It is a very important piece when casting the birth chart as it sets up the Ascendent (Rising sign) as well as placement of all the planets. A general reading can still be done with no birth time however it will lack many details that you can get from knowing your birth time.

Birth times can be found on most birth certificates or at city hall in your place of birth. Asking a relative can give you a time or even an approximate time, which is helpful within a couple of hours and will help if nothing else is available. Contact me with any questions. I'm happy to answer.

It does seem like astrology can predict the future, however what we are doing is reading cycles and patterns and when cycles and patterns repeat themselves, we have a good idea what to expect. So in some ways yes we can tell what is coming, in some ways no. It is patterns, cycles, archetypes, and nature, and we are all of these things also. We are our astrology, and our astrology is us. It is part of our story, but we also write it with our actions. Let's talk about it.

We can look at your compatibility needs, responsibility, and ideas for partnerships, relationships, care without looking at someone else's information directly. It is not ok to do a reading on someone who has not given their permission. This is an invasion of privacy, personal space and is unethical. Schedule a time if you want to look at your role in a dynamic.

No mercury retrograde is not bad. All the planets in the sky will have an apparent movement of retrograde motion at some point in the year. Retrograde motion represents a period of inter-reflection, slowing down and integration. We don't have to believe the scary or worrisome language about it. Slowing down our communications can be a good thing too. My Patreon Group is a great community for understanding and discussions about these kinds of things and more.

The rising sign is the Zodiac sign that was on the Eastern horizon the moment you were born. That is determined by the day, exact time of birth and location of birth. Consider a class to learn more, basic, intermediate, advanced, and community. Contact me for more info.
