Spatial pattern                                        Moran's I         Geary's c

Positively correlated                               0 < I < 1           0 < c < 1
(similar, smooth, regionalized)

Negatively correlated                             -1 < I < 0          1 < c < 2
(dissimilar, contrasting,
checkerboard)
