Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Dear Sreenadh, You have done a very good job by giving the traditional insights about BT rectification, useful to one and all.However, this is not enough.As students of Astrology, we know ,in most of the cases, the BT given to us is rounded. Then in some cases ,AM will be erroneously given as PM and vice versa. Unless we lay a strong foundation , of rectifying Birth chart's by evolving a sound technique ( easier said than done, with the vexed issue of ayanamsa in hand) within the classical framework , but reponding to reason , Jyotish, as a discipline ,as it stands today , will fail to get the credibility , that it actually deserves.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Dear Madhu ji, Yes, you are right. It is usual that- * the native does not know whether the BT is AM or PM * in some cases ,AM will be erroneously given as PM and vice versa * from the information told and remembered the native know the birth took place in the morning or in the evening, night and so on; but does not know the exact time of birth. * in some case, the native knows the time, but is not sure whether it is at day or night Yes, these are all practical situations, which we might have encountered many times, while dealing with predictive astrology. Yes, you are right in pointing out that the current document does not solve this problem; that was not the aim either. The effort in the said document was to present the available birth rectification methods that could be effectively applied if the BT is given; i.e. here the BT available. The following points should be noted - * The methods discussed in the document can be effectively used if the error in given BT is less than 6 min. * Those methods will give moderate results if the possible error is between 6 to 30 minutes. * If the possible error is more than this the methods discussed in the document are uselss. If there is a possible error of more than half an hour in BT; i.e. if BT is not known at all with accuracy (similar to the situations discussed at the beginning of this mail), then what can we do? Then the astrologer has to resort to the " Nashta Jataka " method as discussed in texts like " Saravali " . There is no other way, as per our current understanding. Once the time approximation is done as per " Nashta Jataka " method, the minor rectification methods discussed above can be applied. ==> > Unless we lay a strong foundation , of rectifying Birth chart's by > evolving a sound technique ( easier said than done, with the vexed > issue of ayanamsa in hand) within the classical framework , but > reponding to reason , Jyotish, as a discipline ,as it stands > today , will fail to get the credibility , that it actually > deserves. <== Yes, right point. If we are unable to derive at least the Birth star, Names, or any other similar verifiable information of the relatives of the native from the corrected chart, how can we be sure that the rectified chart is right? Forget the rectified chart - are we able to provide some unique and verifiable information from the current chart itself to ensure that the given BT is accurate? Yes, you know, it is a vexed question and situation. And this is exactly the thing that demands our hard efforts. Collect, Classify, Study, Criticize, Filter the Essence, Present the beauty in an intelligible and useful way; Yes this should be our path. There is no other way to regain the lost glory of astrology; or even to ensure that whether it had one.
