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

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 Thoughts

Two/Blank (RA/OM)

The energy around you is ripe for growth. This is a time for personal expansion—spiritually, emotionally, and materially. You have the potential to achieve great things, but the onus is on you to make the most of it. Take the time to explore all the opportunities before you, whether they are of a spiritual nature or relate to material success. Now is the time to take action, invest in your growth, and move towards your true potential.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

Three/One (PA/DHI): The Nectar-like Medicine

Similar Goodness

This is a time of healing and recovery. Any maleficent forces that have been holding you back are now gone. Your ailments, whether physical or emotional, will soon subside, and the plans you've been working on will start to bear fruit. This is a good omen—things are turning in your favour.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

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.

 

 

 

 

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/Four (TSA/NA): The Mara Demon of Aggregates

Being Oppressed by a Mountain

This sign reflects difficulties in the areas of property, relationships, and family matters. Strong obstacles are in your path, and now is the time to subvert these challenges. There may be a specific object, such as a yellow item or a square object linked to earth spirits, negatively affecting your life. Investigate the energies surrounding you and eliminate anything contributing to your misfortune. Stay focused on overcoming these hurdles with calm determination, for success lies in how you handle adversity.
