* Birth Time , Rectification *
NOTES ON BIRTH DATA:
If you do not know your exact TIME OF BIRTH, Ascendant and Moon sign and degree, as well as house cusps and a few other points in the natal chart are impossible to find out. What do do?
1) You can try to find out your BIRTH CERTIFICATE and ask your parents / parental figures about your birthtime. Contact the hospital where you were born (birth house in Russia and ex-USSR countries).
2) Ask your parents/ whoever witnessed birth what were the circumstances of your birthtime. Tell your astrologer. For example, there are people who were born in transport (yes, bizarre!) - car, train, airplanes, etc. Or there might be a dramatic / unexpected event in your family on the day of birth or closer to it.
3) Even if you know your birth time I'd always double check again with your certificate and parents / guardians / relatives what the time might be as it is not uncommon when the time varies within 30-60 minutes if you ask again :).
4) Rectification is another - I do not offer this service, however if you contact me I can recommend you a qualified professional astrologer who offers this service (a list of life events with exact dates if needed). The wider is the corridor of possible birthtime the harder it is to do rectification. Most astrologers who offer this service only rectify the charts where time of birth is known within 2 hours. (of course there is no point to make it up as it would not allow to give a proper information).
NB: please note, that it is quite common to have different time of birth as a result of rectification of different astrologers. In the long run it is the personality of astrologer and his/ her approach that also matters. And even without time of birth at times one can find out useful information about natal chart.
5) There are few things which are possible to interpret even without exact birthtime, the horoscope without astrological houses is called "cosmogramm" (when the day-month-year is used, also place of birth might be used).

CHARTS & SOFTWARE
There are 10+ professional quality software that astrologers can use and each of them offers A LOT OF settings.
For example, in the video on my vlog - see resources page - I show how to calculate a natal chart with one type of settings in a free online software.
In each of these software (some of them are very expensive, some are more affordable), you can calculate charts in a slightly different way, for example I've worked with 5 professional chart calculators / software (3 Western and 2 Russian) and they all look different in some way depending on the settings - layout, aspects orb, elements included, colors, etc. It is kind of like your computer in a way, you can tune it up to your needs to some extent.
Confusing? YES! :)
That's why an ASTROLOGER can help you to create the right chart for the specific request and answer burning, actual questions. Astrology is like an ocean of information, it is a lifetime journey and even professional astrologers with 30+ years of practical experience say they learn every day and can discover something new in their own chart (which is hard to believe, yet it is the case).
So it is layers. You process information on 1 layer, and then another and so on.
Doors can open when you need them.
At the same time I think that most people can benefit from knowing the basics of astrology.
It can be use for so many things in life. It also (as dancing) keeps brain sharp till you are over 90 :) and can be a remediation for some tough influences from the planets (when I get a new website, there will be blog as well and I will tell you more about it).
If you are an aspiring astrologer, astrology student, or an astrology enthusiast, it is important to learn the difference between some settings in software and choose what works for your and your clients, friends, whoever charts you practice on, you might be using only 5-25% of what the software offers and it can be just enough in many cases. Use both theoretical and technical knowledge, and practical experience with your intuition and common sense, learn how to see the bigger picture and the details and correlation between a lot of astrological elements, circumstances, significations, important information and not get lost in the detail and the sea of possibilities.
Feel free to contact for any further questions about consultations.
