When DST or summer time is in effect, you must deduct one hour (or in some circumstances 1/2 hour or 2 hours) from your local birth time in Astrology. This is significant because the amount of ghatikas passed the local sunrise time is taken into account in vedic astrology.

For astrology, how precise does the birth time have to be?
If your rising sign is inaccurate, you will not only lose the capacity to see how you present yourself to others, but much of your chart will be erroneous by default (via Lawyerment). The houses that your zodiac placements fall into are determined by your rising sign. If you were born at the incorrect time, you would have the incorrect rising sign, which would lead to the incorrect houses for your other signs, including your moon sign.
Do you have any idea when you were born? If your parents forget or didn’t record it in your baby book, you can get a long-form birth certificate from the state where you were born, which will include your precise birth time (Allure).
Is Daylight Savings Time always one hour?
During DST, however, clocks on Lord Howe Island, Australia, are only set 30 minutes forward from LHST (UTC+10:30) to LHDT (UTC+11).
There have been numerous variants throughout history, such as half adjustments (30 minutes) or double adjustments (60 minutes) (2 hours). There have also been adjustments of 20 and 40 minutes.
What if you don’t know your astrology birth time?
Because of the Earth’s daily rotation, the planets and the sky are always in motion. A freeze-frame is provided by your birth chart. It’s a photograph of the sky taken at the time and place when you first entered the world. For an accurate chart reading, you must know your exact birth time, date, and location.
The Moon, for example, changes signs every 2-3 days. Only your birth time can tell you what sign the Moon was in when you were born if you were born on a day when it moved from one sign to another.
Rising indicators change even more quickly. The ascendant (also known as the rising sign) is the sign that is currently climbing over the Eastern horizon. This is the point in your birth chart that most closely symbolizes you: your body, your vitality, and your sense of self. This sign forms your 1st House of self and identity because it is so unique to you. The sign after that becomes your 2nd House of assets, resources, and livelihood, and the sign after that forms your 3rd House of communication, everyday life, siblings, and extended family, among other things. You won’t know which signs match to which residences unless you know your rising sign.
Every 1-2 hours, rising signs move, with the entire zodiac rolodexing over the horizon in a 24-hour period. Furthermore, every couple of minutes, the exact degree ascending (that is, the degree of your ascendant) advances. That’s why, in astrology, your rising sign is so essential, and why we put so much emphasis on it in the CHANI app. It is one-of-a-kind to you.
The same can be stated for your birth chart’s other anchors. The exact time, day, and location of your birth establish the points of your MC (which represents your career and public duties), IC (home, family, and roots), and DC (close relationships).
If you don’t know your birth time, there are a variety of ways to work with your chart, but we wanted to provide you some ideas on how to find the most accurate astrological analysis possible. It helps if you know and interact with your parents and caregivers because different hospitals, states, and nations have varied protocols when it comes to documenting births. That is not an option for many persons who have been adopted or whose parents are deceased or have lost contact.
Age can also be a factor. It may be more difficult to locate earlier data, while this is not always the case, and/or some hospitals only began recording birth times after a certain date.
Leave no stone unturned
If there is research to be done, go ahead and do it. It doesn’t mean your birth time wasn’t recorded just because you don’t see it on your birth certificate at home. Many people have only their short-form birth certificate, which is effectively a certified statement that the long-form certificate exists. It usually provides the most important information, such as your birthdate, but not the time. The document recorded in the hospital is the long-form birth certificate. It frequently includes other information, such as the names of the parents, their dates of birth, the name of the hospital, and, yes, the time of birth.
Call the local government office in charge of birth records to obtain a long-form certificate. In your area, this can be referred to as the “vital statistics ministry,” “department,” or “office,” or something different entirely. Depending on where and when you were born, it could be state-wide, provincial-wide, county-wide, or parish-wide.
Before you order the certificate, make sure the birth time is correct on the record. With astrology’s current popularity, even normalization, you won’t be the only one who makes this request.
Alternatively, you might contact the hospital where you were born. They might be able to inform you who keeps those documents if they don’t keep them themselves.
Finding your long-form birth certificate is always the best option, even if your caregivers or parents believe they know when you were born. The majority of those there at your birth were preoccupied with other things, and their memories are less reliable than you may think. Remember that your rising sign might alter in a matter of minutes, so if feasible, get a precise time rather than one rounded to the hour.
Go digging
Examine ancient baby books, photo albums, attic boxes, scrapbooks, family bibles, and other items. It’s possible that your long-form certificate was misplaced, or that a meticulous caregiver, parent, or grandparent meticulously recorded the hour of your birth in their notebook.
Ask around
Inquire of your parents, caretakers, or anyone who may have witnessed your birth, such as a relative or family friend. As noted, finding a document with your precise birth time is ideal, but if you can narrow down your options for your rising sign by the hour or approximate time of day, that can help you identify your Moon and narrow down your chances for your rising sign.
Rectify your chart
You can try to have your chart corrected by an astrologer who specializes in this technique as a final option. There will always be some learning through trial and error. Although chart correction is not an exact science, it does work successfully for certain people. While we don’t provide recommendations for astrologers who undertake this work, we recommend reaching out to your networks (or inquiring on Twitter?) to see if anyone you know works with a reputable astrologer.
What does it mean that I was born at a certain time?
“What time was I born?” is a joke that mocks persons who inquire about your birth time in order to read your horoscope. It’s making fun of folks who are obsessed with horoscope readings and suggesting that you avoid them.

Why does it mock people who believe in horoscopes?
A horoscope is a chart that employs the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets at the time of an event, such as a person’s birth, to reveal personality traits and predict the future.
Many individuals believe that horoscopes can be used to interpret someone’s personality and that everything a horoscope says is true.
Others, on the other hand, say that zodiac signs are fictitious, and the entire concept is frequently mocked.
What is the difference between Daylight Savings Time (DST) and regular time?
When Daylight Saving Time (DST) is not in effect, standard time is the local time in a country or region. Winter time or regular time are other terms for standard time. Standard time is sometimes known as winter time or regular time, whereas DST is also known as summer time, especially in the United Kingdom.
Why was DST established?
On July 1, 1908, Port Arthur, Ontario, Canada, became the first city in the world to implement DST. Then came Orillia, Ontario, which was founded by William Sword Frost while he was mayor from 1911 to 1912. The German Empire and its World War I ally Austria-Hungary were the first to implement DST (German: Sommerzeit) on a nationwide level on April 30, 1916, as a means of conserving coal during the war. The United Kingdom, most of its allies, and a large number of European neutrals soon followed. Russia and a few other countries waited until the following year to implement daylight saving time, while the United States did it in 1918. With the exception of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, and the United States, most countries abandoned DST in the years following the war’s end in 1918. It became popular during World War II (some countries used double summer time), and it was extensively embraced in America and Europe starting in the 1970s as a result of the energy crisis of the 1970s. Since then, there have been several enactments, revisions, and repeals around the world.
DST was first established for the benefit of farmers, according to popular belief in the United States. Farmers, on the other hand, have been one of the most vocal opponents of DST from its inception. The sun ultimately dictates the conditions that influence farming schedules, such as morning dew and dairy cattle’s readiness to be milked, therefore the time shift creates unnecessary obstacles.
The Standard Time Act of 1918 was the first time DST was imposed in the United States, as a wartime measure for seven months during World War I to add more daylight hours and conserve energy resources. During World War II, year-round DST, also known as “War Time,” was reinstated. Local jurisdictions were free to choose whether or not to observe DST after the war until the Uniform Time Act of 1966, which standardized DST. Permanent daylight saving time was implemented for the winter of 1974, but it was overturned a year later due to complaints about children going to school in the dark and working adults commuting and starting their work day in the dark during the winter months.
With the Senate enacting the Sunshine Protection Act by unanimous consent on March 15, 2022, the United States has begun the process of making daylight saving time permanent in all participating states. If the bill passes the House of Representatives and is signed by President Joe Biden, every state in the US that now observes daylight saving time will do so year-round beginning in November 2023.
