About the Birth Time Rectification Course

The purpose of this course is to teach you how to rectify a birth chart, which is where you try to reverse engineer what time a person was born based on events that are known about their life. 

Rectification is a an important and often necessary tool because many people do not know exactly what time they were born, and without an accurate birth time you cannot calculate the Ascendant and the twelve houses, or use a number of other techniques in astrology.

In this course we will teach you how to rectify a birth chart by starting with basic concepts, and then work our way up to intermediate and advanced techniques for finding what time a person was born.

Our approach uses a blend of ancient and modern astrology, in order to get the best of both worlds, and we strive to outline an approach that is both straight-forward and practical.

The course is divided into 10 parts, and is structured around a series of pre-recorded video lectures. There is at least one core lecture in each part of the course, followed by a quiz at the end of each section, so that you can test what you have learned.

Later sections of the course contain a number of case studies and recordings of live rectification consultations by Chris and Patrick, so that you can see how the principles are applied in practice in real life situations.

At the end of the course there is a written test, and if you pass the exam then you will receive a certificate of completion. 

By the time you finish the course you will have a strong understanding of the theory and practice of rectification, and the ability to rectify your own birth chart, as well as the charts of other people.

The course is co-taught by astrologers Chris Brennan and Patrick Watson, and we draw on our years of experience helping clients to find their birth times.

Signing up for the course also comes with a number of bonuses besides the lectures, such as access to a private discussion forum, discounts on rectification software and consultations, interviews with different astrologers who specialize in rectification, and the ability to attend live question and answer sessions with Chris and Patrick.

The course is self-paced, and new students can begin at any time by using one of the buy now buttons at the top or bottom of this page to sign up. Immediately after you register for the course you will receive an email with your login information, and then you can get started right away!

Study At Your Own Pace

Since the course is presented through a series of pre-recorded video lectures, each person is able to adapt it to fit their own schedule, and there are no specific times that students need to be available for the course. This allows each student to study at their own pace.

Students may choose to participate in the class and get feedback by submitting questions for the live Q&A sessions, participating in the private discussion forum, or by completing multiple choice quizzes at the end of each section of the course.

We plan to periodically host a live question and answer session through Zoom, and the recordings of these webinars will be posted on the course site afterward, so you can watch them even if you can't attend the live meeting.

For many people the main purpose of the course is simply to gain access to the lectures and study material, and for that reason the completion of assignments is not required.

Those who do complete all of the quizzes and pass the final test at the end of the course will receive a certificate of completion.

A broadband internet connection is required for the course, in order to stream the video lectures.
