There is a site that I pull current transits and hour of planet on, which I just discovered a feature or two. I think anyway.
Let me backup here and tell you my domain of knowledge on astrology. I can look at an ephemeris and construct a chart. I can tell you astrology associations with given tarot cards, general zodiac signs, planet glyphs, and so on. Pre Theoricus material.
So getting to the question but an expanded explanation of the features.
The site has two features:
Precise second birth chart, and a draconic chart version(moon node at 0 deg Aries).
I recall in Geomancy a figure known to be destroyed if drawn, as it was evil. Which Geomancy figure is that, and what transits would you be looking for as an alternative to the geomantic figure in a chart?

There is a figure called Rubeus, which, if it appeared at the first mother, you should stop the reading immediately. The reason for that isn't that Rubeus is evil, but there are a couple of different things that could be wrong with the querent. Either the querent isn't truthful to you, has already made up their mind and the reading won't change it, or it is also possible that the question wasn't placed correctly or somebody else is behind the question.

The possible reasons and more are described in an amazing book named The art and practice of geomancy, written by John Michael Greer.

As for the astrology chart, I do not know enough about it to say which transit would mean the same thing. Is that even possible?

I believe you are right on Rubeus, it is istesting though, it states in TGD (7th Ed, Book 8) that it means "red" or "reddish", and a Esau line in some form of Adam is an Adam from the red clay. Just my thoughts on it, I saw the red earth in a book by Zalewski. A concentric ring of different terrain types that had a spiritual correspondence.
It is definitely on my list!! The Aert and Practice of Geomancy is required reading along with Alchemists Handbooks and some other material for Zelator.
I dont see any reason why not, several figures can be found in a flat chart, and per houses whatever figure falls there may have a planetary attribution, and judging proximity of distance between houses and those figures, they may be considered aspects.
Not really the point of the flat chart perhaps.

Forgive my ignorance on it, its something Ive stepped into, but seeing the flat chart used it made me wonder if aspects could occur in the geomantic flat charts (Im presuming NO).

Perhaps the flat chart astrology aspects interpretation is best left to astrology on a flat chart, while the figures selected go into the houses and are then open for interpretation. If Im understanding it right from the 7th Ed The Golden Dawn. Will have to dive into Greers book on Geomancy.

Aspects do appear in the geomancy chart of houses. Every figure is associated with a planet, so you can read it the same way you would read an astrology chart. For example, Puer, which means a boy and is associated with male energies including competitiveness, war, etc, is associated with Mars, from there you of course can even look at the sextiles, etc.

As for the Rubeus. That figure resembles an upside-down chalice, so the meaning of "red" is similar to a spilled wine on the tablecloth, nasty and annoying.

Word. Thank you! I thought I was reaching there again, but it appears on mark this time. Perhaps Im starting to understand the basics of it.

Nope, not reaching, you are on the right track. Geomancy is known as the daughter of astrology :).

BTW, regarding the geomancy, you might be interested in this:

Will try that. I had an idea on a month of Geomancy, once I get the hang of it, to sort of link Zelator to Theoricus a bit proactively; through use of elections astrology on a geomantic flat chart. Daily reading on an issue and cast the chart. A popular newsworthy issue. Probably March or April will start delving into Alchemy and Geomancy.
