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

Saille

Tree/Plant: Willow
Kenning: ‘Sweeping Elegance’

The Willow bends but does not break. Saille teaches the mastery of emotion—the art of yielding without defeat. Here, grief is not an enemy but a river to be crossed, danced with, and honoured. Your feelings are powerful allies, not burdens. Dreamtime, prophecy, and creativity surge through the Willow’s domain. Trust your tears, your visions, your poetic instincts. They are the currents carrying you toward deeper wisdom.

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.’

2: Finance

Iphin

Tree/Plant: Gooseberry
Kenning: ‘The Tang of Life’

Iphin is the tart, the zing, the sudden clarity in the back of the throat. It is freshness through contrast. Change arrives like a sour wind—but it clears the air. You are invited into the bracing joy of truth, the bitter clarity that awakens. Let yourself be refreshed. Let the sting revive you.

Spiritual Lesson: Life stings—but it stings to wake you.
Reflective Question: What bitterness must I bless so it can become my medicine?
Affirmation: ‘I rise refreshed from the bite of truth.’

3: Mundane Life

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.’

4: Home

Eabhadh Blocked

Tree/Plant: Aspen
Kenning: ‘Stone of Memory’

When Eabhadh is blocked, you're drowning in ambiguity or paralysed by what can't be understood. But not all truths are meant to be solved—some are meant to be witnessed.

Spiritual Lesson: Some mysteries are meant to be honoured, not solved.
Reflective Question: What silence am I afraid to name?
Affirmation: ‘I honour the nameless and remember the unsaid.’

5: Fun Things

Gort Blocked

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

Blocked Ivy suffocates instead of survives. Are you holding onto dead things? Are you climbing structures that no longer serve you? Growth for its own sake is cancer. Attach wisely—or learn when to release.

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.’

6: Work

Muin Blocked

Tree/Plant: Vine
Kenning: ‘Binding of Intoxication’

Blocked Vine is clinging, addiction, or entanglement in illusions. Are you chasing connection so hard you’ve lost yourself? Beware false intoxications: relationships, substances, ideas that promise bliss but deliver bondage. Choose sacred connection over entrapment.

Spiritual Lesson: True connection uplifts; false ties consume.
Reflective Question: Where am I entangled in illusion?
Affirmation: ‘I choose sacred union, not bondage.’

7: Partners

Iodhadh Blocked

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

Blocked Yew is fear of endings so deep, it calcifies life itself. You cling to what's gone rotten rather than face the sacred unknown. Let death do its work. Let silence speak. New roots must drink from ancient soil.

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.’

8: Hidden Aspects

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.’

9: Higher Views

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.’

10: Reputation

Duir Blocked

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

Blocked Oak crumbles into tyranny or weakness. You may either dominate when you should lead, or abdicate when you should stand firm. Know the difference between stubborn pride and rightful authority. Strength unused is strength lost. Step up—or step aside.

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

Nion Blocked

Tree/Plant: Ash
Kenning: ‘World-Tree of the Ancestors’

When Ash is blocked, there is disconnection from purpose—an aimless, rootless drift. You may have forgotten who you are, or worse, whose shoulders you stand upon. Traditions misused become chains; traditions honoured become wings. Find your bloodline, your soul-line, your myth. Rebuild your bridge to the past to walk boldly into the future.

Spiritual Lesson: True growth demands humility before the unseen web of life.
Reflective Question: What legacy am I weaving with my daily choices?
Affirmation: ‘I walk the worlds rooted and crowned.’

12: Hopes and Fears

Luis Blocked

Tree/Plant: Rowan
Kenning: ‘Delight of the Eye’

When Luis is blocked, the eyes deceive, and the spirit grows porous. Trust given lightly is trust betrayed. Omens grow cloudy; intuition is warped by fear or yearning. The shield has cracks; unseen influences may leech through if vigilance is not restored. Test every vision against the flame of reason. Listen more to what is unsaid than what is proclaimed. Protection demands discernment as much as faith.

Spiritual Lesson: True insight demands patience, not desperation.
Reflective Question: Where am I mistaking wishful thinking for true intuition?
Affirmation: ‘My spirit sharpens to the truth.’
