Domino Divination
by Lilith Silverhair
Most of us have a set of dominoes around the house. Few people know,
though, that dominoes were used as a divination tool in China as far
back as the twelfth century BC. Back then, there were thirty-two tiles
and the dots were both red and black. By the end of the eighteenth
century, dominoes had gotten as far as England, and the colored dots
were dropped and the blank tiles added. Today's sets consist of
twenty-eight tiles, in pairs from blank/blank to six/six. Here is a
simple method of domino divination and interpretation for the tiles.
Divination Method
Lay the dominoes face down on the table in front of you. Concentrate on
your question for a moment before selecting the three or four tiles that
speak to you from the set. Interpret them according to the list below.
Domino Interpretations
Blank/Blank: Trouble ahead, perhaps sorrow in love, a lost job, an
accident, or loss of personal property.
One/Blank: Your health will improve. Be careful not to waste money or
other valuable resources. A visitor arrives from over the water.
One/One: Parents and family offer happiness and support. A courageous
decision needs to be made.
Two/Blank: Your upcoming trip goes well, and communications and sales
skills serve you well also. Watch out for thieves, whether they are
after your purse or your heart.
Two/One: Upheavals in love and/or business life.
Two/Two: Be careful with your health. Dealings with others turn out well.
Three/Blank: Problems with spouse or family in the home. Jealousy
threatens friendships.
Three/One: Good news and/or a surprise comes your way. Gossip about an
affair lands you in hot water.
Three/Two: A new project goes well. The trip you are planning is exactly
what is needed. Don't take risks or tell white lies; both will get you
into trouble.
Three/Three: Your love life is in an upheaval because of forces you
can't control. Money comes your way through an inheritance, raise or bonus.
Four/Blank: You change your outlook on life, possibly because of a close
family member. That misunderstanding in your relationship is not going
to go away easily.
Four/One: Debts come back to haunt you. A good marriage is in your
future, but it may be childless.
Four/Two: Unexpected events, both good and bad, cause major upheavals at
home. Don't flirt back with that person no matter how much you want to.
Four/Three: Sorrow because of children or an illness. Be careful with
your vehicle.
Four/Four: Things will go well for you if you are a craftsperson, but if
you're "white collar" you're all thumbs. Young people and sports create
happiness in your social life.
Five/Blank: Be there for a friend in need, but don't forget your needs.
Avoid risks.
Five/One: Your calendar is full, so you should be able to find someone
to help you forget that charming rake. Money problems loom ahead.

projects. Perhaps a child.
Five/Three: Social and financial life are secure. Expect a visitor.
Five/Four: Money problems with your partner will end when you make your
own money.
Five/Five: Things are looking up in all aspects of your life. Now is the
time for that move.
Six/Blank: Accidents, gossip, jealousy and perhaps even the death of a
person or animal.
Six/One: Problems work themselves out. Middle age brings happiness.
Six/Two: Relationships go well, leading to possible marriage to a good
partner. Bad business goes sour. A useful gift comes your way.
Six/Three: A good marriage is in your future. That trip will be
successful. Good report about a vehicle. Middle-age illness.
Six/Four: Through there may be legal problems in your future, all in all
your life is a good one. Early, successful marriage brings children.
Six/Five: The job is going well, but to have good relationships takes
work. Children could bring trouble.

property are lucky. |
