The Astrological Layout

Difficulty: Complicated

The Astrological layout is based upon houses of astrology. This complicated layout takes several steps to understand.

The first step is to interpret the oghams for each individual position in the layout.

The second step involves further examination of the main axes. Positions 1 & 7 show the relationship theme, #1 representing the reader, #7 their partner. Positions 4 & 10 indicate motion. #4 indicates where the reader is now, and #10 suggests what they are moving towards.

The third step involves breaking down the chart into triads according to their house elements.

Positions 1, 5, & 9 represent the Fire triad, symbolising temperament and personal development.

Positions 2, 6, & 10 represent the Earth triad, concerned with materialism, money, and work.

Positions 3, 7, & 11 represent the Air triad, which has to do with thoughts, ideas, and connections with other people.

Positions 4, 8, & 12 represent the Water triad, the realm of emotions, moods, intuition, and yearnings.

Further, other patterns and correlations between certain numbers can be noted. Certain numbers such as the set of 5, 7, & 8 often speak about a particular theme.

1: Basic Mood

Gort

Tree/Plant: Ivy
Kenning: ‘Tenacity of the Green Path’

Ivy is persistence incarnate. It climbs, winds, and survives where others perish. Gort urges you to endure, adapt, and climb steadily toward your light. Tenacity, not brute strength, wins the marathon of life. Let your spirit be evergreen, no matter how dark the stone you cling to.

Spiritual Lesson: Persistence must serve true growth.
Reflective Question: What am I climbing toward—and is it worth it?
Affirmation: ‘I cling to the light that feeds me.’

2: Finance

Tree/Plant: Heather
Kenning: ‘Flower of Dreams’

Heather carpets the wild hills, a dreamscape of resilience and mystery. Ur asks you to trust in subtle magic: quiet dreams, soft longings, secret hopes. Nourish them patiently. Some dreams need slow seasons to grow before they break into bloom.

Spiritual Lesson: Dreams demand roots as much as wings.
Reflective Question: What fragile dream do I need to protect and nourish?
Affirmation: ‘I dream with rooted hope.’

3: Mundane Life

Ailm Blocked

Tree/Plant: Silver Fir
Kenning: ‘Pillar of Resilience’

Blocked Fir falls into rigidity or despair. Are you standing so firm that you refuse to bend when you must? Are you pretending strength while hollow inside? Adaptability strengthens resilience. Stay alive to yourself—not frozen.

Spiritual Lesson: True resilience bends without breaking.
Reflective Question: What inner root keeps me alive through winter?
Affirmation: ‘I endure, evergreen and steadfast.’

4: Home

Eadha

Tree/Plant: Aspen
Kenning: ‘Shield of Courage’

Aspen trembles, but does not break. Its quivering leaves are a badge of bravery, not fear. Eadha reminds you that courage doesn’t mean fearlessness—it means motion through fear. Shake if you must. Just move anyway.

Spiritual Lesson: Courage is trembling action.
Reflective Question: What fear am I called to face and outgrow?
Affirmation: ‘I tremble, but I move.’

5: Fun Things

Iodhadh

Tree/Plant: Yew
Kenning: ‘Tree of Death and Continuity’

Iodhadh, the ancient Yew, stands at the boundary of death and eternal return. Its poisonous berries and immortal trunk whisper the riddle of endings that never end. You are not merely ending—you are cycling into something older, deeper. This is not a death; it is a deepening. Honour the transformation that does not ask for permission.

Spiritual Lesson: Death is not the end—it is the sacred beginning beneath all beginnings.
Reflective Question: What am I clinging to that refuses to die cleanly?
Affirmation: ‘I descend to rise.’

6: Work

Ór

Tree/Plant: Spindle Tree
Kenning: ‘Weaver’s Gold’

Ór is the thread that weaves fate. Spindle wood was used to craft tools that spin—and so too do you spin destiny now, strand by strand. This glyph teaches prosperity through precision, elegance through focused intention. What you spin now will clothe your future. Choose your pattern with care.

Spiritual Lesson: Destiny is not found—it is crafted.
Reflective Question: What thread must I pick up now, even if it scares me?
Affirmation: ‘I spin my future with sacred hands.’

7: Partners

Ngetal

Tree/Plant: Reed
Kenning: ‘Voice of the Waters’

Reed sings in the marshes—a simple stalk, yet a carrier of songs and messages. Ngetal reminds you that true communication is born of humility and clarity. Speak, but also listen. Your voice can guide or heal, if you align it with spirit. Let your truth ripple across the waters.

Spiritual Lesson: The purest messages are the simplest.
Reflective Question: What truth needs my voice right now?
Affirmation: ‘I am the voice of clear waters.’

8: Hidden Aspects

Fearn Blocked

Tree/Plant: Alder
Kenning: ‘Shield of the Warriors’

When Alder is blocked, the call to act becomes a coward’s retreat or a reckless charge. You may be standing in the wrong battle, wasting blood for pride. Or worse, refusing a battle that desperately needs your presence. Beware false peace. Some bridges must be burned before the right ones can be built. Know what you are fighting for—and what you are willing to surrender.

Spiritual Lesson: Strength is found not in stubbornness, but in sacred resilience.
Reflective Question: What cause truly deserves my courage right now?
Affirmation: ‘I am the bridge and the battleground.’

9: Higher Views

Coll

Tree/Plant: Hazel
Kenning: ‘Wellspring of Wisdom’

Hazel stands by the sacred well where wisdom bubbles up from hidden places. Coll invites you to drink deeply—from study, from dreams, from ancestral knowledge. Insight will not shout; it whispers. Pay attention to the soft signs, the tiny openings. Small epiphanies now will shape the great revolutions of your life.

Spiritual Lesson: Wisdom must be lived, not stored.
Reflective Question: What hidden knowledge am I being invited to embrace?
Affirmation: ‘I drink from the sacred well.’

10: Reputation

Duir

Tree/Plant: Oak
Kenning: ‘Door to Strength’

The Oak stands unshaken through storms. Duir is the threshold of endurance, power, and sacred kingship. You are asked to hold fast—not just stubbornly, but with righteous clarity. Lead where you must. Take the seat of responsibility you’ve earned. The door is open to those who dare to claim their place in the order of things.

Spiritual Lesson: Power without purpose is decay.
Reflective Question: Where must I claim authority—or surrender pride?
Affirmation: ‘I am the door that withstands all storms.’

11: Friends

Ruis

Tree/Plant: Elder
Kenning: ‘Death’s Gateway’

Elder stands at the threshold of endings and beginnings. Ruis calls you to sacred surrender: mourn, release, and prepare to be reborn. Transformation is not gentle; it strips you down. Accept the death of what must fall away. Only then can the new roots find soil.

Spiritual Lesson: True rebirth demands true mourning.
Reflective Question: What am I still carrying that must be laid to rest?
Affirmation: ‘I bless the ending and welcome the new.’

12: Hopes and Fears

Saille Blocked

Tree/Plant: Willow
Kenning: ‘Sweeping Elegance’

Saille blocked is a dammed river—emotions swell, distort, and may burst destructively. You may cling to numbness, or become imprisoned by nostalgia and mourning. Let it move. What you suppress becomes the flood that drowns you. What you grieve becomes the seed of your rebirth. Surrender is not weakness; it is navigation.

Spiritual Lesson: Mastery of emotion is achieved through movement, not denial.
Reflective Question: Where am I refusing to let grief or inspiration flow?
Affirmation: ‘I bend; I do not break.’
