Well, it's two predictions about the eventual outcome, which is what you asked, right? Since it appears that he's now confessed to the murder of the Peruvian woman, looks like the first prediction will very likely be accurate. We'll have to see whether a difficult two months in November/December 2011 can be identified, but it is something we can check on. I didn't even notice it.

Not sure what your point is, since this said nothing about what might be happening once he's already in jail. <snip> > But as we clearly have a few experts here would any of them > care to do my horoscope and a few predictions for the next > six months?

But again, your question was about how the kind of analysis quoted was useful to astrologers. Do you understand how principles that are demonstrated in the connections between a particular chart and what has happened to the person can give the astrologer a better grasp of how it's all said to work, such that the astrologer can then use those principles to make his/ her own predictions in other cases? (Nostradamus is probably not a good example, for a lot of reasons.)
