The seven-card Horse Shoe is a convenient, basic layout that can be used to answer different types of questions, especially concerning questions where insight would be helpful. Like several other layouts, it has dominoes representing the past, present, and future.
The pinnacle of the Horse Shoe, looking like the top of the mountain, shows the obstacle or challenge that needs to be addressed and overcome. Card #6 suggests a course of action to meet this challenge. The final domino shows the outcome or future, should this advice be followed.
Other clues are provided in Cards #3 and #5, which indicate hidden or outside influences that come into play, affecting the journey to your goal.

The Past Domino represents past events that are affecting the question.
Two/Six
What you have asked will be settled like the clarity of daylight. Things will work out well. However, things do not work out so well in questions regarding earth, houses, and objects used as supports such as tables or stages.
Blank/Six
You now have the opportunity for material gain. New ventures are on the horizon. You must make a decision which of these new ventures best suits your ambitions for the future.
Blank/Three
You have the opportunity before you to strengthen your spirit. It would be of great advantage to take this opportunity for spiritual growth, as these moments are fleeting and somewhat rare.
Two/Two
New unions and the strengthening of established unions are just around the corner. These unions may be secular and/or spiritual, and will prove successful. Be open to change, but do not abandon your values. Works of virtue and power are favoured by this sign. Fire activities are highly favoured and increase happiness much, but works involving water, earth, and fixed objects are not at all favourable, even bad.
Three/Three
Wealth increases like a river feeding the ocean. This sign is especially good for works involving water, however marriage or rituals involving fire are not favoured.
Blank/Two
You now have great potential for growth. It is recommended that you take advantage of this time by exploring every avenue available for you to grow, whether spiritually or materially.
One/Two
The eye of transcendental wisdom shall open. The advice of a good friend should be followed, and this will prove very beneficial. Scrying rituals will be fruitful.
