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).

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.

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.

Do months have any significance in astrology?
Psychologists have long suspected that particular personality traits are linked to specific birth months. People born in January and February, for example, are more creative and are more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia than people born at other times of the year.
