If you don’t know your birth time offhand, is it on your birth certificate? If not, I recommend ordering a long-form birth certificate, specifically requesting that it have your birth time on it. You can also contact the hospital where you were born to obtain your birth records. Failing that, do you have any living relative or family friend who might remember or a baby book that includes it? If not, there are a couple of options available to you.
The first is rectification, which is the process of trying to figure out your time of birth by using whatever data you have and the timing of life events that you are sure about. It is a little lengthy and costly, and it can never guarantee your birth time, but many are very happy with the results.
Find an astrologer who does this work and who can help you figure out your approximate birth time by working with the most important life events that you can recall.
The other option is to work with what you have , knowing you’ll be engaging with astrology but in a much less specific way. You won’t know what houses your planets or signs are in, but you will still derive a lot of information about the strengths and challenges of your astrological makeup by being able to see what signs your planets are in and what relationships the planets are making to each other in your chart.
You won’t know what your Ascendant is, or what the ruler of the Ascendant is, which is one of the keys outlined . However, knowing about your Sun and Moon, and their relationships to the other planets in your chart, can still offer a lot of valuable astrological data to work with. The pattern in the sky will still reveal something specific and informative about your life’s calling.
