The Four Courses reading presents possible paths for the querent to take to reach a more complete
state of being. While all paths may offer a degree of fulfillment, usually one will be more fruitful than the others. The
trick of course, is to pick the one that will bring most beneficial results. Scroll down to learn the influence of each Mahjong Tile.
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.
Northern Course
North Wind Symbol: Water The North Wind tile indicates there will be difficult moments ahead. These can be canceled out if the South Wind Tile is in your reading as well.
Eastern Course
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.
Southern Course
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.
Western Course
Wan 4 Symbol: Lute The Lute tile indicates a need for relaxation—a break from the stress of your everyday life. For people nearing the end of their career it may suggest that the time for them to retire has come.
