Do you account for my (mis-)understanding of house attributions when I cast a chart?

[sdi]

I save most of the charts I cast, so that I can go back over them later on and see how they panned out. One things I've noticed repeatedly is that a chart's prediction is correct, even though I made a complete mess of the house attributions. Because of this I have tended to not worry too much about getting my attributions correct; however, this seems to be pretty idiosyncratic: most other practitioners I've heard from seem to suggest that the chart is always drawn to the "correct" houses, and if we get our attributions wrong, then our prediction will be incorrect. I thought I might follow up on this properly.

I, personally, am represented by the first house, characterized by the figure of journeys, Via. Divinatory practices are represented by the ninth house, characterized by the figure of gain, Acquisitio. The first house perfects to the ninth in two ways: conjunction through Acquisitio in the twelfth (suggesting that, yes, the spirit I am working with is working around my limitations so that I might gain), and translation with Amissio in the second and tenth (suggesting that an outside party is helping me because lack the knowledge to manage on my own). Furthermore, the latter mode of perfection is greatly strengthened as the first and second houses form company capitular and the ninth and tenth houses form company compound. The multiple modes of perfection act as emphasis, saying that this is important! Acquisitio also appears in the eleventh house of friends and benefactors, suggestive of the relationship I have with the spirit on the other end of the line. Also of interest is the figure of outside help, Fortuna Minor, in the third house (of communication or advice), and joyful Laetitia in the eighth house (of spirits).

The court confirms the reading: the right witness represents my side of the situation, and is also characterized by Via, saying that I am eagerly learning as quickly as I am able. The left witness represents the other side of the situation and is characterized by the figure of inertia, Populus, saying that my divinatory practice is set to encourage what I'm already doing. Thus the Judge, giving the overall assessment of the situation, is also Via.

A couple thoughts on this:

1. This should not be taken as an excuse to not make an honest effort of mastering geomancy. Divination is communication, and communication is founded upon respect: if one isn't respectful to the spirits, why should one expect them to reciprocate? Consequently, while I don't think it's worth agonizing over getting everything perfect, one should always do one's best.
2. I rather doubt everyone is working with the same spirit or angel when they divine, and mine and I are rather close. It is entirely possible that they are uncommonly lenient with me! As with all things, your mileage may vary.
