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/Six (PA/AH): The Vase of Nectar

Turbulent Activities Involving Benevolent People

The Three/Six combination encourages you to follow your heart and emotions. Do not suppress your feelings, as they are powerful guides towards resolution. It is essential to honour your emotional landscape during this time, as suppressing emotions will only lead to deeper confusion. Engaging in peaceful activities such as meditation, healing rituals, or personal reflection will provide the clarity you seek. Avoid destructive actions, as they will not yield any positive outcomes. Let your emotions guide you towards healing and resolution.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

Three/Two (PA/RA): The Pool without a Source of Water

Decreasing Happiness

This sign reflects a time of stagnation, where progress feels blocked or delayed. Like a river that stops flowing when its source is dammed, your connection to higher guidance has been interrupted, and your actions may feel directionless or ineffective. This could be due to external distractions or internal conflicts clouding your intentions. A spiritual cleanse or reconnection to your faith and beliefs will help to clear this blockage and realign your path.

 

 

 

 

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

Four/Four (NA/NA): The Mansion of Gold

Placing One Great Thing upon Another Great Thing

This is an extraordinarily favourable sign of prosperity and abundance. Wealth and resources will flow into your life, and your projects will meet with success. This period is ripe for rituals involving earth energies and wealth creation, such as the construction of stupas, shrines, or offerings of gratitude. The abundance you experience will extend to your material world, but be cautious: any efforts focused on destruction or negative energy will not yield favourable outcomes. Additionally, be prepared for delays in travel or the shifting of plans; patience is key, as the universe works in its own timing.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

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.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

Four/Blank (NA/OM)

This domino serves as a reminder that you will reap what you sow. While you may feel the urge to focus solely on your own needs and desires, it is important to consider the broader implications of your actions. Greed and self-centeredness will only isolate you and lead to unhappiness, no matter how much wealth you amass. Cultivate generosity, humility, and compassion, and the rewards will be far greater than anything material wealth can offer.

 

 

 

 

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.
