The precision & imprecision of my earthquake predictions
About the successes and shortcomings of Palmist Ankur's quake predictions work
My astrological research on earthquake is a work in progress: short of enough time, the only thing I take into account is a planet’s longitude on the ecliptical path. While I would dearly love to dedicate most of my time to astrology, currently, I am unable to do so because I need to do other jobs to survive in a country with a high cost of living. Thus, currently, I am unable to take into account various other parameters, such as the latitude of the planet (i.e., if you look at the sky, while every planet will go from east to west, reaching a zenith in between, yet it will not be the exact same positions as the Sun: thus the Moon may not be as high or may be setting towards southwest while the Sun in northwest). While modeling quakes and weather, I do not even pay much attention to the succedent and cadent houses. And thus, while I am amazed often at the precision of many of my predictions, the same can often be imprecise in ways that others do not realise.
Let me take an example from today on April 5, 2025. There was an earthquake of magnitude 4.3 in Rwanda in Lake Tanganyika. The U.S. Geological Survey details of the earthquake are here. Now this is an earthquake-prone region, but not as heavily, I would say, as Tibet, California or Iran. Anyway, that’s beside the point.
I had not marked this area explicitly in my predictions for April 4-13 for an earthquake. To the layman, I have failed. And even as an astrologer or as someone who wants to apply it usefully, it is a failure given that if my objective is to forewarn, then I have failed in that. Thankfully, the quake is not big, but if it were big, and if a disaster warning system were to rely on such astrology, then there would be no warning, and people would suffer and curse astrology. Thus, this is my shortcoming.
However, in some ways, the quake also gave me some degree of satisfaction that at least I am getting the earthquakes’ longitude consistently right. If you read the April 4-13 post, this is what you will find there:
"… imagine a straight line from Galați (Romania) to Lindos (Rhodes Island), extrapolating it to the south of the island…. Earthquake possible in the vicinity of this line."I had also attached a picture of this line, which I reproduce below:
Now, if you were to have extrapolated this line further south, right into Africa, the line would take you at exactly the quake epicentre coordinates (2.065°S 29.121°E)!
Below is the line from Galați till the quake epicentre: you will realise it is exactly the same line!
The earthquake, thus, happened exactly on the line predicted: one did not have to move even a millimetre to the left or right of that line! This always astonishes me, even though I made the prediction, such astounding mathematical nature of our Nature, which is often, mistakenly, seen as chaotic or random. There is nothing random in Nature: every speck of dust has its place.
The happening of this line also proves that this straight line is very much activated, as I had thought, and there could be more earthquakes on this line till April 13, 2025. Just to clarify, this line is not any fault line: this is simply an imaginary line that I have drawn. From now onwards, in my quake predictions, I will always provide the lines, and it is the reader’s job to extrapolate them further, if they want to do such an exercise. In the long run, though, I hope to also find a method that I can estimate the exact latitude(s) at which an earthquake would happen along the lines (and then, I would not need to give the lines).
Now this might seem a bit frustrating to readers, who would want to know the exact place where an earthquake would happen, not the exact line crossing half the world on which an earthquake would happen. I do try to estimate the area on these lines where the earthquake is the most likely (e.g., for the above discussed line, I had estimated earthquake off the Rhodes Island to be the most likely), but while the prediction on the line will almost always prove right, my estimate about the place on the line will not always prove right, given, as I have said, my shortage of time and unrefined methods.
I felt it necessary to clarify this and share this with all readers: where I succeed, and where I fall short. (I am making this a sticky post, so any new readers also know what to expect and what not to.) I like to be extremely honest about my work, my successes and shortcomings. All astrologers should be, for only then astrology can progress as a science. It has to be as precise as possible, so that it is freed from the clutches of delusions and illusions, which, unfortunately, is the case today. Also, only the zeal for achieving more and more accuracy and the utmost precision possible can lead to a deepening of a knowledge: complacency and illusion of success do not lead there.
