They use the same elements as CNJ and were established to be AST's matches, the biggest difference is that geomancers look at Hydaelyn whereas ASTs look at the starts, but it's ultimately the same aether. The comparison was the core of the AST 60-70 line. In many ways it buried the job's chances of making it into the game as it opened the door for it.
All the more reason why it'd be nice if they added Geomancer's concept to WHM and drop the WHM crap of it being "the pure healer"
