Lesson 4 • Geomancy and Dot Casting

Teach the 16 geomantic figures, their elemental associations, and the shield chart reading method. Adds a mathematically structured casting system to the student's toolkit.

Lesson 1 • Numerology Core Systems

Calculate and interpret life path, expression, and soul urge numbers using Pythagorean and Chaldean systems. Gives students a complete numerological reading toolkit.

Lesson 2 • Astrological Foundations for Divination

Cover planets, signs, houses, and aspects as the core vocabulary of astrological divination. Provides the minimum chart literacy needed for divinatory application.

Lesson 3 • Combining Astrology and Numerology
