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

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.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

Four/Two (NA/RA): The Demon of the Heavenly Son

The Believers of the Deceiver Suffer

A bad omen of instability surrounds you, and obstacles are blocking your progress. There may be unseen forces or adversaries causing disruption, particularly through items you've acquired—such as a red or triangular object that might be holding negative energy. A person in the western direction may be contributing to these challenges. Be cautious of your environment and the people around you, as their intentions may not be aligned with your goals. Focus on clearing obstacles and protecting yourself spiritually.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

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

The Path of Safe Travel

This is a time of good fortune, and your plans are set to come to fruition. Positive news is on the way, and you will see progress towards your goals. However, be cautious about trusting promises made by others—now is a time when external advice or promises may not align with your needs or desires. Trust your own instincts and inner guidance as you continue on your path. Only you can determine what is right for you, and now is the time to take ownership of your future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Three/Five (TSA/PA): The Demon of Afflictions

The Boiling Agitation

A turbulent sign, this pairing indicates significant emotional unrest and the threat of external disruptions, such as enemies or legal battles. You feel attacked, whether by malicious gossip, deceit, or even black magic. The source of this disturbance lies in negative, combative energy—perhaps stemming from quarrels or environments where negativity breeds. Now is the time to confront these sources, address conflicts, and settle unresolved disputes. You must also channel your negative emotions into positive action. Performing rituals such as creating yellow clay stupas or honouring sacred deities will help restore balance and ward off further harm.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

Two/One (RA/DHI): The Door of Auspicious Visions

Advice from a Benevolent Friend

The wisdom of the universe is now opening up to you. This is a sign that a friend's advice will prove invaluable. Trust in the guidance of those around you, and you will benefit greatly from their insight. Rituals for divination and spiritual seeking will also be fruitful at this time. Your path is clear—follow the advice of those trying to help you.

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

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.
