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.
