This easy-to-read four-card layout is one of the most useful of all the layouts. The first tile is the significator, and the last shows the outcome, provided that the advice given is followed. The advice is broken down into two tiles which can easily be compared and contrasted. Tile #2 suggests what to avoid, while #3 shows the path to take.
This layout can also be used to ask about the meaning of a tile from a previously executed layout that may have been unclear. In this usage, Tile #2 shows what it did not mean, while #3 clarifies the meaning.

It Deals with This
The Earth tile signifies land and stability, a solid base that can be built upon. Or perhaps this base is already built and in fact thriving. In any case it represents security and self-sufficiency.
The first tile of the mah-jong set represents success in general. At the same time the "peacock" also warns that success can lead to egotism and arrogance. A positive change in your life path is foretold.
The Fisherman symbolises common sense and the rewards that come with patience. Do not simply sit back and expect things to fall into your lap. Instead, this tile suggests that you bait the hook and cast your line before sitting back. Have a beer if you like.
The Jade tile is about lasting values and convictions. It indicates strong commitments, longevity, and vibrant health. It sometimes foretells hard work resulting in impressive gains.
