#i'm now buried in charts and looking at time lords and transits and stuff to see if the risings really fit

Pendulum for checking ascendants?

I'm not saying this is the bestest rectification tool for rising signs BUT

If you're really good at using a pendulum and you're questioning a rising sign orrrr you don't know the rising sign at all, it can be pretty helpful.

I myself, am shite at using a pendulum because whatever I'm gonna think, it's going to behave that way (thinking swing left, it's gonna swing left; thinking point to x on a diagram, it's gonna point to x; if you've ever used a pendulum, you know what I'm talking about). But my mom's great at this so I asked her.

We tested it on a couple of people who have ascendants at 29° or 0°, used an astrology diagram (just like an empty chart with signs) and asked. YOU GUYS IT SEEMED SO ACCURATE I WAS SHOCKED

My mom has an approximate time of birth, she always thought she's a Pisces but I rectified her chart for Aries a few year ago. And what the pendulum pointed to? Aries.

Same with my niece who is a 29° Aquarius but her time is rounded and if she was born only 1 minute later, she would already be Pisces. Personally, I'm convinced she's a Pisces. What the pendulum pointed to? Pisces.

We also checked myself cause I'm sometimes paranoid I'm a Cap (I know I'm not but a 0° rising is kinda stressful). It showed Aquarius.

We also checked a few people whom I don't have the time of birth YET and they pointed to risings that I was suspecting (especially one person whose chart I tried to rectify a lot of times and it all seems accurate). I will update you guys once I get their risings if the pendulum was right.

(Mind you, one of the people we asked about 3 times in the space of a year or so and it ALWAYS points to Gemini).

I mean, AGAIN, this is not the most reliable technique obviously but it's a fun way to test things. That is, IF you're good at using pendulum.
