Help with Geomancy
-
I've read "A Handbook of Geomancy" from the second volume of the Equinox.
I have drawn all necessary figures, and understood that for my demand I need to look at the 9th house, but now what? I did not understand the final chapter, where the general method of judging a figure is described. I still don't know what tables to look at for each phase of the judgment.
I have some very basic questions, so please bear with me, as it is my very first time.- After looking at the Table of Witnesses and Judge, they went to check the figure in the 2nd place. How did they deduce that it is Evil?
- Then they looked at the Part of Fortune. What should be done for other such "Parts"?
- If this figure did spring into other Houses, what should have been checked then?
- How did they deduce that "The figures [star] and [triangle] of 2nd are..."?
- Then why did they go to the 4th place?
- How did they deduce that the Reconciler is a sympathetic figure that denotes delay?
I guess that each of these questions can be answered by looking at a particular table on that article, but I still don't understand which one to look at (and how) for each purpose.
Thank you!
