How did the Mundane Reading for 2022 come out?

[emmanuelg]

 At the beginning of 2022, I did a mundane reading to see what could be expected.  Although 2022 is not yet over, it is probably time to review the year and see how Geomancy did.

It was a very general question, so we can expect the answers to be very general as well.  The predicted war showed up in February, but not in North America.  Partial and unstable economic recovery showed up, and also restrictions in the form of trade sanctions and rolling shortages of manufactured goods.  

Here is the reading, with my comments:

Mundane Reading for 2022 - Canada and USA

Jan. 1st, 2022 07:32 pm

 Happy New Year, everyone!  

Actually at this point, I think I would settle for a Boring New Year-- It would be great to get a break from COVID gyrations, Wild Fires, Record Flooding, and the like--

What does Geomancy say about 2022, generally?

 

Here's the chart I cast for most of North America (Canada and the USA)-- Perhaps the chosen target is too large, but maybe its instructive anyway.  We can look at it again in January 2023 and see if there were any clues to the future year 2022.

Also, I am looking for indications on promising questions to pursue that may pop up in this very general Mundane Chart;

 

Date:  1 Jan 2022

Question:  How will 2022 go for Canada and the USA?

Chart:  House

Querent/Quesited:  All houses, to be read as a Mundane Chart

Mothers:  Fortuna Major, Puella, Caput Draconis, Puer.

 

The House Chart:

 

 

Cardines:

 

I  Beginning:  Fortuna Major  - A struggle to succeed, success after difficulty  

 

 

X Middle:  Amissio -- Losses by mid-year

VII  End:  Cauda Draconis -- Ending in the Ending, something is profoundly over with

 

 

VI  Aftermath:  Puer -- Recklessness/Conflict/War

Court Story:

This looks happier--

Witness 1  Albus - Wisdom

Judge  Acquisitio - gain/grasping

Witness 2 - Caput Draconis - A new beginning

 

Houses by List:

I was hoping for some obvious links between houses, as clues for future inquiries--but there are few of these.  

Looking, then, at the list of houses with an eye towards a mundane reading;

 

I   The people of Canada and USA - Fortuna Major, a difficult struggle towards success.  Links with VI, the workforce.  Difficult working conditions ahead this year, but we will succeed.

 

It was a difficult year in the beginning, but easing of COVID restrictions helped get a lot of people back to work.  

 

II  Wealth/The Economy - Puella (fickle) love - A good economy that is nonetheless not stable.

 

Fickle is a pretty good word to describe our economy in 2022.  In North America, it’s not the depths of the Great Depression (at least, not yet) but it seems to me that there are more and more of the rolling shortages in many things that may indicate destabilization of the Global Economy.

 

III The neighborhood of North America - Caput Draconis - New beginnings amongst our neighbors here.  Matches Court Witness 2, so a good outcome for localities

 

Probably a miss here, or I do not see what is significant...,

 

IV The lands of North America - Puer - Rash decisions, conflict, possibly war

 

Certainly there is a lot of conflict and disagreement among different groups of people in North America.  There is much discussion of the possibility of another civil war.  ‘Talking things over’ and ‘Agreeing to disagree’ is not something we seem to do very much these days...

 

V Perennial Crops, Weather - Acquisitio - Good and lucky perennial harvests this year.  Matches Court Judge.

 

Looks like farmers made money this year, according to this chart:

https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-economy/farm-sector-income-finances/farm-sector-income-forecast/#:~:text=Net%20cash%20farm%20income%20is,(27.2%20percent)%20in%202021.

Other Ag commentators are worried about the stability of farm exports.  I don’t know enough about Agriculture to comment on it, but grasping for returns without long-term stability matches Acquisitio pretty well.

 

 

VI  Employees - The workforce - Fortuna Major, see 'I' above

 

Labor force, working through difficulties with a lot of planning.  Sounds about right.

 

 

VII Allies/Treaties/Enemies - Cauda Draconis -  May mean loss of international alliances, and/or loss to enemies.

 

Deterioration of relations with China and Russia continues

 

VIII Death, Spiritual Entities - Via - Transitions, Black Swan Events.  Unsure of Mundane interpretation of this house.  Maybe a change in the National/Regional egregore.

 

Much discussion this year about gods or demons driving events

 

IX Long-term outlook - Laetitia - Joy; a good outlook in the long term.

 

 

X  Political Standing among nations - Amissio - Loss of international status/standing.  

 

The erosion of US credibility and status continues.  

 

XI Annual Crops - Conjunctio - With V, looks like a good year for crops.   Conjunctio may indicate positive international trade deals.

 

Crops yes, trade deals– not so much.  The US was importing far more than it exported this year.

 

XII Debts/International Law/Restrictions - Tristitia - Sorrow - A year of increased restrictions.

 

Canadian national debt has greatly increased.  This is partly due to overspending on publicly funded COVID vaccines, tests and the like, plus the usual liberal government excess.  US spending and fiscal mismanagement is orders of magnitude greater than what happens in Canada.  When governments increase the money supply beyond the resources available, the result is a loss of purchasing power for each dollar.  Fuel prices have fluctuated wildly, and there are rolling shortages in medicines and other goods which are aggravated by trade sanctions imposed on Russia and China.  Sorrow on all fronts.

 

Putting the pieces together--

It's a confusing picture,, but it looks like a good year for employees and localities within Canada and North America.  Annual and perennial crops will be good, mostly by luck, and we will have success with international sales of our crops.  

This seems to be accurate.

 

On the other hand, we will lose international partnerships and allies, and may possibly end the year in a war that we will lose.

Alliances are strained, and we are involved in a protracted proxy war with Russia over Ukraine.  No outcome to the war yet.

 

X and XII seem to indicate loss of international status and restrictions.

The Court Story may indicate that those who have the wisdom to know what is happening will grasp opportunities and create a new beginning for themselves.

We definitely have had restrictions.  Being wise about what is going on and creating a new beginning may just be another way to say, ‘Collapse now and avoid the rush.’

 

Threads for More Specific Inquiries:

 

Break out Canada, the USA, and my local region for mundane readings.

 

Will the economy do well this year?

 

Will there be an end to COVID restrictions this year?

 

Will the US/Canada be involved in a war this year?

 

Will the US/Canada lose allies and/or trading partners this year?
