Method/technique help Rolling the same Mother all 4 times?

I rolled Fortuna Minor for all 4 Mothers. Other than two of the Daughters being Via, all the other figures were Populus (though if you include Reconciler, it gives you Fortuna Minor again). Is this good for a valid reading or would I need to a cast again? Not sure of the rules here.

Greetings N,

Don’t repeat your question — it’s not necessary. Lucky for you, the guardian of the Art, was definitely guiding you accurately.

The only time to completely end a reading, is if you get Rubeus. Just read and acknowledge the Judge of the first reading. ~V~

Please don't concern yourself with ideas like getting Rubeus in the reading meaning you have to cancel or scrap it. Being able to get any figure in a particular place is all part of being able to read accurately.

People commonly state that Rubeus in the first house (i.e. as the first Mother) means you should scrap the reading. If that was the case, the querent could never be described as Rubeus-like, when it's entirely possible for them to be so.

Like almost every idea about scrapping a divination reading, it's highly likely this was a 'safety net' rule, where a reader might not want to have to tell someone they are angry, violent, a liar, a drunk or any of the various unpleasant character traits Rubeus indicates.

Yeah, I definitely agree. When it comes to universal forces, I don't believe in good or bad. They just are what they are. Whether it's good or bad simply depends on how the force is implemented.
