gbejmAfter looking back through past divinations, I wasn't able to discern any particular pattern or rule to use to determine how long the chart should apply. At this point, I'm not sure where to go from here. My initial experiments haven't panned out, though that negative result is still useful data. Trying to explain the charts to others also led me to refine the process for rendering images of them, so that was useful too.
Oddly, this whole process seems to work better when applied personally. Those private charts have tended to be more spot on. One hypothesis, out of the many that are possible, is that Ogham is a more personal divination method and works best applied "locally" whereas astrology is a more impersonal one. (That isn't meant to be a value judgment of one over the other, as each has its place.)
Even though the predictions didn't work as well as I hoped, I'll still leave them up. Maybe I'll think of a new approach to try later. Maybe someone else will see them and find inspiration to build a better method.
