Will the House Burn Down This Year? Part 3
The wildfire season is winding down a bit here-- By this I mean that the wildfire map looks better than it did in August, but there are still some enormous wildfires in our area. A few of them may continue to burn through the Winter--This is something I have never heard of before!
On the BC Wildfires Map, they try to include the reason the wildfire started, such as "lightning strike," "sparks from a train," "Human caused," or (frequently) "Unknown." This got me thinking that I could do a reading with these categories in mind--
28 August 2021
Question: Will our house be endangered by arson this year (2021)?
Selections:
House Chart
Querent I
Quesited IV
Mothers: Caput Draconis, Tristitia, Conjunctio, Caput Draconis
We have Occupation (Caput Draconis in I and IV), and Translation (Conjunctio in XII and III)
Part of Fortune is X Tristitia;
Index is II Tristitia.
Overall, looks like a strong 'Yes'. Unusually positive Cardines, and the Court Story with Conjunctio in XII, III, and IX may indicate the person is eventually caught.
I'm pretty sure I did another reading right after that with the question, "Will the arsonist try to burn down our house?"-- The answer seemed to be 'no.' Of course, I can't find the chart now.
Question:
4 Sept 2021 Will Arsonists try to burn their own house in September 2021 in our neighborhood?
Selections:
House Chart
Querent I
Quesited IV
Mothers: Acquisitio, Tristitia, Rubeus, Acquisitio
At first glance, it looks like a strong positive, Occupation with Acquisitio in Querent and Quesited (I and IV).
But Wait!
This is a third party question so the chart must be rotated.
If the arsonist(s) have a house in our neighborhood, they are our neighbors, so House I rotates to House III, and thus House IV rotates to House VI.
Querent Rubeus I is negative
Quesited Puella IV is positive.
So roughly, they won't get what they want, but it all turns out for the best
Rubeus travels from new I to new VII. Opposition to their plans?
Puella travels from new IV to new IX. Arsonists travel far away? I would expect Carcers if they were going to prison.
Note that Puer in New X and New VI flanks Rubeus and Puella in their new positions. I am not sure that counts as translation.
Cardines:
Begin: Rubeus
Mid: Puer
End: Rubeus
Result: Puella A whole lot of action, ill-considered rashness and intrigue, but it all works out in the end. Puella in New IV is amplified on either side by Populus, so a strong, good ending somehow.
Overall, looks like a complex tangle of drama. Possibly someone will try to burn their own house, but there is more to the story. Possibly there is a better question I could have asked.
What about the contents of my house? Previous readings indicated that, because of the fire prevention efforts we did this Summer, our house will not burn down after all. But what about the possibility of smoke damage?
Question:
4 Sept 2021: In Sept 2021, do we need to move some furniture from one place in the house to another to prevent it from being damaged?
Selections:
House Chart
Querent: I
Quesited: II
Mothers: Tristitia, Cauda Draconis, Carcer, Rubeus (Yowza! What depressing Mothers these are!)
Querent: Tristitia negative
Quesited: Cauda draconis negative
From the negativity of the characters, the answer would seem to be "no."
On the other hand, these are compound demi-simple in relation. under Jupiter.
Also, Querent and Quesited travel to XII and III to neighbor each other in a double conjunction.
New IV travels to New XII.
Court story: Fire in the beginning, sorrow in the end. Judge is Carcer (Jail?).
Looks more like this is not an accidentally set fire....
Concluding Remarks
Next step would be to figure out who it is, and prevent them from setting the fire if possible. This leads us straight into dangerous waters-- Let's suppose I figure out who is planning to torch their own house, and that I even know when the house is going to be torched, thanks to Geomancy--
Do I tip off the Police and Fire Dept in advance?
I am inclined to say, "no." Advance notice would make me look like a crackpot and a false accuser before the fact, and would make _me_ a suspect for arson after the fact.
On the other hand, if I happen to be looking at the property when the fire is set, and if I happen to have a water hose turned on and ready for use, and my cellphone is charged and ready to call 9-1-1, well that would be a happy coincidence for me and all my neighbors.
And if I have completely missed the boat on all of this, and am found to be standing outside, holding a hose in the wee hours of the morning on a certain date in the near future for no apparent reason-- Why, that would be the best outcome of all!
Foolish or not. I will let you all know how it turned out, probably in about 10 days...

Question for the group: "When there are modes of perfection with all negative characters, does this mean "Heck No!" or does the existence of modes of perfection mean the answer is "Yes?"
The court story could mean, "It's wisest to take action and move it away (Judge and IX = Via)."
Something is still not adding up here. Possibly someone accidentally sets their own house on fire? If so, I could find out who it is and possibly prevent the fire;
6 Sept 2021 Question: Will the destructive fire in our neighborhood be accidentally caused by humans?
Selections:
Another third party question, so the house must be rotated:
House:
Querent: III (neighbor) becomes New I
Quesited: VI (town) becomes new IV
Mothers; Via, Fortuna Minor, Amissio, Tristitia
Querent Amissio , negative
Quesited Fortuna Minor, positive Loss, happening quickly.
New IV travels to New XII.
Court story: Fire in the beginning, sorrow in the end. Judge is Carcer (Jail?).
