The IMPORTANCE of an ACCURATE BIRTH TIME IN ASTROLOGY Your birth time is of the most critical importance in the calculation of a correct birth chart. With the birth time the astrologer (or program) is able to locate the planets in relationship to their position around the earth, most notably the relationship of the planets to the Horizon & Verticle Meridian. By locating the planets in the twelve houses of astrology, their influence is able to be referenced to a specidfic department of life. This has far reaching consequences for how one expeiriences Personal Life Cycles, as the various cycles of the planets will be associated with these different departments of life in a unique and personal way. It is WELL WORTH THE EFFORT to AQUIRE YOUR !ACCURATE!BIRTH TIME if you do not have it already. Every 4 minutes a new degree rises on the horizen and alters the chart accordingly. Many times you can count on a parent for accurate data of the birth time. Sometimes you cannot. The written record is always good to refer to for events long past. However, not all birth records are accurate just because they were written down. Sometimes they are a few minutes off or perhaps have the wrong day but the right time. Each needs to be reviewed independantly. Where to get Your Birth Certificate: Since the Privacy Act of 1974, only the person, his or her parents or legal representative is able to obtain the birth certificate for eighteen states. On fourteen more of the applications, a relationship to the person is required. Most states require a reason given for the document: some may accept the reasons of: Genealogical study, research on date-time patterns, book or article material. Others may not. This report is not inclusive as all the information is not in. Note the following code: P. Parents names (with mother's maiden name). R. Relationship to the person. S. Name of closest sibling.
