Making a Kundli, or birth chart, is an essential aspect of astrology since it gives information about a person's personality, relationships, job, health, and strengths and weaknesses. However, not knowing one's precise birth time is one of the most common problems people face. You might be wondering if you can have a natal chart without knowing when you were born. Yes, indeed! Even when the precise time of birth is unclear, skilled astrologers utilize particular methods to generate a birth chart.

In this blog, we'll discuss how an astrologer may build a natal chart without a birth time, go over the methods employed, and show how consulting an astrologer can give you correct information.

What is a Birth Chart?

A birth chart is a map that shows where the planets, Sun, and Moon were located when you were born. This map can tell astrologers many things about your life—your strengths, weaknesses, relationships, career, and much more. 

To create an accurate birth chart, astrologers need the exact time, date, and place of birth. The time of birth is especially important because it affects the position of certain planets and points in your chart. One of these important points is called the Ascendant or Rising Sign, which changes every two hours. Without the correct time, the Ascendant and other related information can be wrong.

Why is Birth Time Important in Astrology?

In Vedic astrology, the birth time is important for finding the Lagna (Ascendant), or rising sign. The rising sign, which forms the basis of the Janam Kundli by Date of Birth and influences all other elements such as houses, planets, and placements, changes roughly every two hours. Astrologers can figure out the accurate placement of planets in different houses and signs by using the exact birth time. Without it, the astrologer has to use other techniques to figure out the Ascendant and properly track the chart.

Methods for Obtaining a Natal Chart Without a Birth Date

If you are unsure of your birth time, a professional astrologer can estimate or compute it using a variety of techniques. Let's investigate a few of these methods.

Rectification Method

Birth time rectification is one of the most dependable methods for creating a natal chart without knowing the birth time. This involves studying important life events like marriage, changes in your work, family gatherings, health problems, or other turning points. A skilled astrologer can determine the probable time of birth by comparing these occurrences to the positions and motions of planets. 

During the rectification process, the astrologer might ask about significant life events, family information, career transitions, educational achievements, health issues, and marital status. 

To create a birth chart that is consistent with your experiences, the astrologer uses these details to help narrow down the potential birth time.

Using the Moon Sign Chart

Using a Moon sign chart is an additional method when the time of birth is uncertain. Without knowing the precise time of birth, one may establish the Moon sign because the Moon remains in a given sign for roughly 2.5 days. The Moon sign chart can still be helpful for basic readings because it offers a view of a person's feelings, mental state, and intuition. 

According to this technique, the Moon is the ascendant since it is in the first house. Although not as thorough as a full natal chart, a Moon sign chart can yet provide important information about a person's personality and emotional inclinations.

Check Your Birth Certificate

If possible, check your birth certificate. In some cases, hospitals may record the time of birth. This can be the easiest and most reliable option to get the exact time.

Conclusion

While knowing your exact birth time is helpful for creating an accurate birth chart, it’s not impossible to gain some insights into your life and personality without it. You can still learn about the positions of your Sun, Moon, and planets, as well as other key information. If you're curious about your birth chart but don’t know your birth time, you can always try a noon chart or consult an astrologer for help. 

Astrology is a powerful tool, and even if you don’t have all the details, there’s still a lot you can discover about yourself!
