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/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

Six/One (AH/DHI): The Tone of the Vajra

That Which Pleasantly Increases Intelligence

The arrival of good news is imminent, bringing joy and clarity to your situation. Your happiness will be amplified as though you've just heard positive updates. This domino also emphasises success in intellectual and creative pursuits, including studies in art, science, and spirituality. Take this time to engage in activities that fuel your personal growth. Especially beneficial will be those endeavours involving women or nurturing relationships, as they will play a key role in your current achievements.

 

 

 

 

Suggested 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

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 Emotions

Blank/Five (OM/TSA)

This is a time to focus on strengthening your family relationships. Whether it's spending more time with loved ones or considering expanding your family, your family life will take precedence. This is a time for nurturing your connections and reinforcing the bonds that hold you together. Additionally, spiritual practices related to ancestors and family rituals will bring great benefits. Now is the time to build a solid foundation for your future, one rooted in love and family.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

Five/Two (TSA/RA): The Great Fiery Weapon

Subduing All Others by being Endowed

This sign is indicative of inner strength and the potential for triumph over your adversaries. There is power in destruction at this moment, so if you must confront enemies or challenges, do so with confidence. Your actions will meet with success, but it will come at a cost. Continually honour your spiritual protectors and engage in rituals to strengthen your defences. Be aware that activities involving earth and water may encounter difficulties during this time.
