Secrets of Rectification
S. V. Shestopalov, rector of the St. Petersburg Astrological Academy

The main secret – is the exact time of birth, never known.

But first, let’s look at major differences of the S. A. Vronsky methods from those of other schools:

1. Retrograde planets switch rulership.

2. Pluto rules Aries.

3. The Koch system of houses.

4. Correction of the geographical latitude with respect to the nonsphericity of Earth.

5. Local chart.

6. The progressive year has exactly 365 days.

7. Rectification, through the date of 1^st marriage, by the yearly turnabouts method: Mb ± Smarriage. (Mb – MC in quick progression, Smarriage – significator of marrige, “±” means “makes aspect: 0, 30, 60, 90,120, 150, 180”).

8. This line of scientific astrology, which Vronsky called Cosmobiology of the special course.

Development of the Vronsky methods at the Astrological Academy of St. Petersburg:

9. Retrograde planets have dual rulership.

10. Based on the general theory of progressions, the basic correlation of cycles of the yearly turnabouts (quick progression) method was established: 1 year = 12 years – for calculating of positions of planets.

11. Rectification methods, through other socially significant events were developed: acquisition of a driver’s license or travel passport, creative achievements, starting a new job, any other marriage.

12. The concept of the formulas of events had been stated: formulas of events, diseases, professions.

13. The formula of the secret time of birth had been attained: IV house is afflicted by Neptune and the XII house.

Not all prediction methods are equally reliable in rectification. From among transits, transit cusps could serve the means of rectification, but the minute of the event needs to be known in that case, which is why they are rarely used.

Directions are unreliable in forecasting, therefore untrustworthy in rectification.

Since the slow progression yields sure indicators of events and functions as the defining mechanism in our fate, rectification through this method has to be the most effective. However, the adjustment of a horoscope to the events, using slow progression is tedious and ambiguous work. Moreover, the slow progression pattern sees little change in the limits of 2-3 minuets.

The quick progression method promises to be the most precise. At the same time, the socially important events are the best for computing, since the use of Mb makes calculations simpler.

Among all socially significant events, the first marriage gives the best results – 95% of horoscopes are highly credible.

Rectification through other social events is 50% credible: driver’s license: Mb ± IX or Mercury, travel passport: Mb ± IX or Jupiter, creative achievements (thesis presentation): Mb ± IX or Jupiter, work: Mb ± VI or X, another marriage: Mb ± VII. More than one even should be used, In order to increase credibility. (“Mb ± IX” means “Mb makes aspect with elements of IX house - rulers or planets or cusp”

14. The formula for the significator reliability: if the planet is afflicted by Neptune and creates negative bonds with XII dome, than it may not be used as the event significator. It means, that subject actions are not free-willed, and are forced. And vice versa, planets, possessing positive bonds with the XI dome, Uranus and Saturn, may be recommended for use as event significators. At the bottom of this formula is the antagonism of the essential nature of Uranus and Neptune.
