Importance of Birth Time

Take a moment and visualize the second you took your first breath and cried out loud, announcing your arrival into this world as the rising Sun of your life… That very moment, the point rising on the Eastern horizon is known as the Lagna, meaning “attached to” or “fixed on.” It is through this gateway that an astrologer enters the layers of your being—mental, emotional, energetic, and physical. The time you were born is so vital that it serves as the foundation for determining, among all the potentials indicated by the planets in the zodiac, what will actually manifest in your life.

An astrological chart can reveal a significant portion of life’s potential, but the accuracy of that revelation is highly dependent on having the correct birth time. Even with precise details, not everything can be fully known or controlled. There are layers of influence at play—some manifest, some hidden from view. For a deeper understanding of how the cosmos, freewill, and divine forces interplay in shaping your life, I invite you to explore more on the Understanding Vishnu, Freewill, and the Divine Plan page. There, you can gain a more comprehensive perspective on how much we can perceive and what remains beyond our grasp.

Birth time rectification

This is one of the most intricate services an astrologer can offer, often priced double or triple the cost of a basic reading. Without an accurate birth time, the rest of the analysis may lack precision.

If your birth time is uncertain, the accuracy of the reading will depend on how close your provided birth time is to the actual moment. I require your cooperation during this step, starting with the birth time you usually use, as well as significant life events with exact dates, months, and years. These events will assist in rectifying your birth time.

Important: At this time, I am able to rectify birth times within a margin of +/- 5 minutes. If your birth time is based on memory or family recollection and you do not have an official birth certificate or reliable source, I recommend seeking the expertise of a skilled astrologer who specializes in broader birth time rectification. You can find a list of trusted astrologers here.

Alternatively, if you have a specific question and prefer not to undergo a birth time rectification or full birth chart analysis, you may opt for a Prasna reading, which does not require birth time information. Learn more about Prasna readings here.
