Albus's Meaning in Each House
1st House: Self
Life will be plagued by recurring illness and health struggles. The individual will be short, broad-chested, and thick-armed, with curled hair and a full mouth. They talk excessively yet their joyful nature makes them pleasant company.
2nd House: Wealth
Wealth comes through entertainment and games, though not always honorably. A thief will be found and stolen items recovered, but hidden treasure remains concealed.
3rd House: Siblings
Few true siblings or close relatives exist. Journeys are long and tiresome, filled with deception and dishonest dealings.
4th House: Home
Inheritance will be insignificant, and the father well-known, though his work may be of lower standing.
5th House: Children
Children will be rare, and if born, may not live long. Women under this influence are subservient, and pregnancies face high risk. False rumors spread freely, and no lasting honor will be attained.
6th House: Health
Illness lingers and proves difficult to overcome. Servants are deceitful, and livestock will suffer. Physicians may be untrustworthy, raising doubt among patients.
7th House: Partnerships
A spouse will be barren yet physically beautiful. Legal disputes will be rare but, when they arise, they will persist for long periods.
8th House: Death
If a person is sought, they have passed away. A wife's dowry will be meager, and disputes will arise over its distribution.
9th House: Travel
Journeys will occur but yield little gain. An absent person will not return. Religious devotion may be misguided, leaning toward false teachings.
10th House: Career
Leaders and judges will be cruel and unkind. Their decisions will be harmful rather than fair. Governance will be corrupt, and a mother's reputation may suffer scandal.
11th House: Friends
Friends will be unreliable, disguising their true motives. Affection and favor will be fleeting, rarely lasting.
12th House: Enemies
Enemies will be weak yet troublesome. Those imprisoned will not escape, and life's difficulties will be numerous and varied.
Albus represents the purity of contemplation - the still water that reflects truth when undisturbed by worldly passions.
In your geomantic readings, this figure calls for intellectual clarity and spiritual detachment. While it favors peace and wisdom, remember it may also indicate a need to engage more actively with the world when circumstances demand.
