“Time Zone Not Sure” field
Sometimes a field labeled “Time Zone Not Sure” will show up. Some time zones in the database are either unknowable or are exempt from certain rules or conditions that are described in this article on historical time zone difficulties. If the software refreshes the same screen after you choose your location and click Submit, you will notice a new field labeled “Time Zone Not Sure” underneath the time field. You might need to change the numerical value in the field in this situation. To see your report if the value is accurate, please click Submit once more.
Birth times that are unknown: Selecting “Time Unknown” instructs the program to omit the Ascendant and house positions from the report because these cannot be accurately estimated without a birth time. The report is generated without the time-sensitive data for the majority of users, therefore nothing additional needs to be done.
Continue reading if you’re curious about the range of signs and degrees that could exist on a given day. The positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets are determined using the time entered in the birth time field. You can enter 12:00 if you want to use the best average for the day. Taking note of the planets’ positions at 00:01 and 23:59 will give you this range if you are curious about the potential range. The Moon can be in either of two signs on many days since it switches signs about every 2-1/2 days. Changes in signs with the Sun and other planets are less probable but are still possible (they may be on a cusp). Once more, you can look at the spectrum of potential locations. You cannot, however, know the specific placements with any degree of precision without knowing your birth time.
How does your birth chart look?
A natal chart, also known as a birth chart, is an astronomical image of the stars taken on the precise day, hour, and location of your birth. We determine each planet’s position, the zodiac sign and house it was in at the time of your birth using information from NASA.
How can I quickly locate my birth chart?
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.
What is the rise in you?
Your rising or ascendant is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon when you were born. It offers insight into your abilities, capabilities, and potential coping mechanisms for navigating life. It speaks to the image you present to the worldsome could even call the mask you wear. If you’ve ever thought that people don’t immediately see you as your sun sign, that’s probably because they’re noticing your rising.
How can I discover all of my signs?
Your Sun sign is typically what is meant when someone inquires about your zodiac sign. Also, everyone is aware of their sun sign. Everyone has at least been a little intrigued about what the stars could say about them in the age of the Internet, where it’s simple to look it up. Others may look at their Sun sign and feel it makes absolutely no sense, while some people completely identify with it.
There are several explanations for that, including your Ascendant and Moon sign, which I’ll discuss later. Even if you don’t completely identify with the characteristics of that zodiac sign, from the perspective of the sky, you will see patterns that correlate due to planetary movements at any given time. This is why I always advise people to read for the Sun sign in daily, monthly, and yearly horoscopes.
Your date of birth is used to determine your Sun sign. You may need to consult your own natal chart if you were born on a day when the Sun changed signs because you might actually be in one sign rather than the other. Because you cannot have two Sun signs, cusps do not exist (despite attempts by pop culture publications to do so; stop making these efforts, Karen!).
How is a house chart in astrology read?
The ruling planet of the chart can also be found in the Ascendant. A person with a Sagittarius Ascendant, for example, lives in a world that is dominated by the bountiful Jupiter, whereas a person with a Pisces Ascendant is ruled by the compassionate Neptune.
The Ascendant is used not only to determine our unique terrain but also to design the unique structure of the chart. Birth charts are read counterclockwise, with the First House being defined by the horizontal line of the Ascendant. As we move up the chart’s sections, or Houses, we begin at the Descendent on the right side of the horizon and work our way up. The Twelfth House, which borders the Ascendant to the north, is where the cycle comes to a conclusion.
