Horse Shoe Layout #1

 

The seven-card Horse Shoe is a convenient, basic layout that can be used to answer different types of questions, especially concerning questions where insight would be helpful. Like several other layouts, it has tiles representing the past, present, and future.

The pinnacle of the Horse Shoe, looking like the top of the mountain, shows the obstacle or challenge that needs to be addressed and overcome. Tile #6 suggests a course of action to meet this challenge. The final tile shows the outcome or future, should this advice be followed.

Other clues are provided in Tiles #3 and #5, which indicate hidden or outside influences that come into play, affecting the journey to your goal.

The Past Tile represents past events that are affecting the question.

 

North Wind

The North Wind tile warns that you may hit a rough patch in your journey. Be watchful and you can navigate this bump in the road without losing much. If the South Wind is also present, this tile will be nullified.

Black, winter, water, tortoise

 

 

 

The Present Tile represents the current state or immediately approaching influence.

 

Bamboo 5

The Lotus flower represents fertility and more specifically birth. It may indicate an addition to the family or perhaps a new project to occupy your days. This is also a symbol of healing and constant regeneration, also self-sufficiency.

 

 

 

Hidden Influences - Things that you may not be aware of, or barely be aware of.

 

West Wind

The West Wind tile signifies some kind of obstacle blocking your path that must be overcome before you can make true progress.

White, autumn, metal, tiger

 

 

 

Obstacle - This is the challenge.

 

Fall

The harvest depends upon the effort you put in. The Farmer represents massive gains through hard work and dedication. It is a sign of self-sufficiency, abundance, and generosity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

External Influences - Attitudes about this situation from people around the querent.

 

Wan 2

The Sword stands for an important decision you will need to make. You must be careful to use balance as you weigh your decision, or risk damage to yourself if not others.

 

 

 

Suggestion - The recommended course of action.�

 

Wan 8

The Knot tile stands for both tying and setting loose. If this tile appears in the reading with the Sword tile (2 Wan), it suggests that the time to sever your connection to someone or something has arrived. However, if the Duck tile (2 Bamboo) is in this reading, this indicates the strengthening of an existing bond.

 

 

 

The Outcome - What will happen if the suggestion is followed.

 

Circles 9

The Unicorn means foresight and prophecy. It suggests a visionary with "psychic" abilities, one who is strongly connected to the spiritual source. It suggests the ability to quickly size up individuals and situations intuitively. A symbol of wisdom.
