Chronomantic

/ˌkrɑːnoʊˈmæntɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characterized by chronomancy, the practice of predicting the future through time-based divination.

Etymology

Formed from chronomancy plus the adjective suffix -ic. This learned term follows the pattern of other divination-related adjectives like 'necromantic' and 'geomantic.'

Kelly Says

A chronomantic reading would be like a fortune teller who doesn't use cards or crystal balls, but instead reads the hidden messages in dates, cycles, and temporal patterns to see what's coming.
