Hi guys, I have noticed that in the relationships section, many people have the birth time of the others. Even with acquaintances, it seems the birth time is known.

How exactly do you accomplish this?? How do you even ask about it. I can’t imagine asking it without being strange and bringing astrology to topic. Sometimes I stalk people’s birthdays to read some composites, and we are not too close. How do you guys do it?

My partner works from 6am-2pm, yet he was out with his friends at almost 11pm on a weeknight. I was like: “What are you doing to your health? You must be born at night”
He responded: “Yup, 11:54pm.”

I just ask 😂
You'd be surprised how many people know their TOB and how ready they are to share it.

I wish that I could just ask them, but I’m afraid of sounding like a stalker! Only once I could get the birth time of some coworkers, because they were also into astrology a bit and I’ve checked their charts for them.

I usually start talking about astrology and once I got their interest, I offer to read their charts for them and that's how I got their birth times. Except cynics, most are quite curious of their natal.

The place I volunteer at has been alerting the newer recruits that I WILL be asking them what their Zodiac Sign and Birthday is.

It was soooo cute that these had been also pre-informed to find out and know what their Time of Birth is-- as-stamped ON their actual Birth Certificates.

I go gently on them, but DIRECT.
I don't press further.
People already know my interest.
Most have been 'curious'...

I use it as an occasion of Fun among peers.
Levity

The ones who provide the actual time of birth get a very quick mini-reading. They are 'rewarded' with a copy of their chart. For the ones who are really-interested, I might pencil-in notes on their chart.

They like it when I inform on Transits, Lunations, special Astro Sky-Events.

When some are having struggles or great things happen, they ask me what the Stars are saying.

I have learned to stay more quiet about any significant transits to their charts. It was scaring them...

ooooh, Don't want to do THAT!

So.. They already know about me.
I just stay very-very light with astrology info now.
Pressure is off of me.
Slowing down.....
Taking it Simple.

There are some great suggestions here!!
I enjoyed that.

In my experience, even when I ask, unless they have seen the birth certificate firsthand they're likely wrong, unfortunately. My own mother was wrong, by 4 hours, and I asked her often and she was adamant for years about the wrong time. It wasn't until she moved house that I found an old "Baby's 1st Yearbook" and my birth time was listed there.

Thank God for facebook so I can estimate people's moon sign. lol

I once dated a Marine. He had a binder with his birth certificate. He had to work a night once, so it hit me to look at his certificate and look up his rising sign.

With my boyfriend now I knew his moon was Gemini but not the degree. He did not care to know his birthtime. Somehow I managed to ease in the weird questions like what hospital he was born at. Was he born in the morning? Somehow I ended up asking his mom what time he was born. Then when he switched jobs I finally got to see his time. So I ran to the laptop right away.
My boyfriend knows I'm an astrology freak. So he accepted what I was doing. haha

I remember asking my now husband and his mother what his birth time was. Got almost an hour wrong and we saw the real time in an hospital record. Then we discovered our ACs are right opposed to each other!

Maybe I’ll offer some chart readings and see if others will reveal their birth times.

Yeah just ask. I usually am like 'I always tell myself that I won't be asking people's birth info but I just can never resist' lol and they tell me. It's good cuz 1) it sounds matter of fact and 2) there's a subconscious understanding that you ask this of everyone and not just them so it's cool. And then I just ask the follow up question, "do you know the time you were born too"... Like as long as you ask them casually with no specific agenda (and in the beginning still before stuff gets tacky and intense) then they'll believe that it's purely out of curiosity and your passion for Astrology.
