“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 you find out which planet rules your horoscope?
Are you looking for the place in your birth chart that seems to be in charge? You might be intrigued to learn that the secret to your genuine astrological signature lies in your ascendant sign! Every sign of the zodiac is ruled by a separate planet, known as the planetary ruler. (For instance, Mercury rules both Virgo and Gemini, the Sun dominates Leo, the Moon rules Cancer.) Understanding which planet is influenced by your rising sign might reveal which placement in your chart will have the greatest impact on you throughout your life. Each of these planets leads the signs to behave differently inside your chart. This is due to the fact that your rising sign is situated in the first house of personality and self-identity.
It’s simple to locate your chart ruler. The planet that dominates the ascending sign is your chart’s ruler. Looking at your ascendant’s zodiac sign and the 12 astrological houses it occupies should be your first step once you have determined your rising sign. This will point out which planet in your natal chart governs your astrological chart. In assessing chart rulership for this blog, we’ll be using the traditional rulers of Pisces, Aquarius, and Scorpio.

The signs of Scorpio, Aquarius, and Pisceswhich have two planetary lords eachare another source of uncertainty.
Before Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were discovered, astrologers identified Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars as the respective principal rulers of each sign. Many astrologers advise utilizing the conventional ruler when examining your birth chart, even though Western astrologers have mostly replaced the old rulerships with the new planetary findings. This is due to the fact that your personal planets, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter, are more individualized and vary more from person to person.
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 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.
How can I tell who rules my seventh house?
The area of life in which the sign’s lesson will be learned is indicated by the sign on a house cusp. Since the ruler, or ROVING DELEGATE, of that sign conveys the message to another house, the principle is applicable to many facets of life.
For instance, the ruler of the fourth is in the eleventh when Virgo is on the fourth and Mercury is in the eleventh.
The same holds true if Venus is in the eleventh house and Taurus is on the fourth. In this case, the energy of the fourth house flows to the eleventh because Venus is the ruler of the fourth house.
As a result, the birth chart’s houses are connected in intriguing ways. As a messenger, the planetary ruler, also known as the “roving delegate of a house’s sign,” transfers energy from the house it rules to the house in which it is situated. Remember that there are numerous possible interpretations or manifestations of house rulers.
The house’s ruler can provide light on how we “act out the principles of that house” by showing us what we do. It demonstrates how the affairs of that house are carried out and so strongly relates to experiences. The ruler of the tenth house, for instance, demonstrates our efforts to establish our individual identities. The decisions made by a house’s ruler assist complete the overall picture. It’s intriguing to consider the relationship, if any, between the ascendant’s ruler and the actual ascendant. A person who is unclear of how to act is typically represented by an ascendant ruler who is square the actual ascendant. With this individual, it might be challenging for others to know what to anticipate because he or she might be brave one day and reserved the next.
It is important to consider the ruler of a house’s state. Its placement in the chart (for example, on an angle), the sign it is in, and the aspects it produces all play a role in determining its “condition.”
Ruler of the 1st House in the Houses: Interpretations
The first house ruler is also known as the “chart ruler.” Mars is the first house ruler, for instance, if Aries is in the first house. The ruler of the first house is in the seventh house if Mars is there. It can indicate our primary motives or interests, things we devote a lot of time and effort to, as well as the areas of our lives where we are driven to take initiative. When we feel insecure about being “out there and exposed to the world,” we may occasionally employ the energies connected to the house to shield ourselves. The first house’s state demonstrates how we respond to beginnings, novel circumstances, and being “seen at or acknowledged.” The first house is in charge of how we feel when we enter a new environment, whether that feeling is one of timidity, boldness, reticence, enthusiasm, and so forth. For instance, if the ruler of the first house is in the fourth house, we might forge close bonds with our families or establish a base of operations to help us feel comfortable and secure. In unfamiliar or situations when we are the center of attention, we might not feel particularly at ease.
When evaluating the ruler’s position and aspects, keep in mind the first house’s significance. The first house displays our defense systems and initial responses to new stimuli, how we automatically respond to a new circumstance, how we come across to people (the “personal first impression we create”), our mannerisms and physical bearing, as well as our physical form.
You place a lot of importance on how you come across to other people. You are keenly aware of your physique and self-conscious. You have some definite Aries characteristics even if you don’t have any planets in Aries. You are a leader, receptive, and occasionally impetuous. You have self-interest and self-motivation. You tend to be quite proactive since you live your life with the conviction that your destiny is in your own control.
You have a solid set of moral principles and place a higher emphasis on longevity and stability than other people. Since you have a tendency to develop routines and become set in your ways, some people may label you as being stubborn and unmovable. Although your main priority may be making a name for yourself financially, this position may also indicate a strong desire to establish roots. Much of what you do is driven by comfort and security, and you value long-lasting items. You have some definite Taurus characteristics despite not having any planets in the sign of Taurus.
Even if you don’t have any planets in Gemini, the third house ruler of your chart endows you with certain distinctive Gemini characteristics like adaptability, curiosity, and communication abilities. You might be restless, a little fidgety, and undoubtedly curious about the universe. You’ll probably be moving around the neighborhood a lot. You lead a jovial lifestyle, might be a “jack of all trades,” and enjoy people watching. You enjoy making connections between things, and you have a higher urge than most individuals to talk with friends about nothing in particular.
Some may describe you as a homebody. You have a strong desire for security and roots, which drives you. It’s possible that you “take after a parent fairly strongly, possibly following in his or her footsteps or looking a lot like this parent. You exhibit definite characteristics of the sign of Cancer even if no planets are in the sign. Building a “nest” may take a lot of your energy.
You exhibit distinctive Leo characteristics even if you don’t have any planets in the sign. You devote a lot of energy to your interests, your kids, or your creative efforts. Your enjoyment is vital to you! You must express yourself creatively, love the spotlight, and are probably highly amorous and self-assured. Being singled out and observed is accompanied by a certain expectant exhilaration. You adore the spotlight and frequently seek it out to satisfy your passion.
You value your work as a profession more than most people do. Given that work dominates your thoughts, you might be a little workaholic. Your reputation as a kind and responsible person among others is probably well-deserved. You are highly conscious of your body, thus it’s crucial that you follow a good diet and/or exercise routine. This boosts your self-assurance. You come across as modest and meek in many respects. You always have lots of advice to share with others and are happy to do so!
A spouse or close friend is a mirror of how you perceive and experience yourself. You frequently use how you relate to other people to define who you are. It almost seems necessary for you to act or make decisions if you can bounce ideas off of or gain input from another individual. Indirect decisions are made as a result of this feedback. As a result, you could discover that you waver a lot.
You are someone who easily recognizes that there is more to a situation or a person than first appears. You tend to be reticent, dislike “posing,” and have a strong dislike for anything that is merely surface-level. You exude an enigmatic, intimate, or seductive vibe. You don’t like to brag and appear to be happy to be left alone, at least that’s how people perceive you. You are normally fairly diligent, you enjoy studying psychology, and you might spend a lot of time “digging.” This may be a sign of handling other people’s money or a life-changing inheritance.
You tend to be gregarious, idealistic, and a dreamer. You are a growth-oriented individual and a natural philosopher who is typically prepared for an adventure on the spot. Your opinions are strong, and you normally have no problem expressing them to others. You might also be particularly drawn to travel.
Your intense need for acceptance might be a motivating factor in your life. You like organization and are typically prepared to take the lead. You are not afraid to accept accountability for both yourself and others. Certain individuals in this position “hide behind a position, such as a job, social standing, or reputation; or, they are very fond of letting others know their position in life.” You do seem to be a powerful person.
You prefer to discuss ideas with individuals who share your own, and you frequently look for other people who have similar interests to spend time with. You care deeply about other people’s well-being, and you value the idea of human equality. Those in this job are frequently very extroverted, social, and daring.
When you’re young, you might be bashful, but as you get older, you tend to develop techniques to control and hide your sensitivity. Since you have a keen sense of intuition, you are aware of the existence of unseen forces that shape daily events. You frequently look for something more elevated, such a deeper grasp of life’s significance or your role in it. Your aura reflects something secretive and enigmatic. You can have a lot of anxiousness at times. Even if you can be alone yourself, there are times when loneliness consumes you and nagging uncertainties and concerns follow you around. You are perceptive, and controlling your intense sensitivity may be a lifetime challenge.
