Your Geomantic Reading

Geomancy channels the language of earth and sky, using 16 binary-dot figures instead of cards or runes. Each symbol carries a voice: momentum, loss, joy, challenge... Their interplay reveals a narrative about your question. Trust what arises, and remember: the chart is a mirror, not a decree.

How to Read Each Group

The Four Mothers

Your Four Mothers are the primal forces at the heart of your question. Read them as the raw ingredients in your situation, the energies that have already been set in motion.

The Four Mothers are used to derive the next set, which is used to derive the next set, continuing through the rest of the reading.

The Four Daughters

The Daughters echo and refine the Mothers. They show how those primal forces are expressing themselves in your life’s next layer of experience.

The Four Nieces

The Nieces reveal emerging patterns, often unconscious or hidden, that arise when Mothers and Daughters combine. Look here for surprises or undercurrents you might have overlooked.

The Two Witnesses

The Witnesses act as moral or ethical compass points. They illuminate what’s just or unjust, right or wrong, guiding you towards integrity in action.

Judge

The Judge synthesises the Witnesses into one decisive verdict. This figure clarifies the chart’s strongest message or outcome.

Reconciler

Finally, the Reconciler bridges any remaining tension, pointing towards how you can integrate opposing forces and move forward in wholeness.
