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 3: 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.
The Western Tiles explore obstacles and solutions to strife caused by The Nucleus.
	West Wind: Metal The West Wind tile represents an obstacle that must be faced before you can make progress towards your goals. This obstacle may be anything from a person to needing to find work.
	Circles 7: 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.
	Wan 3: 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.
The Southern Tiles represent current and near-future influences that are affecting The Nucleus.
	Chrysanthemum: 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.
	Circles 2: Pine Tree The Pine Tree tile represents strength and resolve. It often refers to a powerful, determined man. While powerful, this person is not violent, but very skilled in attaining his goals through diplomacy.
	White Dragon: 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.
The Eastern Tiles are a composite of the factors in your personality that are influencing The Nucleus.
	Bamboo: Scholarship The Bamboo tile indicates an adaptable, useful spirit. The Bamboo tile is also associated with scholarly pursuits.
	Wan 5: House The House tile represents a building in which you spend much time. If your reading is positive it may well be that this building has the important function providing you with a stable environment in which you are comfortable. If the reading is negative it may represent a structure in which you are stressed and uncomfortable.
	Circles 9: 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.
The Northern Tiles indicate the outcome of the issue The Nucleus represents.
	Circles 3: Phoenix The Phoenix tile indicates great happiness and joy. The Phoenix is said to be reborn out its ashes. Accordingly, the Phoenix tile also denotes sure recovery from any setbacks encountered.
	Bamboo 8: 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.
	Wan 4: Lute The Lute tile indicates a need for relaxation: a break from the stress of your everyday life. For people nearing the end of their career it may suggest that the time for them to retire has come.
