Shield Chart (Shield Chart) Guide
From Four Mothers to Judge and Way — the geomancy event chain.
Chart structure
Sixteen positions: Mothers; Daughters (row-wise from Mothers); four Nephews (M1+M2, M3+M4, D1+D2, D3+D4); Right Witness (N1+N2), Left Witness (N3+N4), Judge, and Reconciler (Judge + First Mother).
The Judge often carries the overall answer — read it with the Witnesses for support or tension.
Reading tips
Start with the Judge's planetary quality, then check Witness harmony. The Way hints at outcome or path — always tie reading to the actual question.
