At top of paper:
[* Draw a circle]
* Draw an invoking earth pentagram [inside circle], with sigil of Ruler
  of House related to the matter in Question.
Rest of paper:
* With mind fixed on Sigil and Question, make 16 lines of dots
* Foreach set of 4 lines: write 2 dot for even number of dots,
  1 cross for odd, eg
  13 ->		 *
  12 ->		* *
  6  ->		* *
  3  ->		 *
* You now have 4 Geomantic figures, (written from right to left, for
  convenience) called the 4 Mothers
* Derive 4 Daughters by taking all the first lines of the figure, and
  writing them downwards to make the first Daughter, all the second
  lines to make the second, etc.
* These should be written to the left of the 4 Mothers, making figures 5-8
* Now the 4 Resultants (or 4 Nephews) are derived by "XORing" each pair
  of figures, ie add the number of dots in each line, if even draw 2 crosses
  for that line of the Nephew, if odd put 1. The pairs of figures from which
  come the Resultants are 1+2, 3+4, etc.
* These are written underneath the 8 first figures under the pairs from
  which they were derived, for convenience
* These are the 12 important figures
* Now the Left and Right Witnesses, and the Judge are calculated:
* The Witnesses are derived from the Nephews in the same way as the Nephews
  were calculated, and then the Judge comes from the Witnesses in the
  same way. The Witnesses are otherwise unimportant.
* If desired, the Reconciler can be calculated as above from the Judge and
  the figure in the house signifying the Question.
* If the Question is one of money, the Part of Fortune is calculated by
  adding the number of points in the first 12 figures, and then modulo
  12. If 0, then it is 12. It is a money- related figure, ie cash, and
  that figure tells of your money situation.
* The first 12 figures are drawn on a geomantic map:

* The "dignity" (or strength) of each figure is calculated from how in tune
  it is with the house it is in. It is strongest in its own house, very strong
  in its Exaltation, strong in its Triplicity, weak in its Fall, and weakest
  in its detriment. The Fall is if it is in a house oppposed to its Exaltation,
  and its detriment is opposite to its own house.

* Assign a House to your request, from the first "general notes".
* Note whether the Judge (and the Reconciler) are favourable to this.
* Note the significance of the figure in your Question's House.
* See if this figure "springs", or appears in any other houses, and
  write this down. Note also the "dignity" of this figure in the Q's H.
* Note astrological aspects between houses, noting what houses are Sextile,
  Quintile, Square, Trine, etc. Write the Good on one side of a piece of
  paper, and the Evil on the other side, noting the dignities of these
  figures, and whether or not the figure is friendly to its House. Note
  also whether the astrological aspects are Dexter, ie contrary to the
  natural succession of the houses, or Sinister, which is in accordance
  with the natural succession. Dexter aspects are more powerful than
  Sinister ones.
* Add the meaning of the 4th House, which signifies the end of the matter.
  See whether the Judge (and optional Reconciler) are harmonious with it.
* Add also the Part of Fortune, if this is a money Question.
* Now form a final judgement based on all your data.
