Unless a natal chart is based on a reliably accurate time of birth such as from medical records, then any reading of it is inaccurate. So it is necessary to be certain of the time of birth

The 'problem' is that a member of this forum who is a nurse and currently employed in a large hospital has told us of personal experience of times of birth being noted SOMETIMES - not always - hours after the birth and the time noted is the time the note is written i.e. so '8:21' could simply mean that was the time at which the medical staff WROTE the time of birth!!Most people who guess at their birth times round off to hour or half hour such as 8:00am or 8:30am. The OP has a pretty specific 8:21am birth time listed. What's the problem?
Probably it is the most reliable form of rectification!

Clearly, during a birth, obviously no one is looking at the clock to be absolutely certain of the time – least of all the mother – and medical staff are more concerned with the health and safety of both the mother and the child.
SOMETIMES the time of birth IS noted within fifteen minutes of birth, but not always. Certainly medical staff have no time to write notes while they are attending to the mother and child following the birth i.e. child requires weighing and washing, then child must be clothed before being given to the mother's care – that takes time and AFTER all this is completed THEN the time is noted. All births are noted AFTER their occurrence.
However, it is possible to use the reliable Trutine of Hermes method to VERIFY a time of birth and dr farr commented as follows on the Pre Natal Epoch aka Trutine of Hermes thread http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?p=434761#post434761
Planets possibly changing houses is only one factor though! Other important considerations are the term ruler or bound ruler of the Ascendant changing – and remember Part of Fortune and other Arabic Parts or Lots are extremely sensitive to time as is the Vertex. Accurate timing is vital and astrologers tend to check the time of birth as a matter of course, simply as a basic preliminaryI would agree with what you are saying, although a few minutes in her case is unlikely to make much difference but for Solar Arc prediction I would think. I suppose her Pluto could move into the 1st, but many astrologers interpret planets on the house cusp as influencing both houses anyways, in her case the 12th and 1st. I have Mars on my 6th house cusp and it certainly influences both 5th and 6th house issues. Based on her explanation of her health problems, it seems Pluto is operating from the 12th house in my opinion
Clearly individual astrologers may well reach different conclusions regarding the same chart - SOMETIMES differing only by minutes – HOWEVER there IS an example on this forum of a rectification which differed from the original time of birth by approximately five hours!...I had my birth time rectified by Robert Hand to slightly over 2 minutes earlier, which I used for many years. Later, I had a reading from Noel Tyl who went through my entire life and pointed out events. He was always off by a few months in terms of timing of major events in my life and we came to the conclusion the time listed on my birth certificate was indeed, the correct time.
I actually have dark brown eyes and when I was a child my mother said I used to give people the stare lol. But she also said I used them to get her to do what I wanted and she usually gave in. I've actually been complimented a lot on my eyes, so I guess I can say that my eyes project a lot of emotion.
Something to do with medicine, psychology, neuro-science or criminology. I also have a big interest in history and the arts.
How do I add transits and progressions?
