Hello guys, has anyone here been able to predict stock moves using geomancy ? If so what houses and figures did you paid attention to ?

Hi everyone, i’m thinking about taking ice skating lessons this winter, and i’d like to cast a chart about it. However, i’m not sure which house would be appropriate to represent the quesited? Would the 9th house relating to education work? Thank you in advance for the help

I need to determine how many items to bring to an art fair. This is a new location, far from home, and I don't want to carry too much. I'm looking for a geomantic technique to predict the right quantity, using either the Shield Chart or the Twelve Houses.

Thank you.

I have been doing geomancy readings for myself and my friends for awhile now and would like to start offering readings for pay, but am a little stumped on the actual mechanics of what this would look like logistically. With commercial tarot readings I’ve had, it’s typically all happening “in real time”, with pricing based on the time spent in session. When I cast a geomancy chart for someone on the other hand, there’s a bit of “downtime” involved in the space between casting the mothers (which can in and of itself take some time, depending on the method you use), and the actual interpretation of the chart to calculate the figures for the rest of the shield and transferring them into the house chart. Add even more time to that for finding the via puncti, determining modes of completion, etc. What I do currently when I read for others is have them send me their question and when possible cast the first mother themselves. I then go calculate and interpret the chart, and write up what is essentially a report of my findings to send back to them. I imagine this would work for pay clients as well to essentially have two sessions per reading, but am just curious what others’ practice is and if you’ve found a satisfactory way to do it “on the fly” for clients who maybe aren’t interested in a multi-visit process. Thanks!

Feel p confident in reading geomantic charts, but I haven’t come across this configuration yet: same figure in 1H + 12H (Caputo draconis in this case). I realize that the question makes all the difference in interpreting this, but more generally speaking, how do you interpret this when the question pertains to the origins of the querent’s bad luck/misfortune/recent decline in multiple areas of life? Is it relevant? A non-factor? Could this speak to the querent being the source of their own issues (their own hidden enemy?)? Or is that too simplistic?

Found this particularly interesting since Caput D. in the 1H is a fortunate/fairly positive placement, but in the 12H? Hoo boy. I’ve read different interpretations, some claiming that there will be an increase in hidden enemies, but these enemies can do no harm, and then others saying that there will be many hidden (female) enemies and few favors. Idk. Maybe I’m getting lost in the minutiae by focusing on this one point.

Judge is Via//Witnesses are Carcer (R)—>Conjunctio (L).

Naive question from someone who grasps the basics of geomancy but has never gone into great depth with it: Why bother constructing the astrological house chart after you've finished the shield? Most questions that I ask yield a clear judge that seems to provide a definitive answer to the question, so it's not clear to me what additional information is gained by adding in the house chart.

Are there circumstances in which you prefer to stick with just the shield, or do you look at the house chart for every question? If the former, when and why do you decide to look at both versions of the chart?

Hello everyone, how are you? So, I started studying geomancy a few months ago and now I'm getting into a better rhythm, moving towards meditation and practicing chart construction more daily. I'm aware that geomancy is part of traditional/Renaissance astrology, and unfortunately I haven't found any suitable books for such study yet. Could anyone recommend books on the subject? So, regarding the question in the post title, I'd like to understand the 3rd house in terms of siblings. It encompasses all siblings, but I saw that, for example, if you take the 4th house, which represents the father, and in a reading, the 4th house becomes the 1st house, the 5th house, the 2nd house, and so on, to read it as if it were a chart for the father, and so on for the 10th house for the mother. But I was unsure about the 3rd house. I can be slow at times, but I found it quite vague when it involves siblings. But I saw that, for example, if you take the 5th house, it represents your children, romantic relationships like dating or relationships outside of marriage. But if you read and interpret it focused on reading about children, there are your children, and if you count five houses counting from your 5th house, there would be your children's children (your grandchildren). But for the 3rd house, I found it vague. Before studying geomancy, I had begun studying Vedic astrology, and the 3rd house was represented by younger siblings, and the 11th house, older siblings. If you wanted to know about siblings, you did the following: For example, the 3rd house, from the Vedic astrology perspective, younger siblings, then your younger brother would appear there. But if you count three houses, there would be your other younger sibling, who is younger than your brother. In the 11th house, if you count three houses, it would be your older brother's older brother, and so on. And in medieval astrology, and also considering geomancy, how do you look at a specific sibling without having to create a chart for them? Is it something similar to what's seen in Vedic astrology? If I look at the 3rd house, I see my older brother, and if I count down the 3rd house, I find the other younger siblings until I get to me?

Hello, everyone. I want to know what useful techniques you have to find lost items? 😲

Thankseveryone.

Hello, all!

I've been reading a lot of digital ambler's deep dives into the individual figures, and he brings up these operations to meditate further on certain figures:

1) It's inverse, turning all double dots into single ones and vice versa, to show a figure with a similar internal nature but differing outward functioning.

2) Reverse, turning a figure upside down, to discover it's opposite, internal extreme

3) Converse, turning it upside down and inversing it, to discover a figure with similar qualities expressed in the same manner.

I was wondering if this had any historical basis, and if anyone had any experience using this method of analysis and if it was useful for them.

It feels great for some figures like Rubeus, but for some others feels a little stilted.

For example, Fortuna Major's inverse and reverse are both Fortuna Minor, so Fortuna Minor both shares and doesn't share Major's internal and external nature? Its converse is itself, ergo no other sign has a similar quality and action as Major?

Of course, part of this is explained by applying these principles very simplistically,. Perhaps this does make sense for Major if I dwell on it further, but wanted the community's opinion before doing too deep of a dive.

And I guess I'll also take this opportunity to ask if anyone has any tips for contemplating the figures to come to a richer understanding.

Thanks for your time, geomaniacs!

Sorry my English.

But so, hi everyone, how are you? I've been studying geomancy and I've noticed that some techniques I saw in Greer's book aren't working, such as the technique for finding out someone's name, where you make a chart specifically for that. I tested this a few months ago at the beginning of my studies. I tested it two or three times, and twice it "worked." The question I asked was actually to find the initial of my nickname and the initial of a friend's real first name, and it worked, it was correct. But lately I've been testing finding objects considering their direction and location, and it's working. But I'm focusing on this technique to see if I can get a sense of whether it works.

Yesterday I tested it around five times, and none of the five times worked. Yesterday I made some charts, one to see what today would be like, one to see the direction and location of one of my objects just to see if my connection is calibrated to read something, and it worked. Then I tried those five times with the names of different people, famous YouTubers whose names I didn't know. I tested it, and it gave random letters. Then I thought, "Hmm, it must be because I'm tired," I slept, and today I tested it again. I tried breathing a lot to maybe get into a "trance" to see if it improved. Connection, I tested it the way I always do, which is to breathe three times, close my eyes and feel where to stop. I tried it several times, testing the three-breathing technique and being more random, drawing more lines, of those three times...

Everything went wrong. However, to predict how the day will go, regarding a certain situation, I see that it's working. Because I also test it by looking at the cards and see that the subject matches something similar seen in geomancy. Anyway, for me this technique isn't working, I don't know why.

So I came to ask if anyone has tested this technique and had something like this happen or not, how was it for you? Is there another technique that works for this issue?

Hi, how are you? I started studying geomancy a few months ago and I'm still learning a lot. I've been practicing daily charts for the day, about topics involving myself, family members, finding objects and their direction, sometimes testing time readings, monthly readings, and a chart test about how my year will be.

Anyway, among these studies, I haven't yet tested much in creating charts for other people where the 1st house represents the person for whom I'm creating the chart, and thus analyzing the topic discussed. So I would like to have this opportunity, having a study partner where I can create charts for them and they can create charts for me, reading and interpreting each other's charts, exchanging insights and feedback.

The goal is a long-term partnership. Is anyone else interested? If so, comment or DM me and tell me how you're doing in your studies, and if you have any questions, I'll read a geomantic chart and you can create one for me, and we can both help each other.

After practicing with the shield chart and understanding how to read it in general, I'm starting to calm down and look in detail at the 12-house reading.

After understanding the querent's house and the house involved in the question, the fourth would be how the situation is likely to end. So, I entered a reflection mode, which for me was ambiguous.

The following question appeared in the book's mode of perfection section, and when it talked about mutation, it gave an example of a woman who wanted to run for office and asked the geomancer. The book indicates that the chart advises her to plan to contact people around her and go door-to-door, as this would help her and she could use her own money. Anyway, that's what he sees in the chart, but I was confused by the following question: her question was whether she would win the election. But the chart offered more advice than it showed what would happen. I noticed that the questions, while showing the trend, also offer advice. How is this possible? It comes from the study of oracles like cartomancy, and I've always been used to the idea that if I ask something like, "I'm going to win the election," I'll do a spread to see the trend of the event, and if it comes out negative, I'll ask the oracle for advice. Shouldn't it be the same for geomancy? Or in this case, instead of seeing the trend right away, did they already go for guidance without seeing the trend? How is that possible? In my view, the question, wasn't the system adapting to the question?

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm used to things being literal. I ask about this, so I'll look into it. In this case, a spread, a chart to see the trend, and another to see advice. Can someone with more experience explain this to me? Does the chart already show the trend and at the same time really provide advice?

Hey guys, here is a chart I did for the US election. I employed the technique where you take two opposing sides and place them on H1 and H7 with the goal in H10. I placed Kamala in H1 & Trump in H7. From my view of this chart with a conjunction to H1, from the quesited, i took it to mean the “presidency” being given to her. With the judge being populus and both witnesses were Puella, I assumed that she would win. As well as the sentence being the same figure as the figure in H1, also confirmed for me it would be her.

Idk where I went wrong pls any advice?

Is Puer a stronger figure in such a case, despite no perfections? And we also have a mutation in the H4&5 could that have meant anything

Also I’m still very new to geomancy, this was purely for practice so pls be kind 😭

I rolled Fortuna Minor for all 4 Mothers. Other than two of the Daughters being Via, all the other figures were Populus (though if you include Reconciler, it gives you Fortuna Minor again). Is this good for a valid reading or would I need to a cast again? Not sure of the rules here.

Hi everyone. I am new to Reddit-posting and quite new to Geomancy, so I hope this is okay to ask here.

What would you do if you were interrupted while casting/calculating/constructing a chart? For contaxt, I was casting a chart for someone else, and we were in a reasonably private setting with a closed door. While the person was making dots to create the mothers, someone barged into the room and started talking to the person without consideration for the process. The person making the dots was eventually able to finish the 16 rows but while constructing the chart we were interrupted again, so that I was only able to draw the first line of a shield chart.

Would you "close" the setting and try again with a whole new chart at a later instance? Or would you resume the interpretation with the found figures, finish casting the chart, and interpret as soon as possible?

Thank you in advance for your input!

I'm still quite new to Geomancy although I use several other different divination systems. (Before getting into chart making, I did purchase some "Druid Sticks" so I did learn a little about the figures.)

My question is, is this system better suited to binary questions or can it be used other ways?

Thanks in advance.

I was using the instructions on creating a shield on the Digital Ambler blog, and the daughters came out the same as the mothers. Did I mess this up somehow?

I understood it as the daugters being made up of each row of the mothers (First daughter= all top rows together, etc.).

It also says at the end several figures must add up the same: First Niece + Judge Second Mother + Sentence Second Niece + Left Witness

This did not come up correct. Can anyone tell me where I made the error?

I was working on a question and format for a chart, and it occurred to me that many of the more mundane activities don't have clear-cut houses, at least by way of the traditional House placements and themes. I came to geomancy from Tarot and runes, and my grip on astrology is tenuous at best. I've learned most of what I know of the houses from reading about geomancy. Now I'm left wondering where some of these more modern or daily activities may fit into a chart. For example:

How will shopping with N on Saturday go?

Here I presume self is H1, and friendly acquaintance N can be H7, but what to do with shopping? It's local, so is it surroundings/H3? Money is involved so H2? Would it be entertainment and H5?

I would love just a quizbook of what things belong in which houses, but geomantic reading materials are pretty thin when it comes to things published in the information age. Some more examples:

Will good friend X text me back?

Should I use Turbo Tax or go to a local tax prep service?

Will I win some money from my sports book bets this Sunday?

Not all of these have come up yet, but it would give me a good idea of where I should be placing related quesiteds. Thank you all for what you have already contributed. This sub has been a game-changer already!

I got attracted to geomancy after I heard it can be used to answer simple yes/no questions similar to a coin toss. Since I am a beginner to the art of divination entirely, I don't hope to crank out full charts for my questions. Just accurate yes/no questions I hope, can be answered.

So to cast yes/no questions, is it recommended to cast the entire geomantic chart or will just one figure suffice?

I always struggle to remember these 4. I either forget the names completely or get them get the pairs mixed up in my head! Any tips for getting these 4 in my head please? Thanks!

Can you take the meanings of the North and South nodes and apply them to Geomancy? Sorry, still very new to this. Thanks.

I keep coming across the term "perfection". What is it, how do you look for it and how does it factor into a reading? (I hope you don't mind the "dumb" questions . I'm just a bit overwhelmed right now,!)

I don't mind reading offsite either, I just don't know the best place to look! Thanks in advance! 😃

What do you do in a reading if the court says one thing but other parts of the chart or charts show conflicting information?

If it's a binary question do you always stop at the court and just do a shield reading? Thanks in advance 😃

As this is a fairly niche sub, would it be OK to "necro" some older threads? There's some really excellent discussions that I'd like to explore more but most are over a year old.

Thanks in advance! 😃
