I will later... Abjad letters seems to be a way like Tarrot cards to me or dangerous territory, I don't believe in that line of thought of predicting future, and I believe future is unwritten, not even God knows the future, however, Satanic forces are good at sealing humans and defining their fate so far, so their predictions tend to come true for that reason only. That is why Tarrot cards have a high probability of turning out true.
It can be said, the rope of God is a way of untying the fate that Satanic forces try to set us upon.
God been trying to change the probable fate of humans, for a long time, but seems, we heading towards our final test in the wrong way, and will fail the trial like Noah's people did and many cities will be destroyed or punished severely, with few believers from each. But while there is still time, I will try my best to become part of God's plan and change the trajectory we are upon.
The reason why Gemini etc, all that stuff work, is very few can outstrip the personality traits set by Satanic forces. The moon schedule is meant to counter spell it, and moon magic in terms of month, the moon itself that is and it's noble spirit, is suppose to counter the magic of Iblis forces with solar calendar.
And as for Istekhara, seeking it from reflecting over Quran and finding a proof, is the proper means. Not opening Quran literally as in a physical book and a verse pops out, and you make a decision on that, as the same divine arrows type thing where Satan interferes. This is one of the major disagreements I have with my mother, because people seek my mother out for the practice that I believe is not only a wrong interpretation and innovation, but is a means of Satan wreaking havoc into other people's lives.
Totally, any kind of "whatever is said by chance and however I interpret it" or even "whatever my heart whispers to me or pops into my mind" are pretty dangerous ideas, totally easy for bad people or anything to cause harm and confusion by, and also because people themselves are often foolish and following their lusts.
The only right way probably is to be cautious in everything, using clear reasoning, taking everything with a "grain of salt" and never too deadly seriously or overly convinced about actions that must be taken, but working on clear, cautious, stable, explicable reasoning that has worked out things in a clear manner that "this is a way that may be beneficial because this, this, and this, and if one makes this to remind them of this or makes this to mean this it can lead to this consideration" etc.
What does your mother do and how does she consult people?
I haven't seen the lecture I posted yet, but it appears that it is a world class academic lecture on the history of "Islamic Magic" practices they had been doing a lot in the centuries prior, and there are probably remnants widespread today, plus a lot of Islamic content influenced both Jewish and Christian and then post-Christian Occultism.
Unfortunately, a lot of people use and had apparently used these things to create systems, models, and concepts which implied a plurality of various powers separated from Allah's control which were being called upon, as Angels, Jinns, Demons, Saints or whatever but imagined to be under the Rulership and Ultimate and Eventual Judgment of a more remote and less encompassing and less abstract Allah that resides on a certain plane of existence above all others, a cosmology not dissimilar to Indian, Jain, and Buddhist ideas of a bottom to top layered cosmography, and then also a spherical one with increasing condensation and reductions in size.
The people of the past frequently would call upon the help of other beings, feeling that God is too remote and mighty to be prayed too directly and for petty things considered below Allah to become involved in. The other idea was that the saints or angels who have an audience with God in the manner of a King and courtiers who bring issues to the King as representatives or advocates for various causes and are also sent on missions. This sort of scene was also depicted in the Biblical scriptures at times and was likely what people took from the idea of an assembly of angels being spoken to, since this sort of organization of government was very common through most of the world's cultures.
These would qualify as "intercessors" except were believed to have "permission" or that they could not interfere with decrees but could make appeals or bolster the case based on favoritism from Allah or their merit.
These sorts of beliefs were widespread throughout the whole Islamic world as well as common among all the other religions as well, and pure, strict, monotheism was never very common among any group of people, and is very likely the minority even among officially monotheistic religions.
So even though these were all called Muslims, Christians, Jews, and whatever else, their beliefs and practices and more specifically their conceptualization may have been vastly different, individual to individual.
In my version of things, there is strictly only Allah being called upon and "used" as the means by which any experience comes about, and can freely make any system appear to be true, or any strange thing appear to happen or be the reality or even how people end up interpreting such.
Allah has created an experience for some, or possibly even most, where conflict and combat is necessary and has armed people by filling the Qur'an with certain ideas, policies, and prayers by which one may petition Allah for protection and strike out at unseen threats and enemies.
I know from real experience and finding evidence of such, the sort of shocking scheming people do for the pettiest of reasons.
Look at this terrifying example of some young girl calmy using her influence to organize harm against an online competitor.
If they can do this about the pettiest trash (and I've seen pettier assaults and lies spread about me and in other places) then imagine the things that go on for much more serious threats or when money or commerce or the status quo is threatened or people become jealous about the attention someone else is getting. Which is why I really dislike humans quite a bit.
Unfortunately, they are all we have to communicate with and get some small, fickle, fleeting, cooperation out of ocassionally.
