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

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.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

Three/Three (PA/PA): The Ocean of Nectar

The Washing that Cleanses

This sign represents wealth and prosperity flowing towards you, like a river feeding into the ocean. Success in ventures related to water is highlighted, particularly those that involve fluidity, change, or travel. However, be cautious with pursuits related to marriage or rituals involving fire, as they may not meet with the same level of success. Prosperity is assured, but it is important to prioritise the right areas of focus for maximum benefit.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

Five/Five (TSA/TSA): The Streamer of Fame

Quick Settlement and Fame

This sign indicates that your popularity will rise, and despite any challenges or conflicts, you will emerge victorious. Fighting may be necessary to overcome certain obstacles, but it will ultimately lead to fame and fortune. Expect smaller, scattered pieces of wealth to arrive from various sources. If you are working with spiritual entities to clear negative energies, offering small gifts like tea will help enhance the effectiveness of your rituals. This is a time of growth and positive attention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

Six/Five (AH/TSA): The White Umbrella of Good Fortune

Increasing the Power of Air

Steady and careful work will pay off in the long run. Focus your efforts on consistent, thoughtful actions, and you will see positive results. Avoid distraction and impulsiveness, as these will only scatter your mental energy. Travel and giving are favourable, especially when you make offerings to natural spirits such as ancestors or trees. Performing your spiritual practices in new or different locations will also amplify their effect, helping you to establish a deeper connection to the energies around you.

 

 

 

 

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

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.
