The Lotus Flower tile also speaks of regeneration, and may indicate a time of recovery from hardship—a new beginning.

The Western Tiles explore obstacles and solutions to strife caused by The Nucleus.

Symbol: Insect

The Southern Tiles represent current and near-future influences that are affecting The Nucleus.

Wan 8

If both or neither appear in your reading, then you have a relationship of some kind that is of undecided value.
