a certain goal. The chart-like layout uses the standard three levels: Rational, Emotional, and External Stance (how one projects oneself outwardly). When comparing the Current and Suggested dominoes, the most important thing is to notice the differences between the two dominoes. It is these differences which hint at the behaviours that should be altered.

Domino #1 is the significator, the domino which should reflect the nature of the query and/or the desired outcome.

Domino #2 shows the way the reader is and has been thinking. Domino #7 suggests how to change the way one thinks to serve themselves better.

Domino #3 suggests the reader's emotional attitude. Though it may seem difficult to manipulate one's own emotions, it can be done if one puts their mind to it. For example, acting a certain way such as smiling intently for a few minutes will lead the emotions to follow. When a person tries this, as silly as the exercise seems, they find this to evoke the emotion of happiness. For this reading, one should try to make themselves feel the way that Domino #6 suggests.

External Stance means how one acts outwardly, how they hope others see them. Domino #4 is about how the reader has been acting, while #5 indicates how they should act outwardly, for other people's sake. It is the differences between these dominoes that hint at what behaviour patterns should be altered.

The Significator

Three/Four (PA/NA): The Golden Lotus

Increasing Happiness

The sign of the Golden Lotus, or 'the unploughed harvest', speaks to the eventual success of your efforts. While the road may seem long and slow, rest assured that patience will be rewarded. This sign advises you to focus on nurturing your spiritual growth now, as it will yield long-term results. It is also a good time for you to share your wisdom and knowledge with others. Consider becoming a mentor or guide to someone in need. This act of selfless giving will not only help others but also strengthen your path, aligning you with the flow of prosperity.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

Blank/Two (OM/RA)

The appearance of this domino heralds the arrival of new relationships, friendships, and opportunities. You may soon encounter a new love, or a current relationship may deepen. The key to success lies in your openness to change and your willingness to take risks. Embrace the new energy that comes into your life, as it will bring personal growth. Be brave, as this is a time to move forward with confidence and trust in the future.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

Five/Four (TSA/NA): The Mara Demon of Aggregates

Being Oppressed by a Mountain

This sign reflects difficulties in the areas of property, relationships, and family matters. Strong obstacles are in your path, and now is the time to subvert these challenges. There may be a specific object, such as a yellow item or a square object linked to earth spirits, negatively affecting your life. Investigate the energies surrounding you and eliminate anything contributing to your misfortune. Stay focused on overcoming these hurdles with calm determination, for success lies in how you handle adversity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

Six/Six (AH/AH): The Stainless Sky

The Giving of Fearlessness

The 'Stainless Sky' suggests a need for mental clarity and purity. Now is the time to listen to the subtle guidance of the spirits of the air, as their messages will bring valuable insight. Cleanse your mind of impure thoughts and focus on cultivating peace and balance. Small offerings of gratitude will help preserve your wealth and relationships. This sign is generally neutral, but it highlights the importance of maintaining purity and alignment with spiritual forces.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Five/Blank (TSA/OM)

You are entering a period of deep self-discovery and personal transformation. This is a time to explore new ways of seeing and understanding the world around you. Trust your intuition, but also make decisions based on logic and reason. Weigh your options carefully before taking action, as impulsive decisions could have long-term consequences. 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.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

One/One (DHI/DHI): The Jewelled Banner of Victory

Hoisting the Banner of Victory

The time is ripe to embark on new ventures and opportunities. Whatever you set your sights on now will be achieved, often surpassing even your highest expectations. This is a time for success and growth. Logical thinking and introspective meditation on your spiritual guide or deity will yield significant rewards. Partnerships and collaborations are favoured, so don't be afraid to join forces with others. Opportunities may seem too good to be true, but take the time to explore them before dismissing anything.

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

Blank/One (OM/DHI)

A fresh chapter in your life is about to unfold, bringing a wealth of new opportunities. This is a time for you to step forward and embrace new challenges. If you stay true to your values and act with integrity, success will come. The path ahead may seem uncertain, but your strength of character will be your guide. 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.
