Here are two key reasons why your birth time is essential to a reading:
1. Ascendant (Rising Sign): The exact time of birth determines the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. The rising sign plays a key role in shaping your personality, demeanor and how you present yourself to the world.
2. House Cusps: Your birth time is used to calculate the positions of the cusps of the 12 astrological houses. Each house represents different areas of life (i.e., relationships, career, home), and knowing the exact time of birth help in accurately determining the energy of each house.
How to find your birth time
It should be on your birth certificate. If not, the hospital you were born at may have a record. Ask you parents (if you can!). Look thru baby books. Some astrologers specialize in rectification, which is also an option.
