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

Two/Blank (RA/OM)

The energy around you is ripe for growth. This is a time for personal expansion—spiritually, emotionally, and materially. You have the potential to achieve great things, but the onus is on you to make the most of it. Take the time to explore all the opportunities before you, whether they are of a spiritual nature or relate to material success. Now is the time to take action, invest in your growth, and move towards your true potential.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

Two/Two (RA/RA): Adding Butter to the Burning Flames of

Increasing the Level of Joy

New beginnings and strengthened connections are ahead, whether in business, personal relationships, or spiritual practices. These unions will be successful and harmonious, as long as you remain open to change while staying grounded in your values. Embrace fresh opportunities, but be careful not to lose sight of what is important to you. This sign also favours projects involving fire, indicating that ventures related to passion, energy, and transformation will lead to significant happiness and fulfilment. However, be cautious with pursuits involving water, earth, or fixed structures, as these are not favoured at this time.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

One/Six (DHI/AH): Manjushri Appears

The Increasing of Wisdom and Accomplishment of Excellence

The presence of this domino signifies a divine intervention or guidance. Manjushri, the revered deity of wisdom and clarity, is making his presence known to you. This powerful sign calls for introspection and a commitment to finishing unresolved tasks or projects. By addressing and closing the chapters you've left open, you will unlock new opportunities for growth and success. Meditating on or visualizing Manjushri's wisdom will help guide you towards the right path, bringing clarity and progress. Complete what you started, and the rewards will follow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

Four/Six (NA/AH): The Golden Mountain

Firmly Holding Your Place

This domino represents a time of stability. Your ongoing projects are on track for success, and the energies around you are favourable for achieving long-term goals. However, there may be some delays in travel or changes to plans. This is a sign of solid progress in your current endeavours, but you may need to wait patiently for the next steps. If you are feeling the urge to move or make drastic changes, take a moment to reflect before acting, as staying grounded in the present will bring the best results.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

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.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

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.
