1. Precision Temporal Controls
The tool provides surgical precision for time-shifting. You can adjust:
Birth Year: For analyzing historical or future Vimsopaka trends.
Month & Day: For tracking monthly and daily planetary transits.
Hour, Minute, & Second: Essential for identifying the exact moment of a planetary shift (Gochara) or a Dasha change.
2. Progressive Chart State (The "What-If" Analysis)
As you adjust time using the increment/decrement arrows:
Instant Recalculation: The entire platform (excluding permanent records) shifts into a Progressive State.
Active Indicator: A green badge appears in the header, showing the "Progressive Time" currently being analyzed.
Visual Feedback: All charts (D1, D9, etc.) and tables refresh to show the data for that specific point in time rather than the birth time.
3. Birth Time Rectification (BTR)
This is the primary professional use case:
Rectification Flow: If a client's events don't match their Dasha precisely, use the second/minute controls to shift their time until the Dasha aligns with reality.
Validate Changes: Observe how the Bhava Chalit or divisional charts change with each small increment.
Finalize (Update Birth Details): Once the corrected time is found, click the Update Birth Details button. This permanently updates the client's official record and refreshes the primary analysis.
4. How to Use the Time Tool
Open Tool: Look for the Time Tool section in astrology and expand it using the chevron.
Shift Time: Use the Up/Down arrows on the temporal fields (YYYY/MMM/DD/HH/MM/SS).
Set State: Click Set to apply the shift. The system will now stay in this "Progressive" state as you browse other tabs.
Rectify: If needed, click Update Birth Details to save this as the new birth time.
Reset: Click Reset to instantly jump back to the original birth details.
IMPORTANT
Temporary vs. Permanent: Remember that shifting time with the "Set" button is temporary—it's for your analysis only. Only clicking "Update Birth Details" will change the client's official data.
