emmanuelgI live in an area of the Pacific Northwest where there is a seasonal risk of wild fires. There are a lot of forests around here, and it often happens that, whether from lightning strikes or careless fires, they periodically burn. This year has been extremely dry, and temperatures have broken new records-- The town of Lytton BC, not too far from me, recorded a temperature of 125 deg F, higher than the highest recorded temperature in Las Vegas, Nevada. The same day, wildfire swept through the town and burned it to the ground.
This brings us to the perennial question for folks around here-- "Will My House Burn Down This Year?"
What will Geomancy say?

Question: Will our house burn down in 2021?
Selections:
House chart
Querent - House I
Quesited - House IV, for real estate,buildings
Mothers: Via, Laetitia, Laetitia, Fortuna Minor
Querent: I - Via - Change; Negative for stability
Quesited: IV - Fortuna Minor; Sudden change
Tentative Interpretation; 'Yes, the house will burn down this year.'
Note also;
Via travels to V for a Conjunction with IV.
II and III are both Laetitia, and form Translation with I and IV.
Laetitia is sometimes known as 'Flame', and seems to be occupying II, the house of closely held things/treasures, and III, the house for the neighborhood.
Laetitia also occupies VII adversaries/contracts, and VIII magic/death.
Cardines:
I Beginning Via
X Middle Rubeus
VII End Laetitia
IV Aftermath Fortuna Minor
So possibly Chage-Drama-Fire-sudden occurrence. Pretty much what we'd expect from wildfire.
Conjunctio appears as Witness 2 and XI- Hopes and dreams.
Certainly a lot to think about here.

Question: Are there fireproofing measures we can take that will prevent our house from burning down this year?
Selections:
House Chart
Querent - House I
Quesited - House IV
Mothers: Carcer, Acquisitio, Rubeus, Populus
Querent: Carcer -Negative on first glance - Or could indicate stability/security. Inner and outer elements: Earth.
Quesited: Populus - Possibly negative since the question is about focused action. Or could be magnifying Carcer to indicate something like 'lots of security measures needed.'
That said, looks like denial of perfection, so possibly the answer is 'No.'
Court:
Witness 1 - Laetitia - Flame
Witness 2 - Albus - Wisdom- But passivity, or may indicate the need for help from others.
Judge: Amissio - Loss -- or generosity; ie., spend the money on the measures.
Other:
Rubeus in III - Neighborhood, and X - Reputation/Social Standing
Populus in IV - Real estate and VII Contracts/enemies
Laetitia in V - Crops/Rain/Sexuality/Information and Witness 1.
Fortuna Minor in VIII, IX, XII
Over all, looks bad so far.

Selections:
Shield Chart
Mothers: Tristitia, Amissio, Fortuna Minor, Puer
Querent/Witness 1 - Amissio negative
Quesited/Witness 2 - Carcer negative
Judge Fortuna Major - Positive

Judge seems to indicate that I have understood them correctly. Loss locked in for the future?

3 Outer state: Caput Drac - Rubeus - Fortuna Major
4 Outer change: Rubeus - Puer - Carcer
Commments:
Well! We will see if the house burns down this year. Meanwhile, we are planning to move as many photographs, data backups, etc as we can to our storage locker as we can. We will also try to take out trees near the house and fireproofing as much as possible.

I had a good think about the structure of the question. I could have said, "how many days until the house burns down?" but I am no longer sure that it will burn completely down. I could have said, "How long until fire or wildfire arrives at our house?" but just 'fire' could be any sort of fire, like a lit candle on the porch. And wildfire could arrive at our house without damaging anything. So to be more specific, I chose the following:
Reading 1.
7 July 2021
How many days until destructive fire arrives at our house?
Selections:
Shield Chart
Numeric value associated with Quesited.
Mothers: Cauda Drac, Cauda Drac, Carcer, Cauda Drac.
Quesited is Puer.
From the table, the value is 79 or 120 --days by definition.
July 7 is the 188th day of 2021, so 188+120 = Day 308. or 188+79= Day 267.
Day 308 is Thursday Nov 4 2021
Day 267 is Friday Sept 24 2021.
Which one?
I vaguely remembered that if you want the event to happen, choose the sooner date, and if you don't want it to happen choose the later date.
When I re-read the guidelines in APG, the discussion on page 149 included, "...whether the significators perfect, whether favorable or unfavorable figures occupy the cardines, and so on...."
From this, it appears that JMG was using the quesited from the House Chart, not the Shield Chart!
I decided to do another divination;
Reading 2.
7 July 2021
How many days until destructive fire arrives at our house?
Selections:
House Chart
Querent: House I
Quesited: House IV
Numeric value associated with Quesited.
Mothers: Via, Albus, Caput Drac, Acquisitio
https://amissio.net/gen/house/f4/ea.svg
Quesited is Acquisitio in House IV;
From the table, 79 or 13 days.
188+79 = day 267, or Friday Sept 24, 2021
188+13 = day 201, or Tuesday, July 20 2021
The court looks positive to me; Witness 1 Via signifying changes; Witness 2 Conjuctio signifying people helping us; Carcer as Judge would possibly be security of defense.
Cardines:
I Beginning Via Change
X Middle Albus Wisdom/Passivity
VII End Cauda Drac -- A very definitive ending, so possibly it will burn down after all.
IV Aftermath Acquisitio -- Something gained.
Acquisitio passes to XII, Conjunct with Querent in I.
Puella shows up in VIII and VI, so possibly the goddess of my recent acquaintance is intervening in some way.
Taken together, it was stunning to me that both readings brought up 79 days.
I decided to calculate the ratio of dots to 96 for a more precise time measurement:
Reading 1:
89 dots. 89/96 x 79 days = 73.24 days, or about 6 AM on 18 Sept 2021.
Reading 2:
90 dots. 90/96 x 79 days = 74 days, or just after midnight on 19 Sept 2021.
These remarkable results are also very favorable for me. If the timing is correct, I still have time to cut the trees, clear the brush and re-side with Hardy Board!
