The Return of Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

Yes, Magic Monday is on again. I appreciate deeply all the kind words, thoughts, and prayers sent my way in response to the recent passing of my wife Sara. I know that a lot of people respond to grief by taking time off, but that's not at all what I need or want just now. I've been through a long, lonely, stressful time during which I had nothing to do but provide a dying woman with the care she needed and would accept, which wasn't much, while we both waited for the inevitable to happen. What I need now to start the journey back to balance is conversation, interaction, and useful work to do.

So...

It's a few minutes before midnight and thus time to launch into a new Magic Monday. Ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. With certain exceptions, any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. Please note:  Any question or comment received after then will not get an answer, and in fact will just be deleted. (I've been getting an increasing number of people trying to post after these are closed, so will have to draw a harder line than before.) If you're in a hurry, or suspect you may be the 143,916th person to ask a question, please check out the very rough version 1.1 of The Magic Monday FAQ here. Also: I will not be putting through or answering any more questions about practicing magic around children. I've answered those in simple declarative sentences in the FAQ. If you read the FAQ and don't think your question has been answered, read it again. If that doesn't help, consider remedial reading classes; yes, it really is as simple and straightforward as the FAQ says.  

Buy Me A Coffee

Ko-Fi

I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use either of the links above to access my online tip jar; Buymeacoffee is good for small tips, Ko-Fi is better for larger ones. If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here. 

 

I've also had quite a few people over the years ask me where they should buy my books, and here's the answer. Bookshop.org is an alternative online bookstore that supports local bookstores and authors, which a certain gargantuan corporation doesn't, and I have a shop there, which you can check out here. Please consider patronizing it if you'd like to purchase any of my books online.

And don't forget to look up your Pangalactic New Age Soul Signature at CosmicOom.com.

With that said, have at it!

***This Magic Monday is now closed -- that is to say, no further comments will be put through. See you next week!***

>As for the strategy, why not cast and interpret a chart asking if that strategy is a good one for you?

I'm afraid that if I interpret it wrong, I might follow the wrong advice.

Checking the perfection first between the significators does sound plausible. My question to you was prompted by the fact that a new job appeared related to my field which I hoped to be qualified for, so I threw the dice and asked if it's worth applying to. Geomancy always grants out more information than a simple yes/no answer. The Judge was conjunctio (I find this figure so confusing), the LW and RW were respectively Puella & Puer. The first house figure was Tristitia and the 10th house figure was Conjunctio. No perfection, so no hope. But I still applied because I wanted to see if I even get a response and the judge wasn't a tough no (such as carcer, tristitia, populus) , and all tell me that job ads always exaggerate their required experience and qualifications but it seems the geomancy Gods seem to disagree with that.

I can of course ask the question, 'What do I need to do get a job in my field?' and I can also ask the question, 'What magick is best for this?' but the latter seems to be a very advanced question since it asks for very specific information.

Element Earth is the element of jobs, Jupiter and Sun are the planets, Virgo (6th house) and Capricorn (10th house) are the signs, but so far none have worked for me which is why I got into geomancy.

That is to say, you got an accurate answer -- no -- but didn't pay attention to that. That's how most people fail to make good use of geomancy. If you cast a chart about the strategy, again, pay attention to the presence or absence of a mode of perfection and that will give you a firm, unmistakable yes or no answer.

That's what Sam Block told me as well. That the chart is never inaccurate but our interpretation of it is.

But what does your wisdom recommend besides geomancy? Could there be an internal spiritual issue with me that's stopping me from success here?

Or a specific occult force I have not tried...such as Mars? The planet that bulldozes through obstacles.

It seems to me that you're not listening to my advice. That being the case I'm not really interested in offering you more advice.
