Let’s start with why your precise birth time is significant in astrology. According to Gold Ring Astrology, your own journey on Earth begins the instant you are born and take your first breath. The beginning of your spiritual journey begins the moment you enter the human world, with the blueprint of your life being sewn in that precise moment.
One reason is that the time of birth is significant. Your ascendant, or rising, sign (the sign that was rising over the eastern horizon at the time of your birth) is determined by the exact hour of your birth (via Mind Body Green). The way you see the world and how others see you are both represented by your ascendant sign (via Allure).

Is it significant when you were born?
Your birth date can reveal a lot about your personality, disposition, and temperament. Furthermore, the time of birth is very important in Astrology since it determines your Ascendant, as well as the placements and degrees of planets in your horoscope. One’s personality is reflected in the Ascendant.
What is the definition of a birth time?
Now I’ll provide a few real-life case studies to demonstrate how the method of event-based birth time rectification works.
The birth time of this individual was not correctly recorded, and it was stated to me that it might have been anywhere between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. If we use the time of 02:00 a.m. to cast the birth chart, Pisces (Meena) is the ascendant rising sign. However, if we choose 01:00 a.m. as the birth time, Aquarius is the ascendant (Kumbha).
- Siblings: This local is the youngest of four siblings. If we look at the Aquarius lagan, we can see that Rahu in the third house causes one brother or sister to be the youngest or oldest. However, the 3rd house in Pisces sees the Sun, Venus, and Mercury receiving the aspect of Jupiter, indicating the birth of a younger brother. In the instance of Pisces lagna, he was born with the balance dasha of the Sun, which would have given him younger siblings.
- The native graduated with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. According to a study published in Shri K.N. Rao’s book “Planets and Instruction,” civil engineering education originates from the fifth, fourth, and tenth houses, with planes Mars (land), Mercury (measuring), and Saturn (building material) playing a role. Now, in this situation, civil engineering studies come from the Aquarius lagan only because the 5th lord Mercury enters the 4th house there, together with the 4th lord Venus, who receives the aspect of Saturn. Mars, another essential planet for civil engineering, is in aspect with the tenth house. Such civil engineering combinations are not obvious if we look at the Pisces lagan.
- He relocated to Canada in 1990 after leaving the United States. In his horoscope, it was Jupiter maha dasha in Vimshottari. When we look at the Aquarius lagna, we can see that Jupiter is in the 12th house of foreign land. Jupiter’s depositor is Saturn, who is located in the 7th house, which is the house of travel abroad. The elder brother of the local has also relocated to another country, which is also explained by the Aquarius horoscope, as the 11th lord is in the 12th house. Jupiter becomes the 12th lord in the Navamsha chart, confirming the Aquarius lagna’s settlement in a faraway nation.
In this example, if we apply the Pisces lagan, Jupiter in the 11th house does not indicate a settlement in another country during its dasha.
- Marriage Delay: The native married in 1981, when he was 32 years old, during his Rahu-Mercury dasha. There was a significant delay in marriage at the time. Now, this could be plausible from the Aquarius lagna, where Saturn rules the 7th house and the 7th lord Sun receives Saturn’s aspect, indicating a delay in marriage. The 7th lord Moon receives the aspect of Saturn from the 6th lord in Navamsha. It has been found that when Saturn rules the 7th house, 7th lord, and/or Venus in both Rashi and Navamsha charts, marriage is delayed.
In the Rashi chart, the 7th house receives the Jupiter aspect if we apply the Pisces lagan. The lagna in Navamsha shows Venus obtaining an aspect from Jupiter in the 9th house, indicating an early marriage combo. As a result, this point also shows that the native’s lagna must be Aquarius exclusively. Since his Saturn dasha began in 2005, the native’s wife has been suffering from ‘Vata’ ailments. It is simply explained by the Aquarius lagan and the presence of Saturn in the Rashi chart’s 7th house. As a result, I set the Aquarius ascendant for the native to 01:00 a.m. exclusively.
Now I’m looking at the horoscope of this native’s daughter, whose birth occurred at the intersection of two ascendants.
In the instance of this young lady, the ascendant was rising near the junction of Aries and Taurus.
- Marriage: This young lady’s father was concerned about her marriage. From June 2015 until June 2018, she was in the Venus-Venus Vimshottari dasha. I was given the Taurus lagan chart in my palm, and his father inquired about her daughter’s wedding plans. He had visited numerous astrologers over the years, and her daughter, now 34, was frustrated because she couldn’t find the proper spouse for herself. I advised this gentleman that her daughter’s horoscope could only be of Aries lagna since it indicates a delay in marriage. The placement of three benefic planets Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus in the Taurus lagna horoscope would have provided her with a timely marriage. In the Navamsha, Jupiter is in the 7th house, while Saturn, the lagna lord, is well-placed in the 11th house, indicating marriage at the appropriate age in the Taurus lagan chart.
However, if we look at the chart from the Aries ascendant, we can observe that Saturn is in the 7th house, and the 7th lord Venus is in combustion in the 8th house, indicating that her marriage will be delayed. Venus, the 7th lord, is in the ‘Paap-Kartari’ yoga, which explains the difficulties in achieving marital bliss. The Navamsha lagna shifts to Sagittarius, with the lagna and 7th lord in an unfavorable position.
- She received her higher education in Canada after emigrating from India in 1998. Only the Aries lagna can explain her migration to a strange place. The 4th Lord Moon enters the 12th House here. During her Mercury-Moon dasha in Vimshottari, she traveled to Canada. The placement of planets in the 12th house in Navamsha indicates her relocation to another country. If we look at the Taurus lagna, the 4th lord Sun, together with benefic planets in the 7th house, would not have provided her with a foreign settlement and family.
- Skin allergies and a tense relationship with her father: Due to a tense relationship with her father and difficulties at work, this young girl was suffering from skin allergies and despair. These things are also abundantly obvious from the Aries horoscope, where Mercury, the 6th lord, is in the 8th house, indicating skin ailments. The negative exchange between the 8th lord Mars and the 9th lord Jupiter indicates friction in the father-daughter connection. Her career was hampered by the dasha of ‘Maraka’ Venus, which was poorly placed in the 8th house. Because of its relationship with the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter, Venus enters Raja Yogas and Dhana Yogas in the Taurus lagna.
As a result of the circumstances described above, I assigned this native an Aries ascendant.
When is the most unusual time to be born?
Note from the editor: The following is a guest article by Zan Armstrong, a data visualization engineer and data analyst.
Routines, habits, and timetables abound in our lives as humans. We get up, go to school or work, or go to the gym on occasion. Coffee breaks, rush hour traffic, meetings, and soccer games are all part of our daily schedule.
However, there are times when our routines are disrupted. Many families have a story about the baby who was born minutes after Dad’s heroic drive across town in the middle of the night to the hospital; or the sister or brother who almost died but for a last-minute C-section that saved their life; or the friend who labored for 27 hours before the little one finally came out.
It’s tempting to believe that the timing of a baby’s birth is random based on the stories we share. In the United States, however, September weeks have 5 to 10% more births than January weeks. On an average Tuesday, 20,000 babies are born, compared to 8,000 on a typical Saturday. Sixty percent of all babies are born between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Furthermore, 3.5 times as many babies are delivered at 8:00 a.m., the most common minute, as at 3:09 a.m., the least common minute.
These typical birth trends are depicted in the figure below (created by Nadieh Bremer and me for Scientific American in July 2017). It demonstrates which minutes of the day, hours of the week, and weeks of the year are more or less common than the average.
Each time scale has its own rhythm. At more granular time scales, however, the strength of this rhythm is substantially stronger.
In the most popular week, for example, just 20% more infants are born than in the least popular week. The most common hour of the week to be born, on the other hand, has 3.3 times as many births as the least common. Every weekday morning about 8 a.m., there is a significant increase.
Why? What are the origins of these recurring patterns? Why is there such a disparity in the number of kids delivered at different times of the day?
In the United States, C-section surgeries account for 32% of births, induced labor accounts for 18%, and “natural” births account for 50%. (vaginal deliveries without induction). We can notice a distinct rhythm for each sort of delivery technique if we break down the data by manner of delivery. The general minute-per-day pattern we witness is the result of these three intersecting patterns: fewer births at night, a significant surge in the morning, and a broader afternoon rise.
We detect a night/day pattern in the 50% of kids born without intervention. Between 6:45 a.m. and 6 p.m., between 20% to 30% more babies are born per minute than during the night.
Every day, inductions follow a two-part structure. However, there are fewer peak hours, from 1 to 6 p.m. The disparity is much more pronounced, with 220 percent more babies born each minute during peak hours than during the lightest hours of the day, between 6 and 7 a.m. Between when a baby’s birth is induced and when the infant is actually born, there is a long and unpredictable medical lag. As a result, medical personnel may schedule the induction so that the baby is born during the workday, when there is more staff available.
The C-section pattern appears to be completely different. A significant increase occurs first thing in the morning, followed by another peak soon before midday, then a plateau in the early evening before the nighttime decrease. C-section births are uncommon at night. Throughout the early morning peak, around ten times as many infants are born every minute as during the middle of the night. While some C-sections are performed in the event of a medical emergency during delivery, the majority are scheduled for a variety of reasons. As with any other planned medical surgery, the timing of a C-section is highly impacted by hospital scheduling and the workweek.
Because diverse factors influence their time, these three birth methods have different daily patterns: a natural process, a delay when labor is started, or a scheduled surgery. These three patterns come together to form the patterns we observe throughout the day.
C-sections, for example, account for the majority of deliveries during the week, which occur between 8 and 9 a.m. on Mondays. C-sections are up 3.7 times the national norm, while natural deliveries are marginally higher than the national average and inductions are slightly lower than the national rate during that hour. In all, births have increased by 1.9 times the national average.
The total rate is up to 1.4 times the average rate in the early afternoons, between 2 and 3 p.m. on weekdays. All sorts of deliveries are increased during this hour: C-sections are 1.4 times the average, induction is twice the average, and birth without intervention is 1.2 times the average. All three delivery methods are also less prevalent at night than during the day, while inductions and C-sections are the most common.
In summary, we see dramatic daily surges and a shorter dip at night when we look at the number of kids born by minute rather than by day or week. Why, we can’t but but wonder. What is the source of these peaks and troughs? When the births are broken down, it becomes clear that each delivery method has its own daily pattern. In addition, we can now observe how these three unique patterns interact to form the overall minute-per-day pattern. As a result, a more broad association between when and how kids are born emerges. Drilling down not only reveals the minutiae, but it also proposes a fresh way of looking at the big picture.
Editor’s note: The data is for newborns born in the United States in 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you’re interested in learning more about data seasonality trends, watch the talk that inspired this project, Everything Is Seasonal.
What month is the most unusual to be born in?
While the Christmas holidays are a popular time to have a baby, there are fewer babies born during this season, with six of the ten least frequent birth dates occuring during this time.
This is most likely owing to the significant number of bank holidays that fall within that time frame. During the holidays, hospitals will normally only perform natural births and emergency caesareans. Elective caesareans and induced births are likely to be arranged on different days.
Because February 29 comes only once every four years, it has the lowest total number of births over a twenty-year span. The average number of births on February 29 takes into account the fact that the day happens only once every four years, resulting in a value that is barely under the daily average.
April 1 is surprisingly low on the list, possibly because parents prefer not to have an April Fool’s Day baby if at all feasible.
One born every minute
There have been 8 days in the last 20 years when 1,440 infants have been born. To coin a term, one was born per minute these days:
Contrary to popular belief, a baby has been born every two seconds on average over the last two decades.

How can I predict my future based on my birth date?
Date of birth Various aspects are taken into account when making astrology forecasts. Here are several predictions that provide a comprehensive picture of a person’s life:
Dasha Prediction: The heavenlybodies express time-duration or “Dasha periods,” and how these time-periods effect you, the reaction they have on your life, and the path they are bound to thrust you in. Dasha Predictions are based on the astrology of one’s birth date.
Sade Sati Information: The sade sati of Shani (Saturn Planet), also known as the’seven and a half year’ period, happens three times in a person’s lifetime and is regarded the most important. The enumerative analysis of the results of this’sade sati,’ its neutral and relentless phases, as well as Age-old treatments from the vedas to alleviate the negative effects of this, are supplied depending on the birth data provided and are in some ways a part of birthday astrology.
Nakshatra Phal: This report recognizes interesting facts about you, your nature, behavior, characteristics, and personality, as well as the positive and negative aspects, your strengths and weaknesses, and a plethora of other useful and interesting personal information that will assist you in making the best decisions and choices in your life and leading a more productive and prosperous life.

What impact and influence they will have on you and your life decisions.
Varshphal: The varshphal, also known as vedic yearly astrology or annual horoscope, is one of the numerous vedic executions based on birthday astrology used to predict future occurrences. Though it is practiced all over India, it is more common in northern India. It’s designed to last a year, or until the sun returns to the same sign and degree as its natural location. The natal horoscope, also known as Kundli, is the cast for a person’s birth time. The varshphal, on the other hand, is solar-based, meaning that the location of the sun is the most important factor.
Not only Vedic Astrology, but also Western Astrology, which is based on birth date astrology, is quite popular these days. This branch is based on the Sun Sign of the individual.
