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.
	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.
The Western Tiles explore obstacles and solutions to strife caused by The Nucleus.
	Bamboo 6 Symbol: Water The Water tile denotes a need for communication. A trip may be necessary to communicate properly. You may be called upon to present proof of ownership or that an event actually took place.
	Circles 6 Symbol: Peach The Peach tile represents the female spirit in its purest form. Where the Peach tile appears, it is likely a woman or possibly a young girl will play an important role in outcome of your reading.
	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.
	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.
	Fall Symbol: The Farmer The Farmer represents rewards gained through hard work and faith in oneself. He harvests riches from the planting and nurturing of his crops.
	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 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.
	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.
	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.
The Northern Tiles indicate the outcome of the issue The Nucleus represents.
	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.
	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.
	Winter Symbol: The Scholar The Scholar represents gain through intellectual pursuits. The Scholar's mind is sharp and find solutions to the most difficult problems.
