Mahjong Readings: Reversed Compass - The celestial form.

The Nucleus represents the central issue the reading concerns. When interpreting your reading remember that the four sets of tiles surrounding The Nucleus relate to this issue in some way.

Red Dragon
Symbol: Center

The Red Dragon tile is indicative of success and the fulfillment of your goals.

The Western Tiles explore obstacles and solutions to strife caused by The Nucleus.

Wan 8
Symbol: Knot

The Knot tile represents both bonding and severing. If the Sword tile (2 Wan) is in your reading then the time to sever ties with someone or something is at hand. Conversely if the Duck tile (2 Bamboo) is in your reading then there is bond that will strengthen. If both or neither appear in your reading, then you have a relationship of some kind that is of undecided value.

Circles 1
Symbol: Pearl

The Pearl tile denotes the attainment of wealth and a life of luxury. The task will be to balance your spiritual self with your physical self.

Wan 1
Symbol: Entering

The Entering tile indicates that barriers you now face will soon be lifted. Opportunity and success are ahead, but you must have the courage and energy to take advantage of them.

The Southern Tiles represent current and near-future influences that are affecting The Nucleus.

Green Dragon
Symbol: Commence

The Green Dragon tile suggests the time has come for you to begin a new project, or take your life in a new direction.

Bamboo 5
Symbol: Lotus Flower

The Lotus Flower tile represents birth or rebirth. On a spiritual level it may indicate you are about to reach new heights in your understanding of your place in the cosmos. Physically it may suggest a child is coming, or a new project is about to emerge. The Lotus Flower tile also speaks of regeneration, and may indicate a time of recovery from hardship

South Wind
Symbol: Fire

The South Wind tile is considered to be a very good sign in a reading. It almost ensures a satisfactory end to any problem.

The Eastern Tiles are a composite of the factors in your personality that are influencing The Nucleus.

Circles 4
Symbol: Jade

The Jade tile indicates hard work resulting in spectacular results. Jade is thought to be an "immortal stone" to many. Therefore is also denotes longevity of relationships, life and principled values.

Circles 7
Symbol: Insect

The Insect tile indicates short-term gain through a short flurry of hectic work. It is important to realize that the gains the Insect tile offers are not lasting, or of long-term importance. At best they are a stopgap until more substantial goals come along.

Wan 9
Symbol: Heaven

The Heaven tile suggests completion. This tile denotes a time for you to consider moving on to your next goal.

The Northern Tiles indicate the outcome of the issue The Nucleus represents.

Bamboo 3
Symbol: Toad

The Toad tile indicates some troubling moments along your life's path, but these aches will heal. It also suggests your ambition may be greater than your reach.

Orchid
Symbol: Refinement

The Orchid tile suggests there may be rare and refined experiences coming into your life. Enjoy them!

Chrysanthemum
Symbol: Pleasure

The Chrysanthemum tile indicates you will enjoy a happy time filled with social activities and leisurely moments untainted by the demands of everyday life.
