Hi! I just wanted to ask abput a quick geomancy question, when asking questions abt magic, magicians or magic projects which house do you focus on? I consider magic a service and direct it to the 6th house but i'm not 100% sure since technically it could be in the realm of death and spirits in the 8th or work/vocation in the 10th. What do you do personally? Thanks!

Hello! I haven't been on here for a while and all the same I appreciate the question.

Personally, I function in the way that I utilize the 6th house for questions based on magical services being done on or for the inquirer by others (as well as divination services the same way.) For questions related to magic in general or for personal project I look to the 8th house primarily. For each I also keep an eye on what falls in other related houses towards the question- like, say, what's going on in the 9th as a relationship to the original question and focus. Like, again, it makes sense to me personally to look at what might be going on in the 8th house even when the focus is directed primarily to the 6th, and how it may add to the context of the situation. Some things can also change by the subtleties of the context of what you're actually asking and how.

That's just what I do, stemming from what sources I've looked into previously and how I've moved forward. But I am also not a professional, and I am very open towards each new perspective my spirits may teach or that I may integrate from other sources. It might be worth checking in with the spirits you work with to see what they may suggest for you as well.

Again, I appreciate the question towards this largely forgotten account, lol. Happy New Year!

People say "this stuff is hard" and consciously you acknowledge "this stuff is hard" when you start moving forward but it never actually registers until stuff gets hard
