Rectification is the process of determining an individual's exact birth time using astrological methods when the exact time is unknown or uncertain. The birth time is a crucial element in creating an accurate natal chart. Without it, the rising sign (Ascendant) and house placements may be incorrect, leading to inaccurate interpretations.
Rectification relies on analyzing significant life events and aligning them with astrological indicators to pinpoint the precise time of birth. This process ensures the accuracy of the chart for deeper analysis and predictions.
How Does Rectification Work?
-
Gathering Basic Information
- The person’s birth date and an approximate birth time range (if available) are collected.
- Significant life events (e.g., marriage, childbirth, relocation, career shifts, health issues) are noted.
-
Astrological Techniques
- Transits: Examining the movements of planets and their influence on the natal chart during major life events. For instance, periods of transformation can often correspond to specific planetary transits.
- Progressions: Analyzing the progressed chart to match it with key moments in the person’s life.
- Solar and Lunar Returns: Using Solar and Lunar Return charts to adjust the birth time.
- Rising Sign Analysis: The individual’s physical traits, personality, and life patterns are assessed to verify the Ascendant sign.
-
Validation
- All gathered data is compared, and the birth time is adjusted to match the most likely moment based on astrological indicators.
Why is Rectification Important?
- Accurate Rising Sign and House Placements: These are fundamental to personal chart interpretations and provide greater precision in readings.
- Past and Future Analysis: It aligns past events with astrological indicators and enhances the accuracy of future predictions.
- Karmic and Spiritual Insights: A precise birth time reveals deeper insights into one’s life purpose and spiritual path.
Who Can Benefit from Rectification?
- Individuals who do not know their exact birth time or only have an approximate range.
- Those who have experienced significant life events and wish to understand them from an astrological perspective.
- Anyone seeking detailed and personalized astrological insights.
Rectification is typically performed by an experienced astrologer and involves meticulous analysis. It is a valuable tool to make astrology a more precise and personalized guide for life.
