Astrometry Birth Time Rectification Software: Candidate Times and Event Evidence

14 October 2026

Astrometry Birth Time Rectification Software is a candidate-time comparison tool that scores dated life-event evidence. This guide explains what to prepare, how to move through the existing software and how to interpret the report without overstating what the method can establish.

What to prepare

The software asks for recorded birth time including seconds; search window; 15, 30, 60 or 120-second candidate step; historical or custom UTC offset; coordinates; dated life events and their precision; optional ruling-planet judgement time. Enter the details as recorded rather than adjusting them to obtain a preferred result. When a tool uses time and place, check the time zone and coordinates before calculating.

How to use Astrometry Birth Time Rectification Software

  1. Step 1. Enter several independently dated life events and label date precision honestly.

  2. Step 2. Choose a search window and candidate step; narrower steps create more candidates, not automatic certainty.

  3. Step 3. Compare event evidence, Dasha, cusp and divisional support for the ranked candidates.

  4. Step 4. Use the report to review evidence, not to claim millisecond precision that the form and data do not provide.

What the report contains

The resulting report includes candidate ranking, event-by-event Dasha and cusp evidence, supported houses, method scores and personalised report. These sections are designed to be read together: a summary is useful for orientation, while the tables and evidence explain how the local rules reached it.

Candidate resolution is not certainty

The tool can compare candidate times at 15, 30, 60 or 120-second steps. That sampling interval says how often it tests a chart, not how accurately the true birth moment is known. Event precision, historical offsets and the chosen search window all matter. Preserve competing candidates and inspect their event evidence before deciding whether a proposed correction is useful.

Frequently asked question

What if I remember only the month of an event?

Mark the available date precision honestly. Do not pretend a remembered month is an exact day to increase a candidate’s apparent support.

A disciplined review checklist

  • Confirm the person, question, date, time, place and settings shown in the report.

  • Distinguish measured or calculated data from traditional interpretation.

  • Keep warnings, confidence labels and “not assessed” results instead of filling gaps.

  • Save or download only after checking that the on-screen details are correct.

  • Compare later reports only when the same settings and source details are used.

Responsible use

Rectification cannot recover information absent from the event history. The available candidate steps begin at 15 seconds, and uncertain event dates should remain marked uncertain.
