Geomancy is derived from the roots geo- (Earth) and -mancy (prophecy); it is a method of divination which interprets markings on the ground or how handfuls of dirt land after being tossed. Geomancy was also one of the original ways to translate Feng Shui, since it predicts things by the elements similar to astrology with the stars.

Fūsui of Fūsuishi (風水士) refers to the Chinese Feng shui of studying the direction, geography and/or weather to calculate the individual's fortune who resides or works in that place.
