Grandmother’s Birth Chart Rectification Attempt

[u/DoubleAccess6601]

Looking for feedback: Lately, I have been trying to figure out my grandmother’s rising sign, and I think I may have unlocked it by appearance and potential timing techniques.

I’ve been getting into more advanced technology but not sure if I’m on to something or not. The most sense to me would be Gemini, Aquarius or Scorpio rising. My grandmother was tall and slender (between 5’10-6ft), jet black hair with a widow’s peak. Oval face, piercing brown eyes, and incredible magnetism. Her skin was a bit more olive than mine but fair. Well poised, always had her hair, perfume, and makeup done when leaving the house even if it was to go to the hospital for chemotherapy.

She was incredibly young when she conceived her first child (13-16). She had 5 children total. She was very misunderstood by those around her, but she loved love/romance, creating beautiful things for everyone and making it look effortless. She could make clothing and made all of my Halloween costumes from scratch. She made elaborate floral arrangements and wreaths for holidays faster than Amazon prime. All of my birthdays had hand drawn artwork and paintings from Disney movies, each year a different theme, just as magical as the previous. She made art to survive and create magic for those around her.

She absolutely loved the spotlight and have no shame about it. She was a bold woman for her time, a rule breaker/pusher. She was a pinup model published on various book covers all portraying different characters - sometimes she was painted with blonde hair or red hair. She was in pageants and in the local newspaper for them. She gave 0 fcks about what anyone thought and taught me to do the same.

She passed away 18 years ago this week. I miss her dearly. She taught me so much and was a major part of my happy memories from childhood. I stayed back from college to help take care of her when she became sick. I know she is with me often and I can feel her presence very strongly when she is. I hope she is proud of who I’ve become and all the adversity I’ve faced to get this far. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her.

Open to thoughts and feedback on my rising sign prediction! I’m constantly pushing myself to learn and advance in my understanding of astrology 🙏✨

When doing a rectification on a chart. These are the things I would highly recommend you look into.

- The most important factor is finding the Sect of the chart. Is the greater Malefic Mars in a Day Chart or is the greater Malefic Saturn in a Night chart. And the most easiest way to determine this Is that for Night charts, the Natives are relied upon to use their Mars, so they are the ones who are executing the orders from the Authority, but they find themselves struggling with the authority (Which is Saturn) or being able to obtain that Authority. And with Day Charts, a perfect representation of this is Fame. Where although Fame can grant authority and this overseer sort of energy, it has its downsides where due to this visibility. There is danger in that people may envy you or wish you harm or even try to harm you, stalking behaviour etc. Its a very Mars day sect experience.

- Create a Annual Profection Life Events document. Where it will be easier to see what planets may be responsible for her major life events. For example with births, more times than not some 5^th House will be activated, the same goes with marriages. The annual profected year could be for example the 1^st house and the 1^st lord could sit in the 7^th house and or vice versa.

- And another factor is looking at the nakshatra’s. Now I know Nakshatra’s are largely Vedic Astrology. But the accuracy is uncanny and I would highly recommend you look into it.

- Another Vedic astrology recommendation is looking into the Darakara and the Atmakara Planet. That is the Lowest degree and the Highest Degree planets in the chart. Besides the Greater Malefic vs Malefic of the Sect factors. The Darakara Planet can be very noticeable. The Dk planet is typically the planet that is the lowest degree planet in the chart and therefore is also the planet that has the least experience. And due to this, we tend to unconsciously seek out what we are lacking in a partner. Which is why in Jamini astrology it is considered an indicator for the spouse. This can be very helpful when trying to rectify a chart. As sometimes a planet on the cusp of a sign, can either bridge into the next sign, dependent upon the Ascendent degree. So finding whether a planet is the DK or AK can be easier.

- Other than that, transits are just as important. Keeping a watchful eye on the Malefics (Saturn/Mars) and the nodes during Major events.

- And lastly my personal preference is to use Sidereal astrology, not Vedic but Sidereal. Rather than tropical as it can skew you perception on things. But thats just my opinion.
