Find your rising without a birth time
Don’t know what time you were born? See every possible rising sign for your birth date and place.
Without a birth time, you can’t identify one rising sign. You can see the time windows for each possibility.
Your whole birth day
Example · 9 April 1988 · London, United Kingdom
Local time · London
Select an arc or a row to inspect a time window.
Rising: unknown. Every time window is listed here.
Day share shows how long each sign was rising that day, as a proportion of the actual elapsed time in your local birth day.
Times use the birth place’s historical local time, including daylight saving changes.
What you can know without a birth time
See which planetary signs stay the same all day. Where a planet changes signs, you’ll see both possibilities and the local change time.

How to find your recorded birth time
England and Wales: you can order a full birth certificate from the GRO or local register office, but it normally won’t give the time. The GRO guide notes times for multiple births. Scotland: birth entries record the time.
United States: ask your birth state’s vital records office whether a long-form certificate includes the time. Many states record it; availability varies. In New York City, request a long form and give “time of birth” as the reason.
Hospital maternity records may help if they’re still held. A baby book or a parent’s recollection can offer clues, if available. You can enter a remembered part of the day below as a rough window.
The Ascendant marks the first house and depends on place and time. If you find a recorded time, compare it with your day’s windows.
Narrow it down to three candidates
An optional rough time window, ten answers about looks and first impressions, and three to five dated life events help rank the candidates. The method checks Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto transits—their positions on your event dates—and solar arcs, an astrological timing method. These are compared with the Ascendant (ASC) and Midheaven (MC).
Your PDF includes the top three rising signs, their time windows and model scores, a chart with houses for candidate #1, and a separate page: What changes if it’s #2?
Optional: PDF + 2 share cards for €9.90, or €14.90 with a full birth-chart PDF.
This report is an estimate based on your answers, life events and astrological timing methods.
Report percentages express a model score. “Share of the day” in the free result measures time.
Your Big Three, with room for a question mark
Your Sun, Moon and possible rising sign also arrive as a 9:16 story card and a square card. The question mark and runner-up stay visible.
These are the actual sample files. Their scores belong to a fictional example.
Add the clues you have
For the optional report, choose a rough time window if you have one, answer ten questions and add three to five dated life events. Use event categories and dates; leave out other people’s names.
The free calculator runs in your browser. Your answers and events are sent to Stripe and to us in the order code, used for your report, and deleted 30 days after delivery.

Birth chart with an unknown time: your questions
Can I calculate a birth chart with an unknown time?
Yes. You can see which planetary signs stay the same throughout your birth day and which change. Your rising sign and houses depend on the time; the free wheel shows every possible rising-sign window.
What can a birth chart calculator show when the time is unknown?
With your birth date and place, this calculator shows rising-sign windows, planetary signs and aspects that hold throughout the day. If a planet changes signs, you see both signs and the local change time.
How can I find my rising sign if I don’t know my birth time?
Start with your birth date and city to see all possible windows. Look for a recorded time in official or hospital records. The optional report ranks three candidates using your answers and dated life events.
What if my Moon changes signs?
You see both possible Moon signs and the local change time. If the Moon stays in one sign all day, you can know your Moon sign without a birth time.
How are the candidates ranked?
Ten answers about looks and first impressions are combined with three to five dated life events and an optional rough time window. The method compares planetary transits and solar arcs to the Ascendant and Midheaven. Report percentages are model scores.
When will my report arrive?
Your files arrive by email from [email protected], usually within minutes and within 24 hours at the latest. Check your spam folder too. Reply to the delivery email if you need to correct your details.
