How to help when a client does not know their birth time
When a birth time is unknown, the most useful consultation may start with a narrower question. A Panditji can explain which parts of a chart depend on the missing time and offer a path to a better record. A general timing question for a ceremony can often be discussed on its own terms with an event location and an agreed method.
Give the client a choice of next steps
Someone preparing a family event might remember that they were born “in the morning.” Ask whether a household record or hospital entry is available. If they can only provide a broad range, mark it as such. A tool can be used to test stability across a justified interval if it supports that work, while sensitive results stay provisional.
The Ascendant and house placements deserve particular care because they depend on the local horizon. A position near a division boundary can change across an uncertain interval. Any chart that assumes a time needs that assumption printed beside it.
Keep the practical question in view
Ask why they came today. If the immediate issue is finding a shared time for a puja, discuss the family's tradition, the city and what the household can manage. Save a personal reading for a later conversation if better information becomes available. People often arrive expecting a complete chart or no help at all. A clear explanation of what can be discussed gives them a third way forward.
