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/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 Thoughts

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

Blank/Six (OM/AH)

The opportunities for material gain are becoming clear. New ventures and projects are on the horizon, and it's time for you to assess which of these options align with your long-term ambitions. You may have to make a difficult decision, but trust that the right choice will bring you closer to your goals. This is a time to take measured risks and seize opportunities that have the potential to provide both financial and personal rewards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Four/Three (NA/PA): The Overflowing Jewelled Vessel

The Good Field which Increases Happiness

This pair is known as 'the wish-fulfilling cow' and is a symbol of growth and happiness. However, it also suggests that a recent setback may have thrown you off course, possibly due to external negative influences. While it may seem like an evil spirit has interfered, these obstacles were necessary for your development. Sometimes, life presents challenges to prepare you for greater strides forward. Embrace the lesson of resilience, knowing that the detours were part of a larger, more beneficial journey.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

Six/Three (AH/PA): The Nectar Rays of the Moon

Good Dense Clouds

The sign of 'the Good Moon' represents light-heartedness and ease, suggesting that you will find success through enjoyment and simplicity. During this time, playful and light-hearted activities will flourish, but remember, force or manipulation will not bring results. Allow things to unfold naturally, without trying to exert too much control. This sign favours harmony, so approach situations with gentleness and openness. White-coloured objects, symbols of purity, are particularly auspicious during this time, aiding in your peaceful progress.

 

 

 

 

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.
