How to rectify a birth chart using Sirius 1.3 software. Rectification is the process of determining the time of birth based on events in the person's life. In this video we use transits and progressions to rectify a birth chart. The Sirius 1.3 used in this video is developed and copyrighted by Cosmic Patterns Software.

When the birth time is not given on a birth certificate, birth record, or other reliable source, astrologers rectify the birth time. Snger and songwriter Taylor Swift is reported by one source as being born at 5:17 AM and by another source as being born at 8:36 AM. Using a system of astrology known as Vibrational Astrology to analyze the personality and behavior of Taylor Swift, we determine that most likely she was born around 8:30 AM and possibly up until 9:30 AM. There is also a slight possibility that she was born around 10:30 AM. The rectification is done by analyzing harmonic charts and midpoint structures that we expect to have strong planetary configurations to match the person's behavior. Singer-songwriters with the style of music that Taylor Swift writes and performs often have strong patterns in harmonic charts 5, 11, 33, or 55. The planets Venus and Uranus are usually involved in the configuration. By looking at these harmonic charts and using the Time Adjust feature in the Sirius 3.0 software we determine that the birt time of 8:36 AM appears to be accurate or up to about an hour after this time is also possible.

Some sources give a birth time of 2 PM and other sources given a birth time of 2 AM for Paul McCartney. By looking at the vibrational charts that we expect would be strong for a prolific singer and song writer like Paul McCartney it is clear that he was born around 2 PM and not 2 AM. If a birth certificate or other accurate birth record for Paul McCartney is found in the future we expect that it will show a time between about 11 AM and 4 PM and most likely close to 2 PM because that is the time given to an astrologer by Linda McCartney. We also see that other singer and song writers Carole King and Bob Dylan have very similar planetary configurations in the 55-vibration chart as Paul McCartney if he was born around 2 PM.

At the time I am making this video we do not know what time Hillary Clinton was born. There is evidence for several different birth times such as shortly after 2 AM, around 8 AM, around 8 PM, as well as other possible birth times. By looking at similarities in the charts of recent Presidents and what the astrological significance of these planetary patterns is, we determine that Hillary Clinton was probably born around 8:30 to 8:40 AM and perhaps as early as 6:30 AM or as late as 10:30 AM. Former President John Kennedy, Kennedy's wife Jacquline Kennedy Onassis, Bill Clinton, and Barak Obama all have a similar aspect between Sun and Mars. JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy also have the the Moon involved with Sun and Mars. If Hillary is born between about 8 AM and 9 AM, she would be born with a similar Sun-Moon-Mars pattern. There is also a slight possibility that Hillary was born around 11 PM but this is less likely. In this tutorial video we learn not only how a birth time can be determined by analyzing similarities in charts, but we learn about the importance of having similar planetary patterns and how these similar planetary patterns bring people together to form strong friendships and/or become important colleagues in their professions.

Saturn turns Rx when it is 108 to 109 degrees from the Sun. Saturn also turns Direct when it is 108 to 109 degrees from the Sun. The number 108 is a special number in some religious traditions. There are 108 prayer beads in the Hindu traditions and there 108 steps in some Buddhist and Hindu temples. It is a curious coincidence that Saturn, often understood as the time keeper Chronos, stops at this sacred number. The stations of Saturn (the times when it turns Rx or turns Direct) occur within about 1 degree of the angle of 108 degrees, which is known as a tridecile aspect in astrology. These are times when work can be creative and playful rather than only tedious or burdensome. These special times that last about one day between the time that Saturn is stationary until it forms the exact 3/10 aspect are times that emphasize the gift of creative work.

By producing graphs with the Sirius 2.0 software of when planets are retrograde we are able to identify the times when many planets are retrograde. By producing a graph that gives more emphasis to, for example, retrograde Mercury than to retrograde Pluto, we see that the time period in early May 2016 has more emphasis on retrograde planets than any other time since the year 2000 and possibly earlier. More evidence-based approaches to astrology like this study do not suggest that retrograde planets stop progress and make problems, but they are good times to edit review, correct, and fix problems that we have now from things we did in the past. The retrograde planet is going backwards, allowing us to go over the earlier path and make improvements. Use retrograde times to edit, revise, correct, fix, debug, refine, and discover problems and weaknesses. The Sirius 2.0 software is used in this video.

Secondary progressions are calculated based on the idea that a day after life is live out as one year of life or, as commonly stated "a day = a year". However, the "day = year" concept us typically used only for calculating progressed planets and not for calculating hosues. Astrologers have introduced many additional formulas to calculate progressed houses in order to get progressed houses to move about 1 degree per year of life. Fractal progressed house positions are similar to Naibod in RA progressed houses but, unlike Naibod in RA progressed houses, Fractal Progressed Houses do not require introducing an additional formula.Fractal Progressed Houses are based only on the idea that a day = a year and that the day = year formula works in a fractal way. The details of how this works are explained in this video. We see how these ideas apply to two major events in the life of singer Justin Timberlake and to the death of Marilyn Monroe. Most of us have been taught that secondary progressed houses move about one degree in a year of life. This is only true because we break the rule that a day = a year and introduce a new formula just for the progressed house cusps. If we use the rule that a day = a year of life the progressed Ascendant moves about 1 degree a day, not 1 degree a year. Why do we go to all of this trouble to make a progressed Ascendant that moves 1 degree a year? Why not just use the formula a day = a year of life and have the house cusps move 361 degrees a year, which is about 1 degree a day? Answer: Because from observation it is clear that house cusps are moving 1 degree a year of life, and we want a formula to calculate this! We want a calculation to match our observations! POPULARITY OF NAIBOD IN RA Naibod in RA is popular because: 1. It produces the same progressed houses that you get when you progress the birth chart with manual calculations for the person's birthday (but only on the birthday). 2. It is the default selection in many programs 3. The only serious "competitor" is Solar Arc MC which is even more removed from the day = year concept. 4. Most of us figure that some techie nerd astrologer has figured this out for us and we can trust it. 5. It works well. Fractal Progressed Houses produce slightly different results from Naibod in RA houses. Fractal progressed house aspects occur about 1 day earlier per year of life, so, for example, the date of a Fractal Progressed MC to planet aspect for someone who is 30 years old occurs about 30 days earlier using Fractal Progressed Houses as compared to Naibod in RA progressed houses.

The Bija Corrected Secondary Progressions bases progressions on the relationship of the sidereal day and tropical year rather than the more usual relationship of the tropical day and tropical year. The Bija Corrected Secondary Progressed chart is theoretically more consistent with the theoretical framework of Vibrational Astrology. The Bija Corrected Moon is about 1 degree earlier than the usual progressed Moon for each 30 years of life and the progressed Moon can be used to determine whether the Bija-Corrected or the usual progressed chart provides more accurate and useful information. David Cochrane's comparisons so far appear to suggest that the Bija-Corrected progression is more accurate but more detailed and controlled research is needed to determine if these preliminary observations will be confirmed.

This is Part 1 of a 3 part series on the correct way to calculate secondary progressions according to procedures that are most consistent with the underlying Vibrational Astrology theory and so far confirmed from observations: Fractal Progressed House Cusps with either Bija Correction. or Anomalistic Correction. The difference between Bija correction and Anomalistic correction even for a person who is 100 years old is about 2 days at most in the predicted date so there is a negligible difference between Bija correction and Anomalistic correction during the duration of a person's life. In this 3 part series we confirm by looking at progressed chart wheels and Time Line format forecasts the differences in dates that are calculated using the following progressed methods: 1. Naibod in RA Progressed Houses without Bija correction) 2. Fractal Progressed Houses without Bija correction 3. Fractal Progressed Houses with Bija correction.

Every 18 years 11 days and 8 hours an eclipse occurs that has very similar properties. This sequence of eclipses that occurs every 18 years 11 days and 8 hours is known as the Saros Cycle. Each eclipse in the series of eclipses in the Saros Cycle is slightly different from the preceding one and the next one. A Saros Cycle begins with a partial eclipse near either the North Pole or South Pole and gradually tend to move to the opposite pole to complete the entire Saros Cycle which typically ends about 1,300 years before it began. In this series of 3 videos on the Saros Cycle we learn about properties of the Saros Cycle that are well known as well as some properties that have not been discussed previously. We also consider some of the ways in which the nature of of the Saros Cycle suggests possible ways in which this can be important astrologically.

A QuadWheel of the 52-vibe charts of the July 2 1776 USA Independence Day Chart, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams reveals a stunning planetary configuration that involves Saturn in all 3 charts of these people, and 2 of 3 Neptunes at 5 points of a 6-pointed star, a well as aspects from other planets.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's birth time recently was released by her staff. The analysis of her birth chart using Vibrational Astrology shows that: 1. She has a Moon-Venus-Mars-Jupiter-Saturn spreading hard aspect pattern in the 18-Vibration chart. Combined with the emphasis of Venus-Mars-Jupiter in her 9-Vibration chart we see that she has a strong interest in making it possible for people to find joy in their visceral real down-to-earth lives (Ven-Mar-Jup) and she will implement solids plans and strategies (Jup-Sat) to achieve (Mars) these goals. This planetary configuration shows that she is a person with strong community interests and she is a solid Democrat. 2. Her 13-Vibration chart is extremely strong and her passion to do something unique, to make a breakthrough, to follow her instincts and per point of view until a goal is achieved is very strong. She is not as compromising as many Democrats are. 3. The grand cross of Sun-Mars-Uranus-Pluto in the 13x9 (117) Vibration Chart is expressed as her Green New Deal and other very bold and uncompromising platforms and her direct and bold actions. She won't back down and others might see her as abrasive or impatient. She sees it as simply the time for action. The combination of solid 9-Vibration, strong 13-Vibration, and 13x7 Vibration is an extraordinarily powerful combination for innovating change for the betterment of communities and to bring peace and well-being. The Neptune-Pluto 13-Vibration aspect in effect from about 2016 to 2023 ensures that her message will come through very clearly at least until about 2024 when the Neptune-Pluto transiting 13-Vibration aspects weakens and begins to fade out. By that time Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will have made a permanent impact on the landscape of American politics and most likely she will have made some surprising alliances with various groups to support her. Most likely she will run for President some day. In the past I have made forecasts that seemed even more unlikely, such as that Donald Trump would win the nomination for President of the USA and might even win the election when the polls showed that this was extremely unlikely. Vibrational Astrology is improving rapidly as ongoing research reveals more details of how the planetary configurations function.Just as with any political and economic forecasts or other areas like weather forecasting, the forecasts are not perfect, but I do have good confidence that the analysis and forecasts made in this video will prove to be correct in the long run.

A TriWheel of the navamsa charts of Barak Obama, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris shows very strong connections between them. Navamsa chart (9th harmonic chart) connections are common among politicians in the Democratic party in the United States. A more comprehensive analysis of this TriWheel is provided for subscribers to videos at http://www.AstrologyDC.com

Kamala Harris, who is running for Vice President of the United States for the Democratic party in the United States 2020 presidential election, has a strong 41 Vibration. Joe Biden, who is running for President, does not have a strong 41 Vibration. In Kamala Harris's 41-Vibe chart is a 5-planet t-square involving the planets Mars, Uranus, Pluto, Mercury and Neptune. This configuration tells us that she is a high energy person seeking progressive changes that bridge different ideas into something new. This very strong driving force in her life is very different from Joe Biden and brings a new quality to the Democratic party.

An overview of the history of astrology from its earliest beginnings as omens in Mesopotamia to modern astrology. We also consider what the likely future of astrology will be and what must happen in the field of astrology in order for astrology to succeed in the modern world.

The main ideas and concepts used in Vedic astrology are described as well as the philosophy and general conceptual framework behind the ideas. This tutorial video can be informative and helpful to people with an interest in how astrological ideas reflect cultural attitudes and philosphical beliefs as well people interested in learning how to interpret astrological charts using Vedic astrological methods.

In Vedic astrology charts like the navamsa chart and saptamsa chart are very frequently interpreted. These charts are known as vargas and are also called divisional charts and harmonic charts. However, the term "harmonic charts" is also used in modern western astrology and Vedic vargas and western Vibrational Charts (more commonly called harmonic charts) are not exactly the same thing. This is the first in a series of videos on Vedic vargas and the similarities and differences between vargas and Vibrational Charts. We will explore the philosophy and concepts as well as specific details. We will also learn about variations in vargas and some historical details that are often overlooked. In the later videos in this series of videos we will compare interpretations of vargas and Vibrational charts and see that in some cases the interpretations are more similar than may seem at first.

An investigation and comparison of various kinds of harmonic charts and Vedic vargas. The 13th harmonic chart, dodecatemoria, Saura signs, ciipadas, and Liptakas are part of the Vedic astrology tradition.

One interpretation of the saptamsa chart given in ancient Vedic books is that it indicates children and grandchildren. Using a particular way of looking at the saptamsa chart, we find indications that the saptamsa chart may frequently show up in chart comparisons of parents, children, and grandchildren, so the ancient astrological rule may be correct in a very literal way. We explore how this observation can be consistent with ideas in Vibrational Astrology. Note that the saptamsa chart is the same as the 7-Vibration (7th harmonic) chart, except that typically it is calculated in the sidereal zodiac in Vedic astrology.

The Saptamsa Chart and Athletic Ability. How particular planetary configurations in the saptamsa chart give the potential to excel in athletics.

Planetary configurations in the birth charts of spiritual teachers. Birth charts of spiritual leaders who came from India to the United States. The birth charts of Swami Bhaktivedanta, Guru Majaraji-ji, Swami Muktananda, Vivekananda, Yogananda, Amfrit Desai, and Rajneesh. These are the people listed on a website of spiritual teachers who have A or AA accuracy data. Strong planetary configurations are in vibrations 7, 13, and 91 (31 = 13x7) in their charts. We also look at compatibility of Muktananda and Muktananda's successor Chidvilasanada.

In this video we learn with the help of diagrams and a detailed explanation that a navamsa chart can be viewed as the zodiac signs created by placing 9 consecutive zodiacs around the chart wheel, with each zodiac having a length of 40 degrees, each navamsa sign having a length of 3 deg 20 in, and 9 navamsa signs being in each zodiac sign. There are a total of 108 navamsa signs. Each navamsa sign is also called a pada, and 4 consecutive navamsa signs = 13 deg 20 min and is a nakshatra sign. We also learn how to interpret navamsa sign placements, and why in Vedic astrology the navamsa sign is important for marriage and a person's spiritual path. We alo learn the ways that a navamsa signs and the regular zodiac signs are related: each zodiac sign begins with the cardinal navamsa sign of the element of the sign, and vargottama occurs at the cardinal crosses and the fixed cross. We learn about the mythology of 9 and 40 and how the navamsa chart represents the Great Mother and how it gives support and strength to us. We also see that the stations of Saturn at 108 - 109 degrees separation from the sun is consistent with the way in which Saturn works astrologically and the significance of the number 108.

The history of astrology is often described as originating in Babylonia, being transformed in the Hellenistic period, continuing through the Middle Ages, and then being revived in the late 1800's and continuing to today in a Modern period of astrology. However, not all modern astrological ideas were developed through this lineage of information. There are some ideas, such as nakshatras, that are Indian in origin and were passed down to us more directly from India rather than from the Babylonian and Hellenistic astrological traditions

Nakshatrasa and navamsa signs are extrmely important in Vedic astrology. Nakshatras and navamsa signs are both composed of the same 108 padas. These relationships help us understand the importance of padas, nakshtaras, and navamsa signs in Vedic astrology and how they are interpreted. The Sirius 1.3 software is used in this tutorial video.

In the Rig Veda, which was written somewhere in the time range 1700 - 11 BC, there are descriptions of a "wheel of life" that clearly is metaphorical language for a division of the sky. These divisions sound like they are similar to zodiac signs. Also, Babylonian astrology was developed through a huge amount of effort. These traditions provided material that was used in the development of Hellenistic astrology.
