Do not know the time? Leave it at 12 noon. The planets will still be right; the rising sign will not.
City not on the list? Pick the nearest one in the same country. A few hundred kilometres makes almost no difference. All times are standard time, without daylight saving.
This is a simple calculation, correct to about one degree. A full reading uses proper astronomical tables and your exact birth place.
Your Moon is very close to the edge of a nakshatra. At this level of accuracy the next one is also possible, so it is worth checking properly.
This is the most common reason people delay a reading, and it can usually be fixed. Three places to look.
Do not ask for the clock time. Ask what was happening — before breakfast, during the evening news, on the way home from work. People remember that much better, and a rough window is better than a guess.
Birth certificates have the time more often than people think. So do hospital discharge papers, baby books, vaccination cards and old family letters. If the certificate is lost, you can ask the municipal office for a copy.
Just tell us at booking. Nothing is wasted. Without an exact time the planets are still right, but the houses and rising sign are not. We will tell you clearly which parts to trust and which to take lightly.
