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

One/Blank (DHI/OM)

You stand at the threshold of a new phase in life, with a blank canvas awaiting your decisions. You are being offered the opportunity to shape your future. New energies and potential are available if you remain open and receptive. This is a time when your choices matter more than ever. Your actions now will have a lasting impact, so choose wisely and be mindful of the direction you set. The future is yours to create.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

Four/Three (NA/PA): The Overflowing Jewelled Vessel

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

Three/One (PA/DHI): The Nectar-like Medicine

Similar Goodness

This is a time of healing and recovery. Any maleficent forces that have been holding you back are now gone. Your ailments, whether physical or emotional, will soon subside, and the plans you've been working on will start to bear fruit. This is a good omen—things are turning in your favour.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Six/Two (AH/RA): The Flaming Rays of the Sun

The Departing of Darkness

Matters of clarity and resolution are on the horizon. Your questions will be answered and problems will be resolved, bringing peace. However, this sign cautions against overly focusing on practical matters, as these areas may not experience the same favourable outcomes. Focus instead on spiritual and intellectual pursuits, where your efforts will meet with amazing success.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

One/Two (DHI/RA): The Endless Auspicious Knot

Friendly Desire

An amazing sign is about to unfold in your life. This sign is one of unification, success, happiness, and harmony. The path you are on is the right one, and all signs point to a prosperous and joyful future. The potential for good fortune is extraordinary—things will continue to improve, and your life will be enriched by these blessings. Stay true to your course, and all you seek will come to you.
