सही जन्म समय नहीं पता तो क्या करें

What are the problems encountered while assessing the correct date?

The major perplexing problem astrologers face these days is the lack of accurate birth data of the querent. There could be many reasons for this. In villages, time maintenance could pose a major problem as there would not be anyone to keep a reliable time. All the astrologer is left with is the reference provided by the clients about the native. Doctors in the hospital, during the birthing process, keep providing the timing once every five minutes. This alone does not decide the right timing. Suppose the child is born at 7.15 pm while, as per the doctor, it is 7.16 pm. This minute change also makes a huge difference in the final assessment of the natal chart. Furthermore, the doctor's focus is naturally on the delivery process, and less centered on the birth time. Usually, kundlis are prepared by astrologers soon after birth, and these are used for future reference by the parents. How will it be if the date of birth is not available in the case of a person who wants a natal chart to be cast?

Some astrologers work on the general information given by the person, including his name, his parent's name, and age. He can also inform the astrologer of the approximate time of birth and the prevailing weather during birth. An error in fixing the birth time by a few minutes can present a wrong perspective of the natal chart. This is the case when only the D1 chart is considered for interpretation. A minute of difference concerning even one of the divisional charts can change the entire interpretation course.

What is Birth Time Rectification?

Birth Time Rectification is the basic tool for an astrologer to deduce the appropriate inferences. It is a complicated and time-consuming process, and the calculations require the deft hand of an expert astrologer to point at the correct finding. Only proficient astrologers with experience can handle these tricky queries.

What are the challenges faced by astrologers while deducing the correct time of birth?

Astrologers employ several ways and means to find the time of birth in astrology; They may refer to your parent's chart or sibling's chart and use this data to interpret the time of your birth. By the technique of Nashta Jataka, they trace the horoscope timings. An astrologer uses the prashna kundali and other predictive techniques and analyses to compute the degree of planets, the nakshatra of the Moon, date of birth, the position of navamsha, dwadashamsa, and other divisional illustrations, etc. they use nashta jataka to know the birth details. Sometimes, the date of birth is unknown, or there may be confusion regarding the date. Normally people remember dates by connecting them with some important events that happened around the time of birth. In such a case, one can refer to the panchang of that month to arrive at the correct date. By reading only the Lagna chart, you cannot deduce much as the Lagna takes two hours to change over. Sometimes, the finer charts are studied using the wrong birth time. Both these methods do not point at the desired result.

When there is an absolute lack of any connecting data, you can use the nashta jataka or the prashna jataka method. Let us see how Prashna jataka tries to fill in the right and assumed timing gap. Prashna jataka is all about the arrival time of the querent, his first words, etc. The astrologers prepare the horoscope by checking this information with the details given by the family. The horoscope of parents is also verified to get results. In the branch of horoscopy, calculations are made based on planetary positions and asterisms. The time of birth is essential to draw the horoscope and infer the results correctly. Approximate details such as season or month of birth, horoscope of parents, palmistry predictions, and physiognomy do not help us set up a reliable birth chart for the native, let alone interpret it. Sometimes, in the absence of the main horoscope and birth details, the rutu jatakas or the jataka erected at puberty can be relied upon. Lost horoscope or nashta jataka comes to your rescue here, as it can help the astrologer cast the horoscope by taking the help of predictive questions and rectification methods. It is based on facts and hence always a worthwhile effort.

Which method works best for birth time rectification?

All the above are not foolproof methods, and they have their loopholes. But, the best method, however, would be to compute the Day chart, number chart, relatives' chart, Prashna chart, etc., to proceed with the question. Of all the methods, the best method would be the Shrankhala method, otherwise known as a series method. The past events are taken chronologically, and other events to conclude the timing rightly. The D1 chart must be read along with the success chart, karma chart, and soul chart to deduce the nature of the native's fortunes correctly. If you cannot correctly draw these due to issues with the right birth timing, they can’t present you with the right picture of your life.
