Similar to the Horse Shoe #1, this variant provides insight on different levels. The first two dominoes begin the reading with the past and present, but then the dominoes switch to a different focus. Card #3 warns you about possible side effects that could accompany the future outcome, #7. The base domino, #4 shows desirable or undesirable actions to take concerning the issue. The external environment specifically means the people around you and how they feel about what you are up to. Things which could cause setbacks are indicated in Card #6, another more specifically focused domino than what is generally labelled the obstacle or challenge domino in some other layouts.

The sign of the Golden Lotus or 'the unploughed harvest' indicates success in your aims. It may take a little time, but things will get better and better if you address your spiritual self now. You may even want to consider mentoring someone; share your experience and open your heart to those who need guidance.
This is a bad omen of instability and obstruction. There is danger from enemies and evil spirits. A red article or triangular object you have acquired may be causing you harm. A person in the western direction may be responsible. Obstacles are blocking your success. Only evil activities have good prospects for success.
Steady work will accomplish much, especially if performed quickly. It is difficult to predict beyond this, except that air activities such as sending letters or news are not favoured. Fiery activities are preferred.
Matters of property, life, friends, and family are unfavourable. There are great obstacles that you need to focus on subverting. You may have been given a yellow article or a type of square object with earth spirits and local spirits that are harming you.
If you work steadily and carefully, the results will be good. Avoid fickle thoughts which dissipate mental energies. Travel and giving will be beneficial. Offerings to natural spirits such as ancestors and trees is beneficial, and performance of spiritual practices will have a heightened effect if not performed at their regular location.
Allow your feelings and passions to guide you. Do not allow your emotions to take a back seat to your intellect at this time. Explore your deepest feelings about every aspect of your life and act to ease any lingering negativity. Peaceful activities and purification rituals are beneficial. Destructive works will not succeed.
This domino is like a personal visit from the chief deity governing MO divination. A visit from Manjushri himself is the most awesome sign of them all. Your goals will certainly be achieved if you heed his advice and choose to tie up loose ends. The completion of old projects that you have left unfinished will be highly beneficial. Visualising and meditating on Manjushri is highly recommended.
