Record the source, not just the time
A time on a hospital record, a family memory and an estimate of ‘some time after lunch’ carry different uncertainty. In your profile, choose exact, approximate or unknown according to the information you actually have. ‘Exact’ describes the record you supplied; it is not independent verification of that record.
- If a record is available, check whether it uses a 12-hour or 24-hour clock.
- Use the birth location rather than your current city.
- For an approximate time, include the uncertainty range if you know it.
Why the uncertainty matters
Simply Panditji calculates traditional chart context from the date, location and time you provide. Where a time is approximate or unknown, the engine considers a time interval. It withholds a single ascendant, house layout and dasha schedule rather than choosing noon and presenting it as your actual birth time. A guide should explain which facts are stable and which depend on the missing input.
Keep the question useful
Try asking, ‘Which parts of this reading remain uncertain, and what can I reflect on without a precise time?’ For a work decision, add the real options and deadline. For a relationship question, describe what you have observed. Those details help the conversation stay connected to your life, rather than making a chart carry more certainty than it can.
A reading has limits
The calculations use an approximate Lahiri sidereal convention and selected traditional methods. They are not a validated way to establish future events. Birth-time rectification, compatibility scores and automatic yoga or dosha classification are not offered. Do not change a recorded time merely to obtain an interpretation you prefer.
