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.

We all need a little help from time to time. This tile suggests to be humble but not ashamed. Be thankful and not prideful in accepting any aid. Remember that nobody owes you anything.
Blank/Four
A new energy and magnetism is in the air. If you are open-minded and changeable, you will be incredibly receptive to these vibes. All the pieces will start falling into place.
Blank/Blank
You are an artist with a blank canvas. It is up to you to choose how you fill it. You will discover new abilities that you may or may not have considered. It is up to you, which talents to cultivate. You are capable of more than you know. Make what you will.
Four/Six
Do not think only of yourself. No one is an island, and the decisions you make in life will leave a wake behind you. Be considerate of the potential of both harm and gain that could come from your actions. Realise that when you harm others, you ultimately harm yourself. Be your best self.
Two/Five
This tile suggests that self-reflection is necessary. Look within. Perhaps you recently had a dream that is still on your mind. Analyse your dreams and look to your fantasies and daydreams to find the key.
One/Four
You may not be feeling yourself at this time. Times can be tough, but it is these times that show us what we are made of. Pay attention to the way you behave because this is what defines you as a person, your character. It might not seem like it, but this could be one of the good times you will look back upon.
Blank/One
New doors are opening in your life. Different doors will open for you along the way depending upon your choices. Likewise, other doors will be closed by your choices. Navigate your path according to the way you would like to develop your character and you will have no regrets.
