What is geomancy?
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.
About Geofancy
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.
- Free to use — no paywall, account, ads, or chart database on our servers.
- No AI in the app, period — no LLM is part of the chart engine, the perfection analysis, the Way of Points, or the reference text. Mothers in, the same chart out, every time.
- Reference, not an oracle — use the text as vocabulary and prompts alongside your own judgment.

Latest release
Geofancy v0.2.2 Stable
A workflow release focused on getting readings out of the app. Share a chart with one click via a self-contained URL, archive a reading as a JSON file, or paste it straight into another tool — no more re-entering the four Mothers by hand to compare notes with a teacher or a study group.
Highlights
- Shareable chart links. A new Share Chart button on
every workspace copies a self-contained URL like
?seed=2122.1212.2222.1122to the clipboard. Anyone who opens that URL lands on the same chart on first paint — no flash of the default reading, no extra clicks. The seed format is fully readable and round-trips through any chat, email, or browser without escaping. - Mobile-aware redirect. Phones that open a
/workspace?seed=…link are auto-redirected to/mobile?seed=…while preserving the seed, so a single canonical link works across desktop and mobile. - Download JSON on Lots & Other. A new export card pinned to the top
of the Lots & Other tab streams the full reading — the four Mothers, the
resolved chart, the perfection analysis, the Way of Points result — into a single
timestamped file like
geofancy-chart-20260510-103213.json. The payload includes the share URL and seed so the file can also reproduce the chart by URL. - Copy JSON for paste-into-anything use. A second button next to Download JSON copies the same payload to the clipboard, for users who want to drop a reading straight into an editor, a notebook, or a chat without the file roundtrip. Both buttons emit byte-identical output.
- Versioned export schema. Files are stamped with
schema: "geofancy.chart-export"andschemaVersion: 1so future format evolution stays clean. - Forgiving share parser. Malformed
?seed=…values silently fall back to the default chart instead of erroring out, so a tampered or truncated URL never throws in front of a user.
Known limitations
- Server-side chart persistence (named saved readings, history, accounts) is still on the roadmap. For now, share links and JSON exports are the way to keep a reading.
- The legacy WinForms desktop app remains available for offline use but does not yet reflect the full corpus rewrite or the new card layout. The web app is the recommended surface.
- The Aspect Analysis page is marked experimental in places where its interpretive layer is still being expanded.
- Mobile chart minimum render size is enforced at 435 × 435 to preserve diagram integrity; on very narrow screens the chart drawer scales rather than reflows.
