Quick Statistical Notes on the Geomantic Joys

Every figure is equally likely to rejoice. (This means, for example, that Carcer is no more likely to appear in the XII than Puella is in the V.)

This is how likely a chart is to have a given number of simultaneously-rejoicing figures (assuming that Caput Draconis rejoices in the II and that Cauda Draconis rejoices in the VIII, which I have not yet been able to verify):

0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
35%	38%	19%	6%	1%	1‰	1‱	0%

(Seven was the theoretical maximum, since there are nine houses where figures can rejoice, and I demonstrated in my previous post that you can't simultaneously have Mercury and Venus, and the Sun and Jupiter, rejoicing, which lowers the maximum by two. It turns out that maximum cannot be achieved.)

Of the twelve charts where six figures rejoice, all of them have Caput Draconis in the II, six of them have Puella in the I, and five of them have Amissio in the IV. Here is one example, with Caput Draconis, Puella, Rubeus, Cauda Draconis, Fortuna Minor, and Tristitia rejoicing:

On Flat Refusals

I feel like there is some sort of law of conservation of information that this world is beholden to: that the amount and kinds of information that can penetrate the veil between this world and the greater world beyond is limited. I like trying to poke at the boundary through the various tools I possess, but rarely do I get through.

The other day, I asked my deity in prayer a question along these lines. They said, You know I can't tell you that directly. So I replied, "Can I ask about it with geomancy?" and They said, You can always ask...

You know where this is going just as well as I do.

See that Amissio (lack) connecting the seventh house (of my deity) and third house (of communication)? Yeah, that says, ...but I can't tell you.

I can almost see Them winking at me.
