Chapter 9 explores the detailed interpretation of Obí Abatá segment positions and directions in divination. It introduces the principle of Ooya, a closed segment that can transform outcomes—either protecting or obstructing depending on its position. The chapter details how the orientation of segments influences readings, such as male segments indicating protection when on top or obstruction when below, and how directional influences (e.g., pointing up or down) affect interpretations of fortune, conflict, or harmony.
Chapter 10 adds further depth, explaining additional segment combinations and their meanings. For example, male segments pointing north suggest positive omens, while those pointing south or blocked by Ooya indicate challenges. The chapter also addresses the impact of segment positioning on financial prospects, spiritual harmony, and health, providing a comprehensive guide for accurate and nuanced Obí Abatá readings.
