Why Birth Time is Critical
The Rising Sign changes approximately every 2 hours, making it the most time-sensitive element in your natal chart. Even being off by 15-30 minutes can result in the wrong Rising Sign.
Your birth time also determines your house cusps—the framework that shows where each area of life plays out in your chart. Without an accurate birth time, house placements are unreliable.
