Subject: 7 Symbols are Geomancy

Jazzer008

Deej just confirmed that we all we were supposed to know is that these symbols are Geomantic.

I'm therefore guessing that in the coming weeks, coinciding with the tours the chosen seven will get to enjoy, we will be given something to further advance in these mysteries and they will relate to Geomancy.

There is a geomantic equation involving 8 symbols, so maybe we will receive the 8th symbol soon.

Any theories for now?

See you starside.

In one of the threads I though one of the four confirmed winners had said there was a symbol on their ticket unlike the others shown at the end of the update, perhaps each of the winners has a unique symbol, and we need to get all seven of them. That could be why DeeJ told us to seek out and shake down The Seven for information. Their symbols are important.

No, this is exactly what he said in the now locked thread.



Please stop inventing random telephone numbers to call. You are harassing total strangers. You are also barking up the wrong tree. The fact that you tracked these symbols to their origin is all you are meant to know about them.

For now...

At the end of the "One step closer to solving the puzzle" thread. I need to read up on the geomancy topic, but I heard it relates to astrological bodies? Perhaps the positioning of The Sevens symbols corresponds to a certain date or location based off of the astrological bodies they relate to? Not sure, talking off the top of my head.

Well, my symbol is my avatar, so I guess that's 5 more to go.

I think the seven symbols that the one of seven people have on their ticket are the same as the symbols we have already seen.

Edit = Unless...6 are the same and 1 is different. That would be radical maaann. :P

Ah. Well there goes my theory.

  • 07.07.2012 1:37 PM PDT

Well, I read up on geomancy a little bit ago and was able to develop this. SOrry about its poor quality, I'm not much of an artist. That eighth piece is definitely required to solve the puzzle. It's not much yet, but at least we're onto something.

Best of luck guys.

The ones I've seen so far have been the same. But If what you say is true then it could be very important.

And Deej has said that we should grill the ticket holders.

Maybe a couple of 1 of them has a different symbol.

We need to start collecting known symbols and their relative user's somewhere.

If im your science teacher, don't bug me.

The one step closer thread got weird when people started trying to call people in canada.

Geomatics summary:
There are 16 symbols maid of 4 rows of either one or two dots.
There correspond to latin words, planets, body parts, elements, an binary code.

There are some calculation tables you can do with them to "answer questions"

as the OP suggest (and myself earlier) the calculation chart needs 8 symbols to solve.... this has been proven wrong, all you need is 4 but beyond that it is totaly random (see below mother daughter bit).

here is where I'm at with the whole thing, reposted from one step closer thread.



So I am trying to do this "math" and its totally random.

based on "The next four figures, the filiae, or Daughters, are formed by rearranging the lines used in the Mothers: the first Daughter is formed by taking the first line from the first, second, third, and fourth Mothers in order and rearranging them to be the first Daughter's first, second, third, and fourth lines, respectively. The process is done similarly for the second Daughter using the second line from the Mothers, and so on. The Daughters are placed in the next four houses in order on the same row as the Mothers."
from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomancy

I think that math is a wrong direction beyond working with the orginal seven bungie symbols.

I do however think it is interesting that bungie used a symbol from each planet. in order Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Perhpas each faction is from a planet. Dead orbit= Moon, New Monarchy = Mars, Osiris=Saturn, Seven seraphs=mercury, FWC=Venus. The planet/faction relationship is speculation but I think there is something to it.

Also each planet has two oppostie symbols in geomantics. perhps in the game. reguardless of which faction a player chooses may have the option of fighting for good or evil. Man that would be sweet.

The only symbols that are not planet related are

dragon tail

Dragon Head

Both of which correspond to moon nodes. I can't help but think that this is related to the two points located on the destiny map

who knows thats just pure speculation.

hopefully this helps :)

Those symbols are not Geomantic and this was already discussed in the previous thread to be fake.

There are 16 geomantic symbols in total.

Bungie has used 7 so far.

those are all geomantic
But for now im ignoring this,

I dunno if trying to crack the code is a good idea right now, everyone's excited and will do anything to try to solve it.. Like calling random phone numbers :/
