Why Is Birth Time Important?

House cusps move continuously through the day, and in KP astrology the Sub-Lord of a cusp can change within a matter of minutes. Because of this sensitivity, an accurate birth time materially affects the precision of a KP analysis.

What if the recorded time is uncertain?

This is common - many birth certificates and family records round the time to the nearest five or fifteen minutes, or the exact minute may simply not have been noted. In such cases, some KP practitioners use a process called birth time rectification, which studies major life events against the chart to help narrow down a more probable birth time.

Birth time rectification is listed as a specialist service on the Consultations page, pending confirmation of current availability from Shri Deepak Pawar.
