Another Mundane reading, this time about Canada, where I live--
This year once again, I am specifying a narrower focus on the results, based on chart characteristics that have given insights in the past.

Date: 31 Dec 2023
Question: How will 2024 go for Canada?
Chart: House Chart, Focus on Court Story, Cardines, Repeating figures and their houses.

Mothers: Tristitia, Amissio, Via, Fortuna Minor

Court Story:

Witness 1: Laetitia
Judge: Populus
Witness 2: Laetitia

This is an unusually happy court story! Joy from beginning to end, amplified by Populus, so joy for all.

Cardines:

Beginning: Tristitia Beginning with sorrow
Middle: Fortuna Major Working a plan to success through adversity
End: Conjunctio Things come together
Aftermath: Fortuna Minor An unexpected benefit or surprise

Again, a very positive set of Cardines. Tough at the beginning, but Canada works to pull through.

Repeating Figures:

Amissio: II and VIII Loss in treasure and loss in spiritual entities--- Hmmm. Spiritual entities causing a loss of savings? Amissio in II could also be generosity. Not sure what that could mean.

Fortuna Minor: IV and XII Old secrets suddenly revealed in the land.

Fortuna Major: VI and X: Healthcare improves with hard work.

Summary Comments:
Over-all, seems like a very positive year for Canada. Secrets in the land could refer to the ongoing residential school stuff-- Perhaps something new is discovered on that front.
We could really use an improvement in the Healthcare system here. For the last few years, it seems to be collapsing, and there are way too many medically-assisted suicides.
The mystery is Amissio in II and VIII

Canada's reading is remarkably different from that of the USA. I usually think of the two countries as closely linked, but looks like Canada is taking a much different path from the US this year.

Current Mood: hopeful

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..

Current Mood: hopeful

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

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/stock-market

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

VI Aftermath: Puer -- Recklessness/Conflict/War

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

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?

Current Mood: contemplative
