When someone asked me about rectification of the
time of birth and the answer was more than one page (...), I decided to blog about what I think of it. Students in astrology often spend months to find the ultimate minute and
second of their birth time to erect their horoscope with proper Ascendant and
Midheaven. The goal is to be precise in future, too. It is a nice way to learn more about astrology, but, can it be done,
really? Is it possible to find the ultimate minute and second of birth? I think not. Because, if it could be done, why are there so many systems, why does
Bernadette Brady say in her book ‘Predictive astrology’ that she experienced
that there is a substantial group of people who's lives don’t seem to
correspond with the transits and progressions? Why was there an astrologer who
invented a system named ‘Minus one’ (one year!). Why weren't the guess charts for Obama the right charts? And why did I stop searching for my 'correct' birth time? I
found that my official time of birth was right in the middle of the possible
corrected birth times with a difference of 10 minutes to either side. What is
the purpose of the amount of work to find the ‘correct’ time, when there is so
much to consider?
Coming events cast their shadows
before
You don’t get married all of the sudden
and surgery is the next step in a disease or after an accident.
Major events are complex (mind the rule of 3!)
You are not going to die and you will not
get a better job because of one single aspect. There are more than 2 important
indications in the chart for important times (short term and longer term). My
advice: analyse the combination of these indications (see the midpoint range on
this blog).
It is a good thing that we can’t know
it all…
Some things just happen and we don’t know
why, yet. Think of the story of the butterfly and the storm…
Too many things to consider…
Take Pholus…Who had heard about Pholus a
few years ago. Now I see the transits of Pholus related to the start of turning
points in life. And how about midpoint combinations? Or the minor
aspects?
You need to have a helicopter view of the
situation and consider the progressions and transits before and after a certain
moment in time (how did you get at this point and how might it continue).
Sometimes
nothing happens
(like
when transit Jupiter was in my 12th house).
One single
transit mostly doesn’t mean a lot.
It takes more
to tango…
The
charts of influential people might be ‘leading’.
- Coaches’ charts and the results of the
team…
- Chart
of your husband (in particular when you depend on his job!)
- Chart
and position of the leading politician in times of war and the effects in your
daily life.
So, if you (still) wish to spend a lot of
time to find your ‘true’ birth time, don’t spend too much time on it. I did
what you did and after many many hours, weeks and months my conclusion was that
I was born at the official time and that the corrected times were up to 10
minutes before and after that official time. The thruth was in the middle…
!There are many examples of transits
and progressions in practice on this blog. What you see is that they are seldom
exact and often sketch a situation creating the conditions for further events.
It is the combination that ‘does it’ and that makes it difficult if not
impossible to find the exact second of your first breath. Also, when you want
to have a look into the future, you can’t. Future changes. Times change. Right
now, when I write this, things have again changed forever and my view of the future
will have to change, too. Times flows...Your idea of what happened many years ago, may have changed to. You now see them in the light of today....
