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.
	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 Western Tiles explore obstacles and solutions to strife caused by 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.
	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.
	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.
The Southern Tiles represent current and near-future influences that are affecting The Nucleus.
	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.
	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 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.
The Eastern Tiles are a composite of the factors in your personality that are influencing The Nucleus.
	Wan 2 Symbol: Sword The Sword tile indicates a decision must be made before attainment of your goals can be reached.
	Orchid Symbol: Refinement The Orchid tile suggests there may be rare and refined experiences coming into your life. Enjoy them!
	White Dragon Symbol: 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 Northern Tiles indicate the outcome of the issue The Nucleus represents.
	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.
	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.
