Wow, look at the size of that title! 
As I promised on The Prenatal Epoch board, I have decided to create a new thread in which members who are familiar with the process of rectifying natal charts through transits and progressions of important life events may be able to share some tips and techniques with those who are less experienced.
I understand that there is no "cut and dry" method or precudure one can follow to arrive at the same result each time--rectification is an art, not merely a series of calculations--yet perhaps membres can describe the process by which they may begin to rectify a natal chart.
Some possible topics for discussion to be:
Which important life events tend to yield the best, most accurate result. What other kinds of events can be used besides the birth of children/grandchildren and the death of important family members or friends?
Do you use derived houses in chart rectification? For example, would you look to the eighth house from the tenth house from the tenth house for the death of one's mother, or does this overly confuse the process? If this results in a cusp other than one of the major angles, which house system do you use?
Would you simply look for planetary "action" around the important angles?
How far apart these life events should be from one another or what span of time should they cover?
Is there a minimum "age requirement" for successful rectification to take place? Oone site claimed this age was approximately thirty years old, but I would think one would have accumulated enough important life events by his or her midtwenties, especially if the individual married relatively early in his or her life or experienced the death of a parent or loved one.
I apologize for posing so many questions, but I want to make it clear from the start that I would prefer for this to be a general discussion about chart rectification rather than focusing on specific examples. Perhaps this can come later, but I believe it is important for each of us interested in chart rectification to understand the process so that we might learn to apply it to our own charts and those of others who may seek assistance.
Perhaps we can also discuss techniques to use if the birth time is known within five minutes, an hour, several hours, or if the span of time is much larger--perhaps even an entire day. I imagine that the latter would probably be a waste of time for the astrologer, since I understand that chart rectification is an involved, lengthy process and it is often much easier to use other sources to narrow down the time before consulting an astrologer.
