Similar to the Horse Shoe #1, this variant provides insight on different levels. The first two tiles begin the reading with the past and present, but then the tiles switch to a different focus. Tile #3 warns you about possible side effects that could accompany the future outcome, #7. The base tile, #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 Tile #6, another more specifically focused tile than what is generally labelled the obstacle or challenge tile in some other layouts.

The Seven Stars tile indicates imagination, creativity, and inspiration. This is the time to apply your creativity, to let your imagination run wild. You are the creator of your own future.
The Phoenix is a sign of great splendour and good feelings. Reborn out of the ashes, this sign represents rebirth, new discoveries, awakenings, healings, regeneration, and epiphany. A powerful recovery is suggested.
The Fire tile stands for inspiration, passion, and intelligence, but also warns of the potential great danger. To not heed the warning from this tile could result in disaster beyond your wildest imagination. Keep an eye on your resources. This tile indicates they may be in jeopardy.
