How do I find a birth time?

Importance of a correct birth time

Your horoscope is segmented into 12 divisions, known as houses. Each house represents a different facet of your life. An accurate birth time enables me to understand in which arena each planet influences you. Without this information, the consultation doesn't give the complete picture.

I cast a chart

Based on the approximate birth time you give me to see how it fits in with significant events in your life (which you would have listed with age and dates). I keep moving the clock and casting new charts until I find one that corresponds with enough events to say, "OK, this horoscope works".

Good Success Rate

I don't promise to always succeed, although I do have a 95% success rate, sometimes down to the second. Success often depends on how good you are at remembering significant events with dates (down to months if possible).

What I need from you when you come for the appointment

At least 5 dates (if possible 2-3 years apart) that made a difference to your life.

• For example, the birth of a baby is not significant. If you were struggling to fall pregnant, it's very important.
• If someone close to you died and the impact was just the expected sadness, it isn't important. If the person's death meant relief, start of new independence, spiritual awakening, etc then it's useful.

Please write your age at the time of each event and one or two words to describe the event's significance in your life (such as identity confusion, new responsibility, freedom, fear, etc)

If any of the events occurred around the age of 28-29 or 58-59 years old, I need an extra event.

If you have an approximate birth time to start at, it would help.

How long does the birth rectification take?

Rectification can take anything from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on your memory of dates and whether we have a starting point. If I haven't got the correct time after an hour, chances are we won't get it.

For reasons I'd explain at the time, it is sometimes impossible to work out a birth time and because the process is time-consuming, I do charge you the hourly rate, payable in advance, even if unsuccessful.
