Hi everyone. I am studying palmistry along with astrology, and often ask people I am taking hand prints from about their birth times. Most of the people I come across don't know their exact birth time. I'm lucky if I get a ballpark time. I was curious about comparing charts with what I am discovering in the hands, but I can't get very far with only approximate birth times.
My palmistry studies aside, I'm just curious how others work around this issue. I know people can use the moon lagna as an alternate reading when the birth time is not known. If you have any other suggestions or ideas for how to give valuable chart-based information to people without accurate birth times, kindly let me know.
Lastly, are there any specific techniques someone could use to rectify a horoscope to get a more accurate birth time? The answer to this question is probably complicated, but if there are some more simple or accessible techniques to narrow birth time windows, I'll be happy to know them.
Thanks in advance.
The Lajjitaadhi avasthas are generally not dependant on an accurate birthtime. Only if you are really off, the Moon and any fast-moving planet that is close to changing rasi are affected. Gives deep insights in the psychology of the person.
Also the Cards of Truth-system is not very time-sensitive. You must now whether the person was born at night or after around 8 o´clock in the morning though, and if the birthtime is between 5.40-7.40, more or less, it´s hard to know what card represents a card.
The nakshatras are pretty safe to use in most cases. Only if the Moon is about to change nakshatra and/or the time is really off, you can´t use it.
ShadBala works without exact birthtime. Again: only the Moon changes much within a day or two, in most cases.
Some of the character yogas (check in the audio courses for that) still work.
Chara Karakas are mostly useful.
Those are some aspects of astrology that are mostly reliable even without knowing the exact birthtime.
And then using the Moon as a lagna, as you say.
As for rectification there is a special course about that on the site.
