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

Tinne

• Tree/Plant: Holly
• Kenning: ‘Warrior’s Crown’

Tinne, the battle tree, grants you the armour of spirit. Now is the time for honourable combat—whether internal or external. Holly speaks to inner resilience, self-defence, and strategic action. You are not called to start wars, but to win them if they come. Focus your energy. Fight for what feeds your soul, not your vanity.

• Spiritual Lesson: Victory is hollow without a worthy cause.
• Reflective Question: What is truly worth fighting for now?
• Affirmation: ‘I wear the crown of sacred battle.’

 

 

 

2: Finance

Luis

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

The Rowan stands at the crossroads, its scarlet berries a shield against dark enchantments. Luis grants the seer’s sight—flashes of truth glimmer through the fog. Dreams grow sharper; omens clearer. Not all that you see will be comfortable, but all will be true. Trust the tugs at your spine, the sudden chill when someone speaks untruth. Your soul is attuned to warnings others miss. Listen, and you will pass safely.

• 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.’

 

 

 

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

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.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5: Fun Things

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.’

 

 

 

6: Work

Onn Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Gorse
• Kenning: ‘Flame of Fertility’

Blocked Gorse burns out of control or gutters to ash. Lust without love, ambition without honour—these are false flames. Don't waste your fire chasing mirages. Let your passions be sacred, not consuming.

• Spiritual Lesson: Sacred fire creates; false fire consumes.
• Reflective Question: Where does my fire want to bloom?
• Affirmation: ‘I blaze the barren into bloom.’

 

 

 

7: Partners

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.’

 

 

 

8: Hidden Aspects

Eadha Blocked

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

Blocked Aspen freezes in terror or arrogance. Do you hide from necessary risks? Or charge recklessly to drown out your fears? True courage honours fear without surrendering to it. Feel it. Face it. Then walk through it.

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

 

 

 

9: Higher Views

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.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10: Reputation

Beith

• Tree/Plant: Birch
• Kenning: ‘Brightest of Trees’

The path clears before you, washed clean by the rains of old griefs. Beith marks the sacred threshold: a pure beginning, unburdened by yesterday’s debris. You are given leave to start again—with clarity, with lightness. This is the white bark of renewal, sacred to Druids as the tree of purification and rebirth. You are called to honour your beginning without apology, even if it feels fragile. Innocence is not weakness. Every ancient forest was once a single trembling sapling.

• Spiritual Lesson: Purification requires surrender; beginnings require mourning.
• Reflective Question: What old story must I finally lay to rest to allow my rebirth?
• Affirmation: ‘I welcome the purity of the unknown.’

 

 

 

11: Friends

Quert

• Tree/Plant: Apple
• Kenning: ‘Fruit of the Otherworld’

Quert is the sweet fruit hanging just beyond reach, the Otherworld’s promise of abundance, beauty, and healing. You are called to enjoy life's sweetness without shame or fear. Taste joy fully, live fully, love fully. Gifts are meant to be accepted. Pleasure, properly honoured, is a spiritual act.

• Spiritual Lesson: True abundance is joyful, generous, and reverent.
• Reflective Question: Where am I denying myself the blessings of life?
• Affirmation: ‘I taste joy without fear.’

 

 

12: Hopes and Fears

Uilleann Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Honeysuckle
• Kenning: ‘Hidden Sweetness’

Blocked Uilleann is distraction disguised as sweetness. Are you chasing illusions because they smell nice? Or are you ignoring the real treasures underfoot? The sweetness you seek is real—but you must seek with the right senses.

• Spiritual Lesson: Not all that tempts is treasure—but real treasure rarely announces itself.
• Reflective Question: What unseen blessing have I ignored?
• Affirmation: ‘I follow sweetness hidden in shadow.’
