Chart rectification

[Kirk]

Hi CS,

Oh my. . . I was careless again. May I blame it on a possible dramatic inflation in your “DRASTICALLY ERRONEOUS RESULTS”? I see now that you were specifically referring to the timing of events. I read it as also including erroneous results of interpretation, the kind of events indicated changing drastically with a time change of a bit more than a minute.

I think I'll sit here quietly for a while.



I'll try to.

Hello,

Very good points, Tom.

I assume that everyone else's experience is similar to mine, when I comment about receiving from clients an obviously disproportionate number of "registered birthtimes" that appear to be rounded off. In other words, far more "1:15's or 12:30's" than would appear by CHANCE, compared to "13:57's and 8:01's".

This amongst other things (Primary Directions being one) is part of the "propulsion" behind my statement that ALL birthtimes should be rectified or to the extent that it's possible, confirmed.

Hello Kirk,

You are right, I was referring to the TIMING of events.

That 38 second discrepancy in birthtime could lead to suggesting something might likely happen at the beginning of February that actually occurs at the middle of April. Not good!

As far as interpreting a natal chart, you are right... a few seconds here or there (depending on technique, of course) doesn't really change anything fundamental.

My initial foray into Topocentric Primary Directions came AFTER having several charts (from clients) in quick succession that were hard to rectify. One didn't have very many events and TWO foggy birthtimes and the other had changing Ascending signs if I made the birthtime a couple of minutes earlier and changing Midheaven signs if I changed the birthtime to a couple of minutes later. After reading a few of Isaac's rectification posts and seeing the specificity of birthtime and the OVERWHELMING connection of aspectS to events; I decided to look into them more. Isaac (Starkman) recommended some FREE software to get started...to whet my appetite...and I used it to rectify my own chart in an evening with more surety than 20 years of slow refinements had done. After that, I was hooked and bought the rectification software, Polaris, which is unique in its methodology. You have to work with the software, ie. brain IS required, but no other way (that I have seen) cuts to the chase so quickly.

A few standouts of the program/system are that it uses VERY SMALL orbs for aspects... just MINUTES OF ARC and mostly in SINGLE DIGITS. In addition, it uses the actual "root meanings" of the planetary symbols. There is no "reaching" for connections by tying things to questionable house rulership networks or any of that sort that takes away from objectivity. The program "spits out" the most likely times (to the second) and with enough events and/or a short enough search range, the true birthtime floats higher up the list. Using a few other techniques confirms which of the times that are suggested is the correct one. (ie. additionally test the birthtime with systems OTHER than the ones that were directly used for rectification)

Re: " ....I think I'll sit here quietly for a while."

Taking bets on that? No need to do that... we all got something to say.

Have fun!

The Trutina Hermetis, Trutine or Rule of Hermes is a traditional correction method of birth. As will be seen in the example, several moments of births according to the Trutina lie 50 à 55 minutes apart. This interval is interesting from a mathematical point of view but it also means that births should occur with this interval of time. I don’t know if such an investigation has been made but if the Trutina represents the most ‘natural’ birth/conception relationship, like the most natural gestation period is nine months, then a ‘wave’ pattern should become apparent in the listed times of births.

Here follows a technical observation of the Trutina Hermetis based upon a birthchart used in Yuzuru’s ‘Mystery rectification chart’ thread http://skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4534&start=30&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= The chart itself and the events of the person don’t need further discussion here but since the calculations are there it is interesting to have a look.

Note that I used MC+90° as Cusp I as ‘Ascendant’ instead of the normal Ascendant. This cusp would have been Ascendant on the equator 90° to the west or for a birth place near French Polynesia.

Looking for a possible birth time using the Trutina, seven possible moments were found:
0:15-0:20; 1:05-1:10; 2:00-2:05; 2:50-2:55; 3:40-3:45-3:50; 4:35-4:40-4:45; 5:35-5:40.


Explanation of the table:
The first three columns are for the date of birth 19 August 1966 at Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
Column 1 is the time of birth at Rio de Janeiro.
Column 2 is the position of the Moon at the time of birth.
Column 3 is the position of Cusp I of the Equal MC house system, which I used as Ascendant.
The last three columns are for the moment of conception. Since according to the Trutina, the Moon at conception is (in this case) the Ascendant/Cusp I at birth, we only have to look at column 3 to find the position. The next two columns are the corresponding date and time.
Column 4 is the date of conception, all dates are in November 1965.
Column 5 is the time of conception at that date.
Column 6 is the corresponding position of Cusp I for that time.

The number of data is 73 and there are 72 intervals. The average span between the times of column 5 is 2h14m (1/72 of a total of 144h29m). The average moved distance in column 6 is 33°41’ . 144h29m is 6.7069444 days. As the basis time span is 6 hours to get 24 hours, multiply by 4. Further 4 x 6.7069444 = ca. 26.828 days. This comes close to the tropical lunar month of 27.322 days. The deviations are probably because of the varying speed of the Moon.
24h / 27.322 = 0h52m42s. This is the average of those several possible moments of births according to the Trutina. If the ascendant is used these time and degree spans will be closer or further from eachother, just like houses are squeezed and stretched on average latitudes.

I have read different books on rectification, most of them very good. But the most accurate technique that I've ever used was passed down to me by my astrology teacher, Ms. Helyn Connerr. She learned it from her teacher. As far as I know, there has never been anything published on it, but I will say this:
1) I rectified a NEWBORN's birth chart. It did not agree with the birth cert, but it did agree with an eyewitness who specifically checked the clock at the time of birth.
2) I rectified a friend's chart; she gave me her birthtime from memory. I rectified it to within about 5 minutes of her actual birth cert.
3) I rectified my mother's chart. She was born at home in 1925. She just remembered that she was born at "either 7:30 am or 7:30 pm." I rectified
it to a a time about 1 hour 45 minutes different, and we got a cert from the county and I was correct.
4) I rectified another friend's chart; I came up with a birth time one hour off; I had done the chart by hand, and he had not told me he was born
during "war time" and had not made any adjustment to the time.
These were the more spectacular successes with this technique. Helyn now lives in England full time, I believe; here is her current website url:

Maybe someday she will publish this wonderful system!! Bless her.

Hello

Those are some interesting claims.

The uninteresting part?

The post only contained claims.

Where is the Astrology?

I went to the website that you posted, but didn't see anything relating to rectification.

[Here we go again...]

[Tara]

I took it a step further. I wrote to Ms. Connerr asking if she would share her rectification method. No word back yet but this was late last night.

Tara

[Atlantean]

Thanks, Tara

With the claims, we simply must see if there is more to this.

Peace

My apologies. I did not describe the method because I didn't think it
appropriate, without Helyn's permission. The method centers on the
Ascendant, first house planets, second sign in the first house if there is one, and the Ascendant ruler. There is a strict set of rules pertaining to aspects regarding these main factors. There are other factors used which I won't include here.
The method revolves around physical characteristics associated with the signs and planets.
One example is when the native's ears are slanted backward at an angle (one trait of the newborn whose chart I rectified).... one association of this trait is with Sagittarius. The method is quite thorough and detailed. People whose hair grays early, or hardly at all; certain body types. Hair, eyes, nose, hands, fingers, head, etc. It's a great system. What seems to set it apart from other (not quite so detailed) writings on physical appearance are the strict rules used to determine which signs and planets to bring into the actual rectification.
Helyn was a very talented and generous teacher, and an excellent astrologer. Some of us students begged her to teach us this rectification method, and she finally agreed. There were just a handful of us meeting in her kitchen every week. It was great.
Again, I suggest contacting Helyn for any info on this system. I believe her teacher had expanded and refined the method taught to him, and that Helyn may have further done. If she doesn't object, I could find my notes and convey the system to the best of my ability.

Hello pjef

The method sounds interesting (if nothing else). The problem that I have (and I realize that it is MY problem) is that you bring up the method, but can only talk AROUND the idea. If it belongs to someone else, then (to me) it is strange to allude to how wonderful it is on a public forum, only to leave the whole thing cloaked in secrecy.

In other words, how valuable to the forum is the method, if the method isn't shared, only the P.R. about it.

I have an astrological method that can allow you to save your immortal soul. Wish I could share it!

Well, I'm off to the cancer survivors' forum. I want to post about a hard-to-find medicinal root that causes spontaneous remission in 99% of those who eat it. Hope they won't mind that I can't tell them which root it is.

Peace

Atlantean

[Tara]

Thanks for sharing more details about the method, pjef; it piques my curiousity even more. I would be very interested in learning as much as you feel comfortable sharing.

I have written, as I said, to Helyn Connerr but no response yet.

Tara

[pjef]

Sorry, Atlantean, I don't see the relation between merely referring to an astrological technique in an astrology forum and merely referring to a cancer therapy to cancer patients.

[Atlantean]

Hello pjef,

Perhaps I get a little overzealous at times...

If you had a rectification technique that could actually get down to the second, then it would be like a holy grail to me. That's probably the reason for the elevated reaction.

At any rate, I'll still say, since you brought it up, you should satisfy the suspense...

Peace

Atlantean

[pjef]

Believe me, I quite understand the zealousness. I would feel the same way! I guess my main concern is that Helyn is, I believe, the only living expert on this method, and I believe if she published a book on it, she at least would receive some monetary benefit (she gave me countless free lessons because of my financial situation during those years).
That's why I say, I'd rather wait for her permission to explain this technique further.

As a fervant supporter of Project Hindsight from the beginning, I know what it's like to have an astrological carrot dangled in front of your nose.... Mr. Robert Schmidt has been making amazing discoveries, interpretations and translations over the years, but since he works virtually alone, it takes sooooo long to have the material in my hands so I can actually learn it !!
