Not sure of your birth time?

Your ascendant changes about every two hours, and with it every house in your chart. If your birth time is uncertain, we can test every possible time against the dates of big events in your life — the time where those events line up best with your dasha periods and the transits of Jupiter and Saturn is the most likely one.

1. When could you have been born?

Betweenand

A narrower range gives a more reliable answer. "Early morning" is roughly 04:00–08:00.

2. Big events in your life

At least three; five or more is better. Month and year are enough. Only use events you are sure of.

Questions people ask

What is birth time rectification?
It is the way an astrologer recovers an uncertain birth time. The rising sign changes about every two hours, and with it every house of the chart, so a wrong time gives a wrong reading. Rectification tests the possible times against things that have already happened in your life and keeps the time that explains them best.
What do I need to use it?
Your date and place of birth, a rough idea of when in the day you were born (or no idea at all), and the month and year of at least three big events: a marriage, a child, a new job, a move abroad, the loss of a parent and the like. Five or more events give a steadier answer.
How reliable is the result?
It gives the most likely time within the range you allow and shows how clearly that time stands out from the others. A narrow range and well-remembered events give a clear answer; a whole day and few events give a weaker one, and the page tells you so plainly.
Does it cost anything?
No. It is free. A free account is needed so the check can use your own birth date and place, and so you can save the time it finds to your chart if you choose to.
What if I have no birth time at all?
Choose the whole day. The check then tries every time from midnight to midnight. Give as many dated events as you can, because with the whole day open the events have to do all the work.
