Relationship Layout

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

This layout is easy to read, like a convenient chart. In this layout, court dominoes generally indicate actual people with the same characteristics. Knights (or corresponding princes, but not kings) and queens are meant to represent actual men and women in this layout. Look for patterns in the dominoes as always.

Domino #1 is the overall significator of the relationship. The two columns on either side of the significator characterise each individual's role in the relationship. The relationship does not have to be romantic. In fact, it could be a relationship between a person and a group, or even how two groups relate.

The top row, dominoes #7 & #2, is about the conscious thoughts of each person, or what they think about the relationship and likewise how they view their partner.

The middle row, dominoes #6 & #3, reveals the way each individual feels about the other. Emotional awareness corresponds to a person's unconscious thoughts that run deep, affecting a person in ways he or she is not fully aware of.

The bottom row, dominoes #5 & #4, represents the way each person behaves, in other words the stance taken regarding the relationship. The way a person acts may be genuine, but sometimes people are phony and manipulative, so it is best to weigh this domino against the other person's dominoes to determine how they match up.

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.

 

 

 

 

The Querent's 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.

 

 

 

 

The Other Person's Thoughts

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Querent's Emotions

One/Six (DHI/AH): Manjushri Appears

The Increasing of Wisdom and Accomplishment of Excellence

The presence of this domino signifies a divine intervention or guidance. Manjushri, the revered deity of wisdom and clarity, is making his presence known to you. This powerful sign calls for introspection and a commitment to finishing unresolved tasks or projects. By addressing and closing the chapters you've left open, you will unlock new opportunities for growth and success. Meditating on or visualizing Manjushri's wisdom will help guide you towards the right path, bringing clarity and progress. Complete what you started, and the rewards will follow.

 

 

 

 

The Other Person's Emotions

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

Increasing the Power of Air

Steady and careful work will pay off in the long run. Focus your efforts on consistent, thoughtful actions, and you will see positive results. Avoid distraction and impulsiveness, as these will only scatter your mental energy. Travel and giving are favourable, especially when you make offerings to natural spirits such as ancestors or trees. Performing your spiritual practices in new or different locations will also amplify their effect, helping you to establish a deeper connection to the energies around you.

 

 

 

 

The Querent's External Stance

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.

 

 

 

 

The Other Person's External Stance

One/One (DHI/DHI): The Jewelled Banner of Victory

Hoisting the Banner of Victory

The time is ripe to embark on new ventures and opportunities. Whatever you set your sights on now will be achieved, often surpassing even your highest expectations. This is a time for success and growth. Logical thinking and introspective meditation on your spiritual guide or deity will yield significant rewards. Partnerships and collaborations are favoured, so don't be afraid to join forces with others. Opportunities may seem too good to be true, but take the time to explore them before dismissing anything.
