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.
	Green Dragon Symbol: Commence The Green Dragon tile suggests the time has come for you to begin a new project, or take your life in a new direction.
The Western Tiles explore obstacles and solutions to strife caused by The Nucleus.
	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.
	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 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 Southern Tiles represent current and near-future influences that are affecting The Nucleus.
	Circles 3 Symbol: 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.
	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.
	Orchid Symbol: Refinement The Orchid tile suggests there may be rare and refined experiences coming into your life. Enjoy them!
The Eastern Tiles are a composite of the factors in your personality that are influencing The Nucleus.
	Circles 2 Symbol: 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.
	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.
	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.
The Northern Tiles indicate the outcome of the issue The Nucleus represents.
	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.
	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.
	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.
