The Astrological Layout

Three Pyramids 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

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.’

 

 

 

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

Nion

  • Tree/Plant: Ash
  • Kenning: ‘World-Tree of the Ancestors’
Ash roots into the underworld and crowns into the heavens. Nion is the ladder between realms—initiation, connection, growth beyond the self. You are called to think larger: your actions ripple beyond your little life. A decision made today weaves into the bones of your descendants. Rise into responsibility. Carry the vision of the ancestors with you, but blaze new trails they could only dream of.

  • 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.’

 

 

 

4: Home

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.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5: Fun Things

Ór Blocked

  • Tree/Plant: Spindle Tree
  • Kenning: ‘Weaver’s Gold’
When Ór is blocked, you weave chaos or refuse the loom entirely. Inaction and distraction are just as dangerous as the wrong actions. Choose the thread. Begin the weave. The future waits to be dressed.

  • 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.’

 

 

 

6: Work

Muin

  • Tree/Plant: Vine
  • Kenning: ‘Binding of Intoxication’
Muin winds and weaves, bringing sweetness and sacred intoxication. It reminds you that connection can be heady—friendships, love, spiritual ecstasy. Embrace emotional entanglement without losing yourself. Trust the dance of give and take. Sacred intoxication frees the soul; debasement chains it.

  • 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

Ngetal Blocked

  • Tree/Plant: Reed
  • Kenning: ‘Voice of the Waters’
Blocked Reed creates noise instead of music. Are your words sowing confusion? Are you shouting when you should be silent? Miscommunication can rot trust quickly. Return to simplicity. Speak from the quiet place inside, not the ego’s storm.

  • 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

Uilleann

  • Tree/Plant: Honeysuckle
  • Kenning: ‘Hidden Sweetness’
Uilleann wraps and winds—sweetness found not in plain sight, but in spirals. This is the glyph of unseen blessings and secret pathways. Trust the detour. Trust the fragrance that pulls at your soul. Follow what draws you, not what shouts at you. Life’s richest nectar is rarely on the main road.

  • 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.’

 

 

 

9: Higher Views

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.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10: Reputation

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.’

 

 

 

11: Friends

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.’

 

 

12: Hopes and Fears

Ur

  • 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.’
