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.
	Wan 7 Symbol: Seven Stars The Seven Stars tile signifies creative growth and power. Creativity should be applied to the area this tile appears. This is a place to let your imagination run free. The Seven Stars tile also indicates hope for the future.
The Western Tiles explore obstacles and solutions to strife caused by The Nucleus.
	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.
	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 5 Symbol: 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.
The Southern Tiles represent current and near-future influences that are affecting The Nucleus.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	Wan 4 Symbol: 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.
	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.
The Northern Tiles indicate the outcome of the issue The Nucleus represents.
	Wan 1 Symbol: Entering The Entering tile indicates that barriers you now face will soon be lifted. Opportunity and success are ahead, but you must have the courage and energy to take advantage of them.
	West Wind Symbol: 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 4 Symbol: Jade The Jade tile indicates hard work resulting in spectacular results. Jade is thought to be an "immortal stone" to many. Therefore, is also denotes longevity of relationships, life and principled values.
