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.

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.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

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

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

Four/Two (NA/RA): The Demon of the Heavenly Son

The Believers of the Deceiver Suffer

A bad omen of instability surrounds you, and obstacles are blocking your progress. There may be unseen forces or adversaries causing disruption, particularly through items you've acquired—such as a red or triangular object that might be holding negative energy. A person in the western direction may be contributing to these challenges. Be cautious of your environment and the people around you, as their intentions may not be aligned with your goals. Focus on clearing obstacles and protecting yourself spiritually.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Four/Blank (NA/OM)

This domino serves as a reminder that you will reap what you sow. While you may feel the urge to focus solely on your own needs and desires, it is important to consider the broader implications of your actions. Greed and self-centeredness will only isolate you and lead to unhappiness, no matter how much wealth you amass. Cultivate generosity, humility, and compassion, and the rewards will be far greater than anything material wealth can offer.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

Five/Three (TSA/PA): The Empty Mind

Scattering the Mind to Pieces

This domino suggests a time of scattered energies and wasted efforts. You may find yourself chasing fleeting thoughts and ideas that dissipate like paper in the wind. The lack of focus and clarity is hindering your ability to achieve success. During this period, it would be wise to resist external distractions and centre yourself through ritual. Perform a grounding or stabilising ritual to regain control of your thoughts and energy. Only by focusing your mental resources will you begin to find the path forward.

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

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.
