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

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

Four/Six (NA/AH): The Golden Mountain

Firmly Holding Your Place

This domino represents a time of stability. Your ongoing projects are on track for success, and the energies around you are favourable for achieving long-term goals. However, there may be some delays in travel or changes to plans. This is a sign of solid progress in your current endeavours, but you may need to wait patiently for the next steps. If you are feeling the urge to move or make drastic changes, take a moment to reflect before acting, as staying grounded in the present will bring the best results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Five/One (TSA/DHI): The House of Good Tidings

Joyful News Arrives at the Summit of the Mountain

This sign is often called 'the wish-fulfilling tree', representing rapid growth and success. Any efforts involving communication, such as sending messages or receiving important news, will be met with favourable outcomes. It suggests that your goals can be achieved faster than expected, particularly when you focus on presenting your ideas or projects to others. The act of decoration, embellishment, or adding flair to your plans will enhance their impact, bringing positive recognition and results.

 

 

 

 

Current 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.

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

One/Blank (DHI/OM)

You stand at the threshold of a new phase in life, with a blank canvas awaiting your decisions. You are being offered the opportunity to shape your future. New energies and potential are available if you remain open and receptive. This is a time when your choices matter more than ever. Your actions now will have a lasting impact, so choose wisely and be mindful of the direction you set. The future is yours to create.
