Process Of Birth Time Rectification

As you can see that the 'Birth Time Rectification' calculation is a task only an experienced and expert Vedic astrologer can accomplish, so make sure to consult someone knowledgeable. 

Explained With An Example

Let us now take an example of a horoscope to understand how we can actually aid someone in knowing their correct birth time.


The charts above belong to an individual who was confused about his actual birth time and complained that his horoscope does not match the events of his life. For example he got married in February, 2024 and his horoscope did not support marriage during that particular period. His partner and her characteristics in the horoscope did not match that of his wife in reality.

According to the horoscope and the birth details given by him, this individual should have been married by July, as all the houses related to marriage were being activated such as the 7th house, 2nd, 11th and the 5th house as per the Vimshotri Dasha or the ongoing Mahadasha. If we do check the Navamsa chart, we can see a clear influence of Saturn and Jupiter on the 7th house which indicates a mature partner, either in age or by looks and basic nature but his wife looked younger than her age and was nothing like Saturn, which shows maturity, old age, etc. 

How Birth Time Rectification Made A Difference In Finding The Correct Time & Horoscope

After a lot of research, analysis and trying different time periods between 00:00 AM to 2:30 AM and we reached the conclusion that his actual time of birth was 00:40 AM. 


As per the Date of Birth, Place and time analysis the above horoscope that has Sagittarius ascendant and running in the Moon Mahadasha currently, his 2nd house, 5th house, 7th house, 8th house, and the 11th house was activated on the day of his marriage, which clearly shows a fair chance of marriage taking place that day. 

He was running in the period of Moon-Jupiter-Saturn-Mercury-Venus that day. His Navamsha chart also has Mercury and Venus conjunct in the 7th house which shows that his wife would seem younger than her age and other characteristics also matched her characteristics. So, now we know this is the correct horoscope. This is how birth-Time rectification works and this is why it is important. 

Birth Time Rectification & The Requirements

Out of three requirements for a well prepared horoscope i.e. date, time and place of birth; normally we remain sure about Date and place of birth, but in most of the cases, time of birth is not reliable. This is due to various reasons. One, the watch was not available at the time birth for writing down exact birth time; or if the watch was there, it was showing inaccurate time say, plus/ minus some minutes or so or, Doctor and nurses noted the time but not the exact time of delivery, as their main concern was safe delivery of the child. 

That’s because an accurate 'time of birth' is as important to Vedic Astrology as is the date of birth and that is why this important process comes into the picture. Without the correct time of birth the reading will not be reliable and may not give you the actual picture of things to unfold in future. But we can certainly help you if you are facing the problem of an 'unknown birth time' for yourself or for any of your loved ones. This is known as the 'Birth Time Rectification'. 

As per the Vedic astrology this is the process of trying to determine if your given birth time is correct or not, and possibly adjusting it so the new horoscope better fits predictions and life events that you have already experienced. 

Major Points To Consider For Birth Time Rectification

There are some important points that help us in figuring out the exact time and guide us through the whole birth time rectification process. It becomes extremely important to take down details of major and important events, positive or negative, of the life of the person and match with the horoscope made on the basis of arrival time.

 When one is not sure about the exact date of the events, then it is better to simply request them to provide us only approx. period of these events. After this extensive exercise, what you get is your birth time, accurate even up to seconds.
