On March 17, 2024, I made the following prediction about Iran:
"Proxy forces may suffer from losses, though there may initially be some little success. The losses may happen mainly due to spies."

What happened in reality, on April 1, 2024, was very different and very same. A case of mistaken identity by me, a case of forgetting basic common sense. Let me explain.
What did Iran's chart show me, when I made the above prediction? That military personnel affiliated to Iran suffer from some kind of losses or attacks on foreign soil. The losses were shown to be because of spies.
Now if I had said the above, exactly as I saw it, this would have been a safe prediction and validated with Israel's strike on Iran's consulate in Damascus (Syria). The attack happened on Iranian military commanders, it happened on foreign soil and it must have happened because of the information that the spies must have passed on (that the attacked generals were meeting at what time and where).
However, because so many of Iran's proxy forces (Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.) are involved in the Israel-Hamas conflict, I concluded they were getting affected. This was a mistake from me, as a mundane astrologer, on two counts, each of them from a different principle of astrology:
(1) Instead of saying what I saw, I put on my own political understanding of it. As a political astrologer, understanding political context is, of course, important, but at the same time the prediction should be as free as possible from any kind of political colouring or deduction. I should have simply said what I saw. Thus, I erred here in the principle of how to express one's interpretation.
(2) An equally cardinal sin was in my forgetting basic astrological common sense. How can Iran's chart show foreigners on foreign soil? Hezbollah, Houthis, etc., are not Iranians! Iran's chart can show Iranians abroad, Iranians on Iranian soil and foreigners on Iranian soil. But, to repeat myself again to ram home the gravity of my mistake, how can it show foreigners on foreign soil? And thus, I should not have thought of proxy forces at all, given that I was seeing the attack on foreign soil.
Thus, I came to an unsuccessful or even wrong prediction. Note that when I predict several things for a country, a few of them may not come to pass. I do not count them as unsuccessful predictions. It is the very nature of a probabilistic science, like astrology is, that not everything will happen. Even if the probability of a revolver with 6 slots and loaded with 5 bullets not firing blank is very high, it can still fire blank. What I count as an unsuccessful prediction is when the chart is showing me something, but I have misinterpreted it. In this case, I even went on the wrong path even after seeing what is happening!
There is one more key lesson to be learnt from this mistake. The mundane chart emphasises what is new, not what is the norm. The proxy forces of Iran are anyway bearing as well as inflicting losses on an everyday basis, given that they are involved in the conflict. There is nothing new in it: it has become the norm. So when the chart showed Iran-affiliated military personnel in danger on foreign soil, I should not have thought of the currently normal situation. Rather, I should have thought, why is the chart showing this? Who are these military personnel on foreign soil? Why is the chart putting so much stress there?
I hope such a post, detailing where I went wrong this time, rather than just listing my achievements, helps other aspiring astrologers and also sheds some light for the non-astrologer readers on how a political astrologer's mind operates.
