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

Eabhadh

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

Eabhadh is mystery incarnate—the glyph that marks death, silence, or what cannot be said. It is the absence that still speaks. You are in a liminal space now: between known and unknown, voice and silence, life and the afterlife of meaning. Mark this moment. It matters more than it can ever explain itself.

• 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.’

 

 

 

2: Finance

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.’

 

 

 

3: Mundane Life

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.’

 

 

 

4: Home

Onn

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

Gorse blazes golden on barren land. It teaches that abundance can be summoned even from wastelands. Creativity, sexuality, and prosperity burn bright if tended. Onn invites you to stoke the fire: light your desires without shame. Plant the seeds of future harvests with daring and joy.

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5: Fun Things

Coll Blocked

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

Blocked Hazel creates confusion, ignorance, or misuse of knowledge. Perhaps you seek easy answers where there are none, or hoard knowledge without application. Wisdom is not merely knowing; it is knowing when, and how, and why. Choose discernment over cleverness.

• 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.’

 

 

 

6: Work

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.’

 

 

 

7: Partners

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.’

 

 

 

8: Hidden Aspects

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.’

 

 

 

9: Higher Views

Émancholl

• Tree/Plant: Double Hazel / ‘Lover’s Vine’
• Kenning: ‘The Sacred Pair’

Émancholl is duality in harmony: the sacred twin, the mirror, the double thread. This glyph speaks to powerful relationships—those that complete you, challenge you, transform you. Be it a person, a dream, or a path, what you are entwined with now is sacred. Tend it. Honour the tension. Let it make you whole.

• Spiritual Lesson: True connection is mutual transformation.
• Reflective Question: What relationship calls me to become more than myself?
• Affirmation: ‘I grow through sacred union.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10: Reputation

Ur Blocked

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

Blocked Heather is escapism, false hope, or emotional dissociation. Dreams without grounding become fantasy. Tend your dreams like gardens, not castles in the air. Hope is sacred—not to be wasted on illusions.

• 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.’

 

 

 

11: Friends

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.’

 

 

12: Hopes and Fears

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.’
