rectified horoscopes of Adolf Hitler and John F. Kennedy.

1
I read a book about primary directions with examples the horoscopes of Hitler and J. F. Kennedy.
I myself had already rectified the horoscope of Adolf Hitler ( see my website: www. andriescats.nl.
I used a Dutch astrolog progressive system the Gieles minus 1 (year) system.
Gieles is the name of the inventor which was one of Hollands reknown astrologers.
I use also the transits.
As I read the book mentioned, the horoscope of Hitler was rectified with primary direction saturn conjunct MC on 21 december 1907: the death of Hitlers mother.
With Gieles minus 1 system I earlier ( 5 december 2005) rectified Hitlers horoscope with aspect progressive MC conjunct radix saturn on 21 december 1907: the death of Hitlers mother.
When I read the mentioned book of primary directions I became intriqued by the Kennedy horoscope.
When I tested the primary directions rectified horoscopes of Hitler and of Kennedy with the Gieles minus 1 system I became no rectifying
results.
So I tried to rectify John F. Kennedys horoscope, what was very difficult, but after two days I found the solution.
One progressive aspect: on 8 november 1960 the day he won the elections he had progressive cusp descendant conjunct radix jupiter.
The Kennedy horoscope of the primary directions has for this item primary direction jupiter conjunct descendant.
You can see my rectified birthchart of Kennedy at the bottom of my website.
As result of the rectified horoscopes I saw that Hitler and J. F. Kennedy have the same ascendant/descendant and the same cusp third/ nine house.

Hi Andries,

I am most interested in your rectification of Hitler's chart! Can you give any further details regarding the Gieles minus 1 (year) system? Can any of the run of the mill softwares (eg Solarfire etc) do these calculations? Have you managed to rectify anyone elses chart using this method and confirmed your rectification by making a correct prediction?

Best Wishes

Bobby

Hi Andries,

are you talking about Rumen Kolev's booklets of primary directions? He writes:
The most widely used birth time of Hitler among the British and American astrologers if today is 18h.30min. However the author of this book rejects thist ime as most probably a mystification of the Nazis or a mistake. Instead we will use the time given by the German astrologer Wilhelm Wulff. Wulff was a contemporary of Hitler and for many years was compelled to work under the direct orders of the Man in Chief of the SS - Heinrich Himler. It is reasonable that this time is the most reliable. (---) His data for Hitler is: 1889, 20 April, 17h 56 min. local time, Braunau.
Kolev reconstructed this time as 18.03.53 Middle European Standard Time and rectified it with the primary directions as 18.03.27 Middle European Standard Time.

Wulff's chart for Hitler can be found here on Skyscript:

I know I've said this elsewhere, but I think it bears repeating: primary directions were not used as super precise indicators of events by the authorities who used them extensively. Yes, I believe Andries is referring to Kolev's booklet since both Hitler and JFK are discussed in depth. Andries is also calling attention to his own website.

Kolev himself gives a fairly wide latitude between the hit date of a direction and the occurrence of the event - in some cases he allows as much as six months either way! Yes, he does cite a nasty direction that has a hit date of Nov 22, 1963 in JFK's chart, but he also admits "rectifying" the chart from the usually accepted 3:00 pm to 2:59:31 PM a difference of 29 seconds. Using his program's rectification module, we can jiggle any chart and some up with a spectacular hit date, although we may not get good hit dates with anything else. This is not the case with his JFK rectification. Don't get me wrong, I love Kolev's books and I own his program. I'm not quibbling with his knowledge of primary directions (extensive), his skills as an astrologer (outstanding) or his ability with math (far superior to my own). I'm only wondering out loud as to the reputation for precision that are attached to primary directions.

I've read in both Morin's work and Gadbury's the use of the phrase "under the influence of a direction." There are no references to hit dates. The idea seems to be that the directions are a broad indication of events that can occur within a fairly wide range of time (as Kolev himself states). To my way of thinking if the event is exactly on the hit date, it is more coincidence than astrological influence. I do admit Kolev's work with Hitler's chart is very impressive, as is his work with JFK's chart. It seems though, that those who used primary directions extensively used them in conjunction with returns and transits - not as stand alone predictive techniques. The life unfolds over time - often in a more or less orderly fashion. Except for spectacular accidents or major luck (good or bad), most lives unfold over time and the bigger events are the result of decisions and occurrences that came before. A bad marriage does not happen on the wedding day. Mentally healthy teenagers do not one day become drug addicts because of a bad Neptune square. A nasty primary direction didn't cause the teetotaler to drink too much and wreck his car. We write our own script as Eric Berne used to say. Very few things happen to us out of the blue. The directions, returns and transits can show us how the events may unfold or, better yet, how to use he "forces" so they unfold constructively.

Primary Directions in Topocentric system

11
Tom: My long experience (since 1985) with primary directions in Topocentric system had convinced me they are the super precise indicators of events.
Did you learn Alexander Marr's books? Having extensively checked the other kinds of primary directions in Kolev's Placidus clearly showed me there is no other system that pinpoints events with appropriate symbolism and with very small orbs as Topocentic system: max. Orbs are 11' (or 65 days) for conjunction and opposition and 5.6' (or 35 days) for all the other aspects. The average orb is 2.5'
Although primary directions can stand alone as a predictive technique (as Alexander Marr did in his book: Prediction II- Directions and the Art of Rectification, 1985- now out of print), it is recommended to verify and collaborate with the following systems:
1. Secondary Directions using the Solar Arc in Right Ascension for house-directions
2. Secondary directions derived from the Sidereal Solar Returns- PSSR (Cyril Fagan?s system)
3. Lunar Cycles: lunar return, kinetic lunar and Asc-lunar, both direct and converse, precession-corrected.
4. Transits to Angles and cusps, both direct and converse.
In 1996 I compiled Polaris- a special rectification program. For a short description how it works see my posts in Tyl's forum.
Although many events happen to us not out of the blue, for the rectification process it doesn't matter: A bad marriage, in most cases, will result in serious quarrel, a separation or official divorce, etc.
Andries: For Lyndon Johnson you gave a list of some 70 progressive aspects. How can anyone be convinced that the rectified time you gave is indeed correct? You didn't give any corresponding event.
