Challenges of Rectifying a Child’s Horoscope

Rectifying the birth time for children can be straightforward on one hand, as we usually have the time noted on the birth certificate. On the other hand, this time is almost always 10 to 20 minutes off from the actual moment.

Events suitable for reliable rectification typically haven't occurred yet in the life of a child or teenager. Therefore, astrologers need to rely on any available life circumstances and translate them into the language of astrology.

Let’s take a look at this young man’s horoscope. His parents came to me with the question of where their child should study. The birth time listed on his certificate is 9:10 a.m., and the birth was normal. His mother doesn’t recall any specific details about how the birth time was recorded.

Let’s create his horoscope. For now, we can only say that he matches the general description of the characteristics of his rising sign.

At the age of one, the child moved with his parents to another country. Let’s check if this move is reflected in his birth chart. The answer is yes, it is visible.

Among the challenges, we see an indication of the danger of premature death in his natal chart, with a relatively high score for risk.

When describing his personality, the parents note that he is very combative and can be aggressive towards other children, often getting into fights. He provokes conflicts and likes to take charge.

When analyzing his psychological profile, we don’t find any obvious signs of such aggression, so we need to turn to the field of structural astropsychology—focusing on the indicators that are formed in the chart considering the house system, rather than those that are simply shaped by the cosmogram.

These negative traits become apparent in the local chart for his current place of residence. When we analyze his local horoscope, we see that Mars is positioned in the 1st house, right on the cusp of the 2nd house.

Mars in the 1st house is one component of a “formula for misfortune,” making a person combative, aggressive, conflict-prone, and reckless, with a tendency for injuries, particularly to the head. Supporting this theory is the fact that this boy has already accumulated several scars on his face and head from childhood due to his high energy and lack of caution.

This suggests with a high degree of certainty that Mars should be in the 1st house in the local chart, without moving into the 2nd house. This chart is quite illustrative. We observe that Mars is positioned right at the cusp of the 2nd house, so an earlier birth time cannot be used, as it would shift Mars into the 2nd house in the local chart. A later birth time is highly unlikely, as typically the recorded time may be slightly delayed, often noted after the baby is cleaned and swaddled.

Now, let’s use the Rectification tool—determining a reliable interval for birth time using just two criteria: a Cancer rising sign and Mars in the 1st house in the local chart.

We find that Mars stays in the 1st house of the local chart from 9:09 a.m., only one minute different from the time recorded on the certificate. This means that the birth time between 9:09 and 9:10 a.m. can be considered reliable, with further fine-tuning down to the second possible when more significant events in the young man’s life occur.

I will use this time interval when selecting the best place for his education—details can be found further in this article.
