Birth Rectification

Correct and accurate prediction depends on accuracy of the natal horoscope provided to
the astrologer. There are three requirements for a horoscope to be casted namely date,
time and place of birth. Date and place of birth in most of the cases is correct, but the
same could not be said about the time of birth. This is due to various factors. One, in
olden days there were no quartz watches, only mechanical watches were available and
these watches used to loose or gain time in minutes and sometimes in hours in a day. In
villages, the use of watches was minimal. Secondly, at the time of birth, the main concern
of the doctors and nurses is for a safe delivery of the child and noting the correct time of
birth of the child takes a back seat. Therefore, it is always prudent for an astrologer to
verify the horoscope given to him for predictions.
The prime and the most important step for gauging the accuracy of the horoscope is to
tally the main events that have already happened in the life of the native after going
through DBA (Dasa, Bhukti and Antras) & Transits. If the events tally, the horoscope is
correct, if the events do not tally the horoscope requires " Birth Time Rectification ".
With a simple cursory look at the horoscope, a astrologer can know whether the time
difference is little or more. On the other hand, if the horoscope is not showing the
happening of the events, the native is keen to find his correct ascendent, or the astrologer
is keen to cast a correct horoscope then the astrologer should apply the theory of ruling
planets for " Birth Time Rectification ". This theory gives accurate and precise results.
Ruling Planets There are four ruling planets to be considered at the time of birth
rectification. Day Lord : Day lord is the lord of the relevant day (i.e. day on which the
birth rectification is being attempted) Moon Sign Lord : It is the lord of the sign in which
Moon is transiting on the relevant day.
Nakshatra Lord : It is the lord of the Nakshatra in which Moon is transiting on the
relevant day.
Ascendant Lord : It is the lord of the Ascendant rising at the time when the query for
rectification of the birth chart is put to the astrologer.
Correction of a horoscope using the theory of Ruling Planets involves the following
steps. I am going to discuss these steps before making use of these steps using a practical
example, which was done by me on 12 March 2000.
Step 1
First of all an astrologer should note down the time of the question and take the degrees
of the Ascendant. In case a question is send to astrologer via mail or email then astrologer
should note the time at which he receives the question. In case Astrologer himself is keen

to find the degree of the Ascendant of a horoscope, he or she should note the time at
which he or she actually started working upon the horoscope.
Step2
Find the ruling planets at the time the query is made.
Step3
Third step involves casting of the horoscope from the approximate time provided by the
native.
Step 4
Take the Table of Sign Lord, Nakshatra Lord & Sub Lord from the annexure provided in
this website.
Step 5
Now we have to arrive at the Ascendant, Nakshatra & the Cuspal Sub lord from the
ruling planets arrived upon from the "Step 2".
Step 6
This step involves casting of horoscope by taking down the degree of Ascendant arrived
at by the use of Step 5.
Illustration
I attempted this correction of horoscope on 12th March 2000 at 5.21 p.m. in Delhi. The
time of birth furnished by the native was not clear. I was given a time span of 12.00 hours
to 14.00 hours. Taking a time of 12.00 hours the ascendant comes to Aries. The ruling
planets on 12th March 2000 shows no presence of Ascendant Lord which in this case is
Mars. Hence, the ascendant cannot be Aries. Until around 1 p.m. the ascendant remains
to be Aries. After 1 p.m. ascendant changes to Taurus. After this I made a horoscope of 2
p.m.in which ascendant came to be Taurus. The degree of ascendant was 18 degrees and
18 minutes, Taurus and the native was born on 23.01.1965 in Delhi. The ruling planets at
12th March 2000 at 5.21 p.m. were:
Day Lord

Sun

Moon Sign Lord:

Venus

Nakshatra Lord:

Moon

Ascendant Lord:

Sun

We found that out of the ruling planets, sun is the day lord as well as ascendant lord
therefore ascendant was supposed to be correct. There are three Nakshatras in the sign,
Taurus that of Sun, Moon and Mars. Sun is one of the ruling planets and so is moon.
Therefore, the degree of Ascendant lies in the Nakshatra of sun and moon. The first Sub
Lord is of Taurus from 0 degrees to 1.13.20 degrees in the Nakshatra of Sun, which is
one of the ruling planets, similarly the second sub lord of Taurus, ends at 23.20.00
degrees. Therefore, the degree of Ascendant lies in the sub lord of Taurus, Nakshatra of
sun and moon and sign of Venus (Taurus).
Taking the time of 2 p.m. we find that the

The native had a good education. He is a chartered accountant and constantly got very
good marks through out his school and college life. Combination for good education is
4,9,11. After going through the above co-ordinates of the planets, we find that the good
education houses are missing in this horoscope. The native cleared his C.A. exams in
DBA of Rahu-Moon-Jupiter. The co-ordinates of these planets do not support the
clearing of the very tough examination of chartered accountancy. Hence the time of 2
P.M. was incorrect. This horoscope still needed to be corrected. I then took a time of 1.05
P.M. and the ascendant in this case was Taurus. Following are the co-ordinates of the
planets :

The native cleared his C.A. exams in DBA of Rahu-Moon-Jupiter. We find all the
necessary combinations for good education and clearing of written exams viz 4,9,11 and
5,11/6,11. Further, the native got married in the DBA of Jup-Jup-Venus. We find that the
DBA is having the combination 2,11 in Dasa and Bhukti and in Antra facilitator houses
such as 9, and 12 are signified, moreover Venus is karak of marriage and it does not
needs the complete combination of the marriage which is 2,7,11. The native went to
London in the DBA of Jup-Venus-Saturn.Dasa Lord & Bhukti Lord signifies travel to a
developed nation and Saturn essential seperative, to separate from motherland. This DBA
is showing the combination of 9,12 in DBA, which is combination of foreign traveling,
for foreign traveling 9 and 12 houses are main houses for foreign travel. After going
through the horoscope according to time of 1.05 P.M. we find that the events match and
hence the horoscope of the native was matched to the exact degrees.

Sample Birth Time Rectification by Kamal Kapoor
Dear Ms. PQR,
Correct and accurate predictions depend on accuracy of the natal horoscope provided to
the astrologer. Indian or Vedic Astrology is 100% based and dependent on precise or
correct time of birth. A wrong or incorrect time of birth would only result in faulty and
misleading predictions, which would in turn cause anxiety, tension, frustration and total
distrust for Astrology and Astrologer. Correct and accurate predictions depend on
accuracy of the natal horoscope provided to the astrologer.
Rectification of Birth time is a lengthy manual process which is based on matching the
client's important and significant past events which have happened already in his or her
life. Even a difference of a few minutes some times make a huge difference in the over all
analysis and predictions. A few minutes difference some times change the ascendant or
Lagan as some times the lagan is on cusp. In that case an individual some times would
experience traits and characteristics of two different lagans. There are three requirements
for a horoscope to be casted namely date, time and place of birth. Date and place of birth
in most of the cases is correct, but the same can not be said about the time of birth.
This is due to various factors. One, in olden days there were no quartz watches, only
mechanical watches were available and these watches used to loose or gain time in
minutes and sometimes in hours in a day. In villages, the use of watches was minimal.
Secondly, at the time of birth, the main concern of the doctors and nurses is for a safe
delivery of the child and noting the correct time of birth of the child takes a back seat.
Therefore, it is always prudent for an astrologer to verify the horoscope given to him for
predictions.

The prime and the most important step for gauging the accuracy of the horoscope is to
tally the main events that have already happened in the life of the native after going
through DBA (Dasha, Bhukti and Antra) & Transits. If the events tally, the horoscope is
correct; if the events do not tally the horoscope requires "Birth Time Rectification ".
After taking in to account the events provided by you as below:
June 10th 3.25 in afternoon 2003. I bought a house.
