Today’s AstroMonday topic is about Unknown Birth Times!

This is a topic that has always interested me since I’ve been dabbling around birth charts.  I don’t have the birth times for my Mother or Father, so a lot of it has been a guessing game for me.

For my Mom, she was born in a foreign country and the area where she was born, didn’t keep birth times on their records.  With my Father, I haven’t attempted to pursue his birth time information because he doesn’t believe in astrology, let alone any other new age/occult type of topics.

My Mom is a Scorpio and my Dad is a Sagittarius.  The next step, was finding my parents’ moon signs.  I was very happy to find this site: Lunarium: Find Your Moon Sign!  I found out that my Mom has a Taurus moon and my Dad has an Aries moon.  I was very excited to find out this information, which makes a lot of sense.

My Mom has a really thrifty side to her and is always talking about the greatest bargains she’s snatched… but I said to myself, “There’s no way that Mom has Taurus in one of her big planets”.  I was wrong.  :)

As for my Dad, it totally justifies all of the fire in his personality!

The next thing that I would like to do is to find my parents’ rising sign.  I think my Mom’s may be an Air sign- she likes to talk a lot- I think it may even be Aquarius.  Then I think my Dad’s may be an Earth sign, maybe even Taurus rising.  He is pretty stubborn (but I think that’s also a Sagittarian trait) and whenever I think of him, I think of this Earthly sign.  I’m just not sure what it is.

After tweeting with some people on Twitter, they say that the best way to find out these things is to make a list of all of the significant things that have happened in their life.  When they moved, when they got their first pair of glasses, when they got married, etc.  It will definitely be a long list – I’m not sure if I could do it though.  I’m still having problems learning the planets!

I would really like to find out these things myself, but I think that this is way over my head.  I’ll leave it to the professionals!

Have any of you had luck trying figuring out unknown birth times?
