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

Five/One (TSA/DHI): The House of Good Tidings

Joyful News Arrives at the Summit of the Mountain

This sign is often called 'the wish-fulfilling tree', representing rapid growth and success. Any efforts involving communication, such as sending messages or receiving important news, will be met with favourable outcomes. It suggests that your goals can be achieved faster than expected, particularly when you focus on presenting your ideas or projects to others. The act of decoration, embellishment, or adding flair to your plans will enhance their impact, bringing positive recognition and results.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

Two/Six (RA/AH): The Bright Lamp

The One Who Helps Oneself

Soon, you will experience a wave of happiness and success, as doors that were once closed will now open to you. This sign suggests that progress will come easily in areas that were once challenging, bringing a sense of relief and advancement. Embrace the ease of the situation, and take advantage of these opportunities for growth. Now is a time for expansion, where things that seemed impossible will suddenly become attainable.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current 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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

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.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

Four/Five (NA/TSA): The Scattered Mountain of Sand

Dwindling the Mountain to Dust

This pairing signals that your pursuits are in danger of falling apart. Hopes and dreams may feel as if they are being blown away by the wind, leaving you feeling lost. Now is the time to step back and examine where things went wrong. Perform suppression or burial rituals to cleanse yourself of negative influences, as well as peaceful fire rituals to burn away any lingering bad energy. You may also want to consider making amends with those who have wronged you, as your enemies are currently working against you. Retracing your steps will offer clarity and guide you towards healing.

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

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.
