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.

 
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 Western Tiles explore obstacles and solutions to strife caused by The Nucleus.

 
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 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.

 

 


 
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.

 

 

The Southern Tiles represent current and near-future influences that are affecting The Nucleus.

 
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.

 

 


 
North Wind
Symbol: Water

The North Wind tile indicates there will be difficult moments ahead. These can be cancelled out if the South Wind Tile is in your reading as well.

 

 


 
Bamboo 2
Symbol: Duck

The Duck tile symbolizes a long lasting relationship with the strength to overcome all obstacles. It suggests fidelity and trustworthiness as well. Regardless of the type of partnership in question, the 2 Bamboo tile indicates a strong, healthy relationship.

 

 

The Eastern Tiles are a composite of the factors in your personality that are influencing The Nucleus.

 
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.

 

 


 
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.

 

 


 
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.

 

 

The Northern Tiles indicate the outcome of the issue The Nucleus represents.

 
Bamboo 4
Symbol: Carp

The Carp tile indicates the attainment of inner-peace, tranquillity, and freedom from the pressures of everyday life. Contentment will be realized. The Carp's vibrant colours suggest a rich life. This may mean the coming of material and/or spiritual wealth.

 

 


 
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.
