The Northern Tiles	The Nucleus	The Southern Tiles
The Eastern Tiles


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.
	East Wind Symbol: Wood Generally the East Wind tile represents the querent. The tiles nearest the East tile in a reading have added importance.
The Western Tiles explore obstacles and solutions to strife caused by The Nucleus.
	Wan 8 Symbol: Knot The Knot tile represents both bonding and severing. If the Sword tile (2 Wan) is in your reading then the time to sever ties with someone or something is at hand. Conversely if the Duck tile (2 Bamboo) is in your reading then there is bond that will strengthen. If both or neither appear in your reading, then you have a relationship of some kind that is of undecided value.
	Bamboo 9 Symbol: Willow Tree The Willow Tree tile represents adaptability and survival in the face of harsh conditions. The Willow bends before the bitter winter winds, but does not break. The Willow tile suggests compromise. You must be willing to give some to get some.
	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.
The Southern Tiles represent current and near-future influences that are affecting The Nucleus.
	Wan 9 Symbol: Heaven The Heaven tile suggests completion. This tile denotes a time for you to consider moving on to your next goal.
	White Dragon Symbol: The Unknown The White Dragon tile denotes unknown factors in your reading. Exactly what these factors are is beyond our vision, but they will have an impact on your life.
	Red Dragon Symbol: Centre The Red Dragon tile is indicative of success and the fulfilment of your goals.
The Eastern Tiles are a composite of the factors in your personality that are influencing The Nucleus.
	Bamboo 3 Symbol: Toad The Toad tile indicates some troubling moments along your life's path, but these aches will heal. It also suggests your ambition may be greater than your reach.
	Circles 5 Symbol: Dragon The Dragon tile indicates good luck and large fortunes. Effort is not a prerequisite for the gain suggested by the Dragon tile. You cannot work towards acquiring the Dragon's gifts. They will come when they come, and will most likely be a surprise.
	Plum Blossom Symbol: Innocence The Plum tile reflects renewal and viewing your world with fresh viewpoints. It is an inherently 'happy' tile. The Plum tile also suggests inexperience: a trait you must not allow to make you an easy target.
The Northern Tiles indicate the outcome of the issue The Nucleus represents.
	Circles 1 Symbol: Pearl The Pearl tile denotes the attainment of wealth and a life of luxury. The task will be to balance your spiritual self with your physical self.
	Orchid Symbol: Refinement The Orchid tile suggests there may be rare and refined experiences coming into your life. Enjoy them!
	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.
