Pat Nixon
March 16, 1912 – June 22, 1993

This is an article about the proper rectification of Pat Nixon's birthtime. For this rectification, I use the Polaris rectification program by Isaac Starkman. I have seen other rectifications published for Pat Nixon, including a rectification of 11:45 pm PST (in the "Rectification" chapter of an otherwise highly recommended book) which is most definitely wrong.

Now, on to the details of the rectification. Pat was chosen as her name because she was born "shortly before midnight" on Mar 16th, 1912. (just before St. Patrick's Day)   I was able to find 17 events for Pat without much trouble. Since we have a pretty narrow range for the birthtime, I felt that this group of events would likely suffice.

Below is the list of events that I used for this rectification. Note that the death of her husband, President Richard Nixon, is also used even though the event occurred after her own death. Also, I decided that the event of her Husband's resignation from the Presidency should be used (ie. evaluated) in two separate categories (both as a failure and as a resignation), so it shows up twice.


Once all of the events were entered into Polaris, the rectification was run with a search range from 11:10 pm to 12:10 am PST. (ie. 7:10 am to 8:10 am UT)   The results of this one-hour search are shown below.


Polaris ranks the time 07:52:02 UT as the 1st choice. Note that it is highest in raw score, T, as well as highest in A, B, C, and E. The A number is especially important as this shows the number of appropriate (receiving at least 8 points) Angle-to-Planet aspects. Other likely times in the list will have to be checked as well, but Polaris is pointing strongly to that first time, by finding it the highest in so many different rankings. (T, A, B, C, & E)

The best way to show correctness of a rectification is through appropriate aspects, in tight orb, across many reliable systems for the events. For all the systems to line-up with appropriate aspects across a large group of events, is such an accomplishment against chance, that it is very highly indicative of the correct birthtime.

With that in mind, below is the analysis of various events from Pat Nixon's life, across various systems. I challenge anyone to find a better working time for Pat Nixon.

I had originally commented that my next article would be on Pat Nixon's Epoch rectification. This one is quite involved and involves more techniques and search and so will present this one at a future time...

My next article will be on reliable systems and showing through example, how major Events are shown across ALL the systems (with only rare exceptions.)
