Between 2005 and 2024 I rectified 432 horoscopes. This sample is taken from my two books, a sample of two dozen spree killers, non-Presidential politicos, and individuals mentioned by James Hillman in his book The Soul’s Code. This was a large enough sample for statistical tests of the Antiochus/Porphyry Victor Soul model, a project completed in 2025.
There are a few more projects which require additional rectifications. Top of mind is a complete collection of victors for planets in all signs, both in direct and retrograde motion. The 432 horoscope sample fills out most, but not all, of this project’s requirements.
I anticipate no changes to the original three stage rectification method I proposed in 2007. It is possible that further refinements to the victor model or development of a temperament model might propel me to write a 5th edition of A Rectification Manual. More likely the 4th edition will stand as the final version with any other refinements published on this Substack platform.
Since A Rectification Manual concerns American Presidents, future posts for this Rectification section will present rectified times for contemporary politicians for use by the greater astrological community. Other rectifications for individuals outside this category will appear in the Natal Database section.
