The Nucleus represents the central issue the reading concerns. When interpreting your reading remember that the four sets of tiles surrounding The Nucleus relate to this issue in some way.
	Bamboo 5 Symbol: Lotus Flower The Lotus Flower tile represents birth or rebirth. On a spiritual level it may indicate you are about to reach new heights in your understanding of your place in the cosmos. Physically it may suggest a child is coming, or a new project is about to emerge. The Lotus Flower tile also speaks of regeneration, and may indicate a time of recovery from hardship: a new beginning.
The Western Tiles explore obstacles and solutions to strife caused by The Nucleus.
	Bamboo 4 Symbol: Carp The Carp tile indicates the attainment of inner-peace, tranquillity, and freedom from the pressures of everyday life. Contentment will be realized. The Carp's vibrant colours suggest a rich life. This may mean the coming of material and/or spiritual wealth.
	Orchid Symbol: Refinement The Orchid tile suggests there may be rare and refined experiences coming into your life. Enjoy them!
	South Wind Symbol: Fire The South Wind tile is considered to be a very good sign in a reading. It almost ensures a satisfactory end to any problem.
The Southern Tiles represent current and near-future influences that are affecting The Nucleus.
	Circles 9 Symbol: Unicorn The Unicorn tile indicates a clear vision of the future and the ability to see people for who they really are. In rare cases the Unicorn tile may suggest a person with psychic powers.
	Wan 3 Symbol: Land The Land tile suggests either a stable setting in which you are already thriving, or one that will exist in the near future. With stability your success and vision will grow.
	Chrysanthemum Symbol: Pleasure The Chrysanthemum tile indicates you will enjoy a happy time filled with social activities and leisurely moments untainted by the demands of everyday life.
The Eastern Tiles are a composite of the factors in your personality that are influencing The Nucleus.
	Circles 7 Symbol: Insect The Insect tile indicates short-term gain through a short flurry of hectic work. It is important to realize that the gains the Insect tile offers are not lasting, or of long-term importance. At best they are a stopgap until more substantial goals come along.
	Red Dragon Symbol: Centre The Red Dragon tile is indicative of success and the fulfilment of your goals.
	Bamboo 1 Symbol: Peacock This is the first tile of the first suit in a Mah-jong set. Overall, it represents success. However, it also warns that success sometimes turns to arrogance, which can lead to loss of everything that has been gained. The Peacock tile also suggests a change in your life path is forthcoming.
The Northern Tiles indicate the outcome of the issue The Nucleus represents.
	Bamboo 8 Symbol: Mushroom The Mushroom tile represents eternal life and oddity. It gets these attributes from the fact that mushrooms in nature always seem to regenerate and often popup where they are unexpected. The notion of oddity is derived from the mushroom seemingly having the nature of a plant, but lacking leaves. The Mushroom tile foretells the coming of unexpected events that will have a lasting impact on you.
	Circles 8 Symbol: White Tiger The White Tiger tile epitomizes masculinity in its purest form. The male represented by the White Tiger is brave and assertive. He will fight to protect what he feels is right.
	Summer Symbol: The Woodcutter The Woodcutter employs three of the 5 elements central to Chinese philosophy: Fire, Wood and Metal. He is ambitious and full of drive and energy. He represents gain and success through dedicated work.
