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.

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.
