Geofancy

Geomancy is a traditional divinatory method built from binary patterns: each figure is four rows of one or two marks, yielding sixteen distinct symbols with elemental and planetary associations. Practitioners cast random marks to form Mothers, derive Daughters and Nieces, then assemble the familiar Shield chart before projecting the twelve astrological Houses.

Readings interpret how figures occupy houses, how significators relate through perfections (occupation, conjunction, mutation, translation, and more), and how elemental routes trace the Way of Points. Like other symbolic arts, geomancy frames timing, parties, and obstacles as patterns you reflect on — not guarantees.

Geofancy is a free geomancy workspace I've been building since 2022. It generates the shield and the twelve houses from the four Mothers, runs perfections and the Way of Points, and surfaces structured reference material next to the chart. The goal is to reduce bookkeeping friction and support serious study — not to replace careful human interpretation.

I came to the art through Sam Block's writing and John Michael Greer's The Art and Practice of Geomancy; the engine grew out of a WinForms tool I started in C# years before AI coding tools existed, and later became the web app you see here. The on-screen reference text is my own writing from practice and public-domain sources, and every piece of geomantic logic — the chart math, perfections, scoring, Way of Points — was designed and reasoned out by me; AI coding tools assisted with implementation and UI work, but the technical knowledge and the rules driving each chart are mine.
