You can still study your chart without a birth time if none of these solutions work, but you won’t be able to determine your ascendant or how the houses are aligned. Instead, you’ll concentrate on the planetary configurations and their interactions with one another. You only need your birthdate to complete this. Go to our website or the CHANI app. Fill out all the fields and choose 12 PM as the time of your birth. You can find the locations of all the planets from here (with the possible exception of the Moon, if it changed signs that day.) To find out what aspects (relationships) a planet is making with other planets, simply click on the planet that interests you.
Keep in mind that this method is only effective for learning about the planets in your chart. The ascending sign, house placements, as well as the MC, IC, and DC, must all be disregarded.
You can also designate your Sun to be the rising sign. Taking your Sun sign and writing your horoscope as if it were the 1st House is how popular astrological and magazine column horoscopes are actually written.
Google “What time was sunrise on your day of birth from your birth location” to do this. You will then be given a time that corresponds to the same rising sign as your sun sign. then visit our website or the CHANI app. Include your birthplace and date of birth in every field. If your rising sign and your sun sign aren’t the same for whatever reason, double-check your information and try adding or removing 5 minutes. That ought to solve the issue.
Although your horoscope will always be more accurate if you know your precise birth time, this method can still provide important details and is less arbitrary than choosing a random time.

Can you quickly determine your 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.

Do we have enough time to match Kundli?
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.
How is the birth time corrected?
There are various points of view and perspectives in Vedic astrology regarding the importance of noting the birth time. The most common perspective is to note the child’s birth time, which occurs when he or she emerges from the mother’s womb. Another opinion holds that the child’s first cry should be used to determine the time of birth. The child may not cry, though, in some instances, unless the nurse slaps it. Some astrologers believe that the birth time should be determined by the instant the child’s umbilical cord is severed and they are no longer dependent on their mother. Within three to five minutes after the infant is born from the womb, the umbilical chord is often severed. However, it is impossible to prove with certainty that the documented birth time is accurate to the minute. In rare instances, it has been discovered that the documented birth time places the ascendant’s degrees at the intersection of two Rashi’s, leaving astrologers in the dark as to the ascendant’s true rising sign (lagna). Many times, incorrect divisional charts (Vargas) are produced by the recorded birth time, which prevents accurate forecasts.
Hindu astrology’s classical texts have provided some techniques for adjusting the time of birth, however these techniques are primarily focused on astrology’s mathematical features. Others are based on the weekday of the birth and the Nakshatra ruling that day. Some ways employ the position of the Moon or Mandi. However, these techniques are quite generic in nature and frequently provide incorrect ascendant degrees. It has been discovered that these approaches require at least a 25-minute gap between two births on a specific weekday and in a specific Nakshatra, which is not feasible.
Tattwa Shodana Theory of Birth Time rectification
The late Shri D.V. Subbarao, a renowned astrologer from Andhra Pradesh, developed the Tattwa Shodana Theory, which is based on Nadi. According to this idea, each planet is given the lordship of an element or Tattwa. For each weekday, these five TattwasAgni (fire), Prithvi (earth), Vayu (air), Jala (water), and Aakash (space)are organized in a particular order. Male and female human babies are born at specific intervals of time. There is a specific order in which trees, animals, birds, etc. are born. Five Tattwas are assigned to rule each of the seven planets. Agni or Tejo Tattwa is ruled by Mars and the Sun, Prithvi Tattwa by Mercury, Vayu Tattwa by Saturn, Jala or Soma Tattwa by Venus and the Moon, and Aakash Tattwa by Jupiter. The lord of these Tattwa’s controls a specific time period of a few seconds on a specific weekday. Male and female babies are born at specific intervals of a few seconds, according to the lords of various Tattwas. The female birth occurs during the control of the Moon, Venus, and Saturn, and the male birth occurs during the control of the Sun, Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter. The ancient text “Jataka Phala Chintamani” mentions that these Tattwa revolve in a particular order.
According to the “Tattawa Shodhana”theory, birth times can be altered up to 3 minutes apart, and using the “anter tattwa Siddhantha,” times can be adjusted up to roughly 12 seconds apart. This is interesting because it matches the Nadi Amsha, which divides each sign into 150 minutes, giving a specific time for each Nadi Amsha. In addition, a Nadi Amsha is further broken into two sections, Poorvabhagh and Uttarabhagh, for a total of 300 divisions of a sign. Each Nadi Amsha lasts for 24 seconds if the lagan is performed for around 2 hours.
Each Nadi Amsha now contains two parts and lasts for 24 seconds. One is called “Poorvabhagh,” and the other is called “Uttarbhagh.” As a result, each of the two halves of a Nadi Amsha lasts for 12 seconds. The Nadi Amsha results are determined by whether the birth occurred in the first part (Poorvabhagh) or second part (Uttarabhagh) of a specific Nadi Amsha.
The birth time can be corrected according to the Tattwa Shodhan hypothesis by up to 12 seconds, which is exactly a portion of Nadi Amsha. This birth time rectification approach does have some significant limitations, though. Without using an event-based hindsight analysis, we are unable to verify the birth time after these meticulous calculations. With my teacher Shri K.N. Rao, we’ve talked about the aforementioned birth time rectification techniques. The event-based correction of the horoscope is, in Shri K.N. Rao’s opinion, the greatest technique for correcting birth times. The 16 Vargas that the Sage Parashara mentions in this approach, as well as the time periods in which their ascendants are shifting, must be the focus of the astrologer. For instance, the Dashamsha has ten divisions of three each, the Navamsha has nine divisions of three meters each, and the Chathurathamsha has four divisions of seven meters each. After correcting these Vargas, one may closely correct the ascendant’s degrees within a 2- to 3-mark range. After that, one can move on to finer Vargas like Dwadamsha, which has 12 divisions of 2 30′, and Shodamsha, which has 16 sections of 1 52′.
It takes a thorough study of the classical Hindu astrological principles and their practical application to divisional horoscopes to do an event-based correction.
How significant is the time of birth in astrology?
Let’s begin by discussing the significance of your precise birth time in astrology in general. Your own adventure on earth starts when you are born and breathe for the first time, claims Gold Ring Astrology. Your spiritual journey also begins the moment you step foot in the human world, and it is also the time the fabric of your life’s story begins to take shape.
Birth timing is significant primarily for this reason. Your ascendant, or rising, signthe sign that was visible over the eastern horizon at the time of your birthis determined by the precise hour of your birth (via Mind Body Green). Your ascendant sign reflects both your worldview and how others perceive you (via Allure).
