How will 2024 go for the USA?

[emmanuelg]

 
As usual, here's my attempt at a Mundane Geomancy reading for the coming year in the USA--
I write down the boundaries of the reading  before casting, and this year I am going for less, and hopefully better, information:  For the past few years, I have gotten most of the useful hints of the future from the Court Story, Cardines, and Geomantic figures that repeat.  So this year, I am writing that into my bounsries for the casting;

Date: 31 Dec 2023
Chart: House
Question: How will 2024 go for the USA?
Houses: All. , Focus on Court, Cardines, repeating figure

Mothers: Cauda draconis, Cauda draconis, Acquisitio, Laetitia.





Comments:  House I has Cauda Draconis, which traditionally means that my mind, or possibly the mind of the person on whose behalf the reading is made, has been made up, and won't listen to what is said.  Since it's a mundane reading on a large country for a year, it won't surprise me if no one pays attention to it! ;-) I'll proceed anyway--

Court story:

Witness 1 - Puer
Judge:  Populus
Witness 2 - Puer

Puer is about action, or rushing into actions without reflection.  Puer has no inner life.  It is the character of "Ready, Fire, Aim!"   Magnified by Populus, so everyone gets caught up in rash actions.  I'm guessing this refers to the US Presidential election and actions taken by all political actors in the months that lead up to it.  

Cardines:

Begin   I   Cauda Draconis   No one is listening or contemplating
Middle  X  Puer                    Rushing into Conflict
End      VII Fortuna Minor     A swift and unexpected development from an outside source.
Aftermath: IV  Laetitia           Oddly, things turn out all right

Repeating Figures:

Cauda Draconis:

I        People are at their ends, driven blindly, not paying attention.
II       Endings appears in the Economy. Looks bad...
VI      Endings in Employment and professional services, so possibly an end to any benefits we hoped to get from professionals/ PMC.
XII     Endings in Limitations, Debts, obligations; If banks collapse, you no longer need to pay on the mortgage or student loans? That's a briight spot...
R       Endings in the Reconciler seems to emphasize lots of endings.






Puer:

V      Messages are coming in, but with no inner life, we are not able to absorb them.
X      Powerful people rush to action without reflection.
W1   See message above.
W2

Populus:
IX     Many/All on a long journey.
J       Many! Judge magnifies Puer witnesses.
These events affect everyone; Everyone will have a long slog ahead of them in 2024.

Summary:  Lots of  bitter drama for the USA in 2024, conflict without negotiations or compromise.   On top of politics, bad economy may have disruptions so severe that government and professional services are disrupted-- But this may mean that debts are revoked in some way, or that conditions improve for many in a surprising way.

This is a year to look outside the box, consider actions carefully when we feel forced to act right now, and look for the third and fourth option when presented with an either/or choice.  And come to think of it, this sort of thing is what I expected for 2024 so Cauda Draconis as Mother 1 seems appropriate!  

I was surprised by the hopeful note at the end of the Cardines and in House XII, and encouraged to think that there is insight to be had if we can only take the time to reflect and look outside the box.

I'd be interested to read other folks' readings for the year ahead..
