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.

 

Circles 6

The Peach stands for feminine beauty, extravagance, and unfortunately indolence. It means femininity in general, and more specifically suggests that a particular woman is a factor in this reading.

 

 

 

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

 

Bamboo 4

The Carp signifies peace, contentment, tranquillity, and freedom from the pressures of everyday life. The tile's vibrant colours symbolise a gain of material and/or spiritual wealth.

 

 

 

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

 

Bamboo 1

The first tile of the mah-jong set represents success in general. At the same time the "peacock" also warns that success can lead to egotism and arrogance. A positive change in your life path is foretold.

 

 

 

Obstacle - This is the challenge.

 

South Wind

The South Wind tile is a particularly favourable sign. It foretells an end to problems allowing for new progress.

Red, summer, fire, phoenix

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

Spring

The Fisherman symbolises common sense and the rewards that come with patience. Do not simply sit back and expect things to fall into your lap. Instead, this tile suggests that you bait the hook and cast your line before sitting back. Have a beer if you like.

 

 

 

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.

 

East Wind

The East Wind tile represents you. Tiles adjacent to the East tile in a reading should be given added weight.

Green, spring, wood, dragon
