Birth Chart Rectification is the process of taking apart a person’s birth chart based on known events in a person’s life so that the person’s birth time will be known.
We all know that in order to cast a complete natal chart, it requires an exact birth time. Though it is still okay to have only a person’s date of birth in casting an astrology chart, it is highly desirable to have on hand at least an approximate time of birth before attempting to interpret a person’s birth chart.
If the birth time is unknown or not recorded, astrologers sometimes will try to figure out the time of birth by studying the events in the person’s life and trying to harmonize their chronology with one of the possible charts for that day. This process is called birth chart rectification.
There are 5 Techniques on Birth Chart Rectification and they are as follows:
1.Employ Whole Sign Houses
Whole Sign Houses are more accurate in general practice and they are useful in the rectification process. The rectification process using whole sign houses becomes easy for it will be just a matter of determining the correct rising sign, then after that, all of the other houses fall into place. Since there is a striking difference between one rising sign and another, all of the planets move to different houses when the rising sign changes.
2.Understand the Concept of Benefic and Malefic Planets and Planetary Sect

A natal chart or birth chart is made up of a Sun sign, Moon sign, and the eight planets.
Ancient astrologers believe that each moving planet was known to have a neat and straightforward relationship with a fixed zodiacal sign where the Sun and Moon ruled one sign each and the five known planets two signs each.
In ancient times, it was believed that the planets stand for the will of the gods and their direct influence upon human affairs. However, modern astrologers believe that the planets characterize the basic drives or impulses in the human mind which are denoted by different characters through the twelve signs of the zodiac, and in the different spheres of life through the twelve houses.
The Sun sign and Moon sign, often mistakenly referred to as planets, are in fact more accurately known as luminaries. They are the most important planets in an astrology chart. Compatibility between two people is shown by their polarities.

Both the horoscope and natal charts use planets to predict an individual’s nature. However, planets in astrology have different meanings from the modern astronomical meaning of a planet.
For ancient astrologers, the will of the gods and their direct influence upon human affairs is represented by the planets while modern astrologers believe that the planets signify the basic drives or impulses in the human mind. Different qualities are expressed by these drives and seen through the twelve signs of the zodiac, and in different areas of life through the twelve houses. Furthermore, the exact way the planets manifest themselves also depends on the aspects or angles that they form with each other in the sky as seen from Earth.
