Path Layout
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/Four (RA/NA): The Dried-up Tree
Essenceless and Inconceivable
The lack of results is symbolised here by a dried-up tree that produces no fruit. This domino suggests that your current pursuits are not yielding the desired outcome because they may be based on unrealistic expectations or too many distractions. You may be reaching for something beyond your grasp, and the constant pressure of unfulfilled desires is draining your energy. Perform rituals to honour your ancestors or the spirits of the earth to restore balance and refocus your energies on achievable goals.
Current Thoughts
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 Thoughts
Six/Four (AH/NA): The Ground of Gold
The Base will be Firm if You Stay Put
Steady work will bring rewards, especially if you remain diligent and consistent. You will accomplish much through persistence and quick action, though the results may not always be immediate. This sign suggests that air-related activities, such as communication or sending letters, may not be as favourable during this time. Instead, focus on fiery, action-driven tasks, and your efforts will yield more significant results.
Current Emotions
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.
Suggested Emotions
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.
Current External Stance
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 External Stance
One/Four (DHI/NA): The Golden Wheel
Climbing upon a Throne
A period of prosperity is on the horizon. Like inheriting a fortune, you will experience wealth and success. Your long-term efforts will be rewarded, and your future is filled with promise. You will attract new friends, and even your enemies will come under your influence. For those who are sick, recovery is likely, as their troubles stem from divine displeasure.
