AntaryamiPanditji Edition
Ask for the source of a birth time before casting a kundli
A birth-time field needs a source as well as a value. A note made at birth, a rounded hospital entry and a relative's recollection each tell you something different about the instant. A Panditji can preserve that distinction before choosing which chart details to discuss.
Open the intake with one concrete question
Ask, “Where did this time come from?” Write the answer in the client's own terms. A fictional client might say their family recalls the time as just after a television programme ended. That might support a range after checking the programme schedule. It cannot justify inventing a minute. Another client may have a contemporaneous note whose handwriting needs a careful second reading.
Keep the record with the consultation only with permission. A short note saying “family recollection, about half an hour” may be enough. A photo of the whole document often adds personal information the practitioner does not need.
Choose what you can responsibly read
If plausible times give different rising signs or house placements, point out the moving part and leave its interpretation open. If a placement holds across the range, say which range you checked. When a better record arrives, update the calculation note and explain the effect on the old reading. The benefit of this intake habit is simple. The client can see whether a change came from their record or from the practitioner changing methods.
