Rectification exercise

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

 

Lois Rodden on her website mentions that one of the unknown birth

times

she is looking for, is for J.K. Rowling the Harry Potter author. I was

wondering if the group would like to rectify a time based on the events

of

her life I managed to collect from the internet. I myself, am

tentatively

looking at a Simha lagna. The following is the biographical details:
