Thanks to the Earth’s daily rotation, the planets and the sky are both constantly in motion. A freeze-frame is provided by your birth chart. It is an image of the sky as it appeared when and when you first entered the earth. For a precise chart reading, you must be aware of the precise time, date, and location of your birth.
For instance, the Moon switches signs every two to three days. Only your birth time would be able to determine what sign the Moon was in when you were born if you were born on a day when it changed signs.
Rising indicators change even more quickly. The sign that is currently ascending over the Eastern horizon is known as the rising sign (also known as the ascendant). This is the place in your birth chart where your body, vitality, and sense of self are most closely represented. This sign forms your first House of self and identity because it is so unique to you. The sign after that makes your 3rd House of communication, daily life, siblings and extended family, etc., and the sign after that becomes your 2nd House of possessions, resources, and livelihood. You won’t understand which signs belong to certain residences if you don’t know your rising sign.
Every 1-2 hours, rising signs change, and within a 24-hour period, the complete zodiac rolodex crosses the horizon. The precise degree ascending, or the degree of your ascendant, also advances every few minutes. Your rising sign is significant in astrology for this reason, which is also why the CHANI app places a lot of emphasis on it. It is wholly specific to you.
The other birth chart anchors are comparable in this regard. The precise time, day, and location of your birth determines the points of your MC (which represents your profession and public duties), IC (home, family, and roots), and DC (close relationships).
If you don’t know your birth time, there are other methods to use your chart, but we wanted to provide you some suggestions on how you may look for the most accurate astrological interpretation possible. It is beneficial to know and speak with your parents and caregivers because different hospitals, states, and nations have varied methods for recording births. That’s not an option for many people whose parents were adopted, passed away, or lost contact.
Age also has an impact. Older records may be more difficult to locate, though this isn’t always the case, and/or certain hospitals may have only begun keeping track of birth timings after a certain date.

Leave no stone unturned
Do your research if it needs to be done. Your birth time may have been recorded even if you cannot see it on your birth certificate at home. The short-form birth certificate, which is effectively a signed statement that the long-form certificate exists, is all that many people have. The most important details, such your birthdate, are included, although the time is infrequently mentioned. The documentation kept at the hospital is the long-form birth certificate. More information is frequently included, such as the parents’ names, birth dates, hospitals, and yes, the time of birth.
Call the birth records management division of your local government to obtain the long-form certificate. Depending on where you live, this may be referred to as the vital statistics ministry, department, or office. Depending on where and when you were born, it can be a state-wide, provincial, county, or parish-wide issue.
Ask someone to check the record to make sure the birth time is accurate before ordering the certificate. You won’t be the only one making this request because astrology is currently so well-liked, even considered normal.
You might also try contacting the birthplace hospital. They might be able to inform you who keeps those documents if they don’t.
Finding your long-form birth certificate is usually the wisest course of action, regardless of whether your parents or caretakers believe they know when you were born. Most individuals who were present when you were born were preoccupied with other activities at the time, so it’s more likely than not that their memories are inaccurate. Keep in mind that your rising sign can alter within a few minutes, so if at all feasible, choose an exact time rather than one that is rounded to the nearest hour.
Go digging
Examine ancient baby books, photo albums, attic boxes, scrapbooks, family bibles, etc. There’s a potential that your long-form certificate was misplaced, or that a meticulous parent, grandmother, or caregiver recorded the hour of your birth in their diary.
Ask around
Inquire with your parents, carers, or anybody who may have been there when you were born, such as a relative or close friend. As previously noted, finding a record with your precise birth time is ideal, but if you can zero in on the hour or general time of day, it can help you identify your Moon and limit the possibilities for your rising sign.
Rectify your chart
As a final resort, you can attempt to have an astrologer who specializes in this method correct your chart. Trial and error will always be a part of life. Although chart correction is not an exact science, it does work quite well for some people. While we do not provide recommendations for astrologers that perform this type of work, we do advise asking about in your networks (or even on Twitter?) to see if anyone you know has a relationship with a reputable astrologer.
How precise must the birth time be on the birth chart?
Not only will you be unable to perceive how you appear to others if your rising sign is inaccurate, but a significant portion of your chart will also be essentially erroneous (via Lawyerment). Your zodiac placements fall into the houses that correspond to your rising sign. If you were born at the incorrect time, your rising sign would be incorrect, which would result in your other signs’ houses, including your moon sign, being incorrect.
Don’t know the the time of your birth? You can ask the state where you were born for a copy of your long-form birth certificate, which will contain your precise time of birth if your parents don’t remember or didn’t record it in your baby book (Allure).
If you don’t know your birth chart’s time, what time should you enter?
If you don’t know when you were born, you can guess: For something called a “sunrise chart,” look up the time of sunrise on the day you were born, or enter 12 p.m. for a “noon chart.” And if you’re really into astrology but don’t know your birth time, you can pay for what’s called a “natal chart rectification,” in which an astrologer asks you in-depth questions about your past in order to essentially work backward to find your birth time.
Okay, so you’ve filled out your birth details in a birth chart, and the outcome is a circular chart covered in a variety of symbols and lines. Now let’s discuss the specifics!
Look at that chart first. You can see that it is separated into 12 portions. These are the residences. Your birth chart has 12 houses, thus that’s true. Each planet is situated in a house and a zodiac sign in addition to your Sun, Moon, Rising sign. Your Mercury may be in Libra in the third house or your Sun may be in Leo in the fifth house. Use the instructions below to begin understanding your own cosmic DNA after you have your chart!
Are seconds significant in astrology?
Vinay Bajrangi, M.D. For accurate astrological forecasts, the birth time must be known. It is important to comprehend the significance of the accurate birth time in astrology. Birthplace, time of birth, and date of birth are the three basic factors that go into creating a horoscope. The planets’ positions in the horoscope will change even the slightest variation in any of them. The horoscope’s planet placement serves as the foundation for the predictions. Therefore, even a small adjustment in the planets’ positions will impact the outcome of the forecast. The planets’ positions and hence the prediction can change with even a small shift in birth time, like one second. Consequently, we should be aware that the birth time is crucial in astrology.
Vinay Bajrangi, M.D. Yes, even a tiny difference in birth time has an impact on forecasts. Consider the example of twins who were born one minute apart. Even though they were born one minute apart, both have quite distinct personalities, preferences, and behaviors. As they mature, their fates and lives diverge. Therefore, having the accurate time of birth is quite essential before getting a prognosis.
Vinay Bajrangi, M.D. An incorrect birth time results in an incorrect birth chart, and a poor forecast follows. Typically, the position of Mars in a person’s horoscope is used to categorize them as a Manglik. Even if someone is not a Manglik, their incorrect birth chart may designate them as one. Similar to this, a faulty birth chart prediction may indicate an early or normal-age marriage when in reality it may not. The incorrect birth chart forecasts may cause the native to become complacent and unwilling to take corrective action. The fundamental goal of consulting and making corrections through the charts is thwarted in these situations.
I have witnessed a lot of people engage in those rituals or corrective actions that further postpone their marriage as a result of incorrect birth charts. In some cases, the astrologer may recommend getting married before a specific age despite the birth chart being incorrect.
Therefore, before providing his or her birth time to an astrologer, the native must be absolutely certain about it. In a similar vein, it is the astrologer’s primary duty to determine the accuracy of the birthtime by using the birth time verification procedure.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: An astrologer should use the birth time verification method before really reading the horoscope. Using this method, the astrologer tries to confirm a few recent incidents. The astrologer is confident in the birth times if these events are verified. The Surya Paddyati, Chandra Paddyati, Mangal Paddyati, and Navamsha-Chandra Paddyati are only a few of the birth time verification methods. The one that the astrologer feels most at ease with is the one he chooses. I would also like to mention that using any of these approaches requires a ton of skill and experience.
Vinay Bajrangi, M.D. I have a quick anecdote to tell here. Up until the eighth grade, Sudesh (real name altered) was a stellar student. But in his ninth and tenth standards, his focus and, finally, his grades started to deteriorate. With his failure in the class tenth grade, his parents were devastated. They made the poor decision to consult an astrologer, unaware that the horoscope they gave him was inaccurate. Without confirming the validity of Sudesh’s birth time, the astrologer also indicated that the youngster will face additional challenges in the years to come. He ought to be studying things that required little work to pass at the very least.
The boy’s parents forced him to take the tenth grade examinations privately and pushed him to study fundamental arts topics while relying on the astrologer. The boy had a modest arts education and struggled to obtain employment; as a result, he and his parents approached me.
I checked the birth time, which turned out to be incorrect. I discovered that the precise time period of two years (class 8 to 9th) was difficult on him after having the birthtime corrected. However, based on a false assumption, the events that followed ruined the boy’s schooling, profession, and years.
I encouraged him to enroll in a computer coding course. For someone with a background in the arts, computer coding can seem like a far-off fantasy, but he still concurred.
He started late but is now a successful computer programmer who is doing something demanding and rewarding.
This is how a native’s job chances are impacted by an incorrect birth chart. But in these situations, the fault lies with the client or the astrologer, not with astrology as a science.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: A skilled astrologer can determine the accuracy of the birth time by looking at the birth chart. He interprets the horoscope, extrapolates historical data into charts, and verifies timings. This provides information on whether the birth time was accurate. This interpolation further demonstrates the significance of birth time in forecasts.
Vinay Bajrangi, M.D. Knowing your exact birth time is essential because it is important for astrology. Birth time rectification is the special method an astrologer uses to determine your accurate birth time. But I want to stress that not all astrologers are qualified to handle the laborious task of rectification of birth time.
What is rectification of birth times? And when is birth time correction necessary?
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: Birth time rectification is the process of determining the native’s correct birth time so that we may create a birth chart to forecast their future. There are several astrological methods available for birth time correction, but these methods demand a deft and knowledgeable hand. Birth time rectification is necessary if the native has even the slightest doubt that the time of birth is accurate and if earlier predictions do not line up. The most accurate astrologer for birth rectification can adjust the time of birth to the nearest second.
Only when we have the proper birth time can we make accurate forecasts, and it is possible to change someone’s birth time.
Vinay Bajrangi, M.D. You can be confident that the birth time is accurate if you are a skilled astrologer who can predict the future with a decent amount of accuracy. Again, one should be aware that an experienced astrologer should have control over the horoscope.
Can a horoscope be interpreted without knowing the time of birth? What should one do if a person lacks a birth time?
Vinay Bajrangi, M.D. Yes! You can read horoscopes without knowing your birth time. An astrologer can create a Prasha Chart and infer information from a chart of a relative among other methods for predicting future events.
Based on chakras like the Kot Chakra, Sarvatobhadra Chakra, Kalachakra, etc., a master astrologer can make predictions. The very greatest astrologers cultivate strong intuitive abilities, which when combined with the Prasha chart produce exceptional outcomes.
When you advise someone to take action if they don’t know their true birthdate, suggest birth time correction or consulting an astrologer who is familiar with the Prasha chart method.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: No, they are never able to provide precise results because birth time rectification necessitates the use of multiple methods at once. As a result, no birthtime correction application could produce precise findings because the technique depends on the native’s responses.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: Face-to-face communication is ideal, but if there are some limitations, we can conduct business online. Online does not refer to online reports, but rather to discussion. The astrologer should be able to read the native’s facial expressions thanks to strong internet connections and clear reception.
Does birth time factor into numerology?
The first kind of numerology is a belief in the power of numbers. It has its roots in the idea that your future is determined by your date of birth. Your “life path” can be determined using your date of birth. Your date of birth must be reduced to a single digit before being written down.
Why is the time of your birth significant?
Your birth time might reveal a lot about your temperament, disposition, and personality. Additionally, the time of birth is very important in astrology since it determines your Ascendant as well as the positions and degrees of the planets in your horoscope.
Do twin flames’ birth charts resemble one another?
Twin-flame relationships, however, are an exception rather than the rule. Given how much they like Libra, Cancer is most likely Libra’s twin flame. Even though these two zodiac signs aren’t the most compatible, they can nonetheless fulfill each other’s requirements.
Therefore, despite what the general public thinks, twin flames do not always share the same zodiac sign. They can also result from an unexpected alignment of astrological signs. To learn more about the twin-flame zodiac signs, continue to the following section.
Is it possible to have two zodiac signs?
Being born on the “cusp,” which typically refers to having a birthday that teeters on the edge of two sun sign’s date ranges, is a concept you’ve undoubtedly heard of if you’re interested in astrology. If you were born on the verge of two zodiacal signs, what does that mean? Some individuals who were born on the first or last day of a zodiac sign’s season claim to have traits from both signs, but is that truly true?
The cusp signs in astrology don’t exist, thus that’s the last word on the subject. ‘Cusp signs’ are a common astrological misconception. You can only have one sun sign since the sun cannot be in two places at once. A planet can only be in one place in the zodiac at a time. I’m sorry to deflate any cusp-claimers’ dreams. However, there are definitely some things to keep in mind if you were born on the ‘cusp’ of two zodiac signs as this placement could make things a little bit tricky.
How frequently do birth charts alter?
No, it’s closer to every 30 years. (Thank G, you have some time to think about all of this.) The advanced sun only moves by less than a degree per year, therefore there are 30 degrees in each sign, making this transition extremely gradual, according to Montfar.
