Birth Time Rectification

rectify_birth_time

Refine an uncertain birth time by testing ±30 min around the stated time against known life events. Requires at least 1 known event with date and houses that should have been active. Returns '{ candidates: [{ datetime, score, eventMatches[] }], bestCandidate, originalTime, refinedTime }'. For RP-confirmation rectification using event location (more rigorous) use 'get_rectification_advanced'. For finding entirely-unknown birth time use 'find_birth_time'.

Birth data

This tool requires birth data on every call. The MCP server is stateless, so calling set_birth_profile first validates the data and returns the reading plan, but it does not store anything. Repeat the same five fields here.
