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

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.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

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 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

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.
