Dear Jorge,

 

The scholarship you display in rectifying mundane charts on SAMVA is

very impressive. Even more impressive is your persistence, now being

close to having completed the rectification for every nation state

on the planet. Even then, you have returned to some countries to

revise the rectification.

 

This is a tremendous effort with long term benefits for mundane

astrologers. As the analysis of the birth chart of individuals

delivers the benefit of insight into weak and strong points, periods

of sucess and adversity, so to does the true chart of a mundane

entity offer similar benefits. To know about these can help

individuals prepare accordingly.

 

Thank you dear Jorge for your magnificent contribution. Thanks are

also due our dear teacher, , for his contribution

of SA. In my view, such a systematic and successful rectification

has been made possible by SA.

 

Best regards,
