After practicing traditional astrology for 35 years I recently joined an astrology forum. Its possible to cast a 12 Noon horoscope without having a birth time. I was told I was practicing "non-horoscopic astrology". This pronounced antipathy towards any other format other than the hellenic, degree wheel based on one's exact time of birth seems excessive and defeatist.
Its as if one may not deduce any client personality characteristics by using longitude and aspects; by the birthday itself. I was also blithely informed, "Without an ascendant there is no horoscope". This summary judgment makes no sense.
Many people do not know their time of birth. Even more have incorrect time(s) listed on birth certificates. Since the 18th century astrologers have been using 12:00 Noon horoscopes as a viable and workable alternative.
If the moon is at a critical degree, say the 29th, and is about to change to the next sign I'll admit a birth time could be an important asset when looking at emotional motive.
More to the point; I've found outer planets, signs, degrees and their aspects tell us much more than first believed.
In particular, I like to focus on fixed stars when conjunct a planet. The presence of Caput Algol (Medusa) at 26 Taurus impacting any planet is of major importance when looking at death through dark & unpleasant circumstances, like murder or disaster. With Venus as Algol's sub-ruler we obtain added information - re. how people love and are loved.
Late August 2015; the 26th at 6:45 am EDT.
It was a senseless, brutal gun crime, the deaths of two cheery news staffers from WDBJ TV in Roanoke, VA. It was an ugly event of major import, one where the identified perpetrator and ex-coworker, Vester Flanagan, (b. October 8, 1973 Oakland, CA) has no recorded birth time (yet).
Here are two horoscopes; the first is his natal and the second cast for Flanagan's First Day at WDBJ.
Wounded in Love -
Of huge importance is his natal Venus 29 Scorpio and the positions of fixed star
*Caput Algol* @ 26 degrees TAURUS in both charts. Flanagan's natal Venus opposes Algol while being in the critical anaretic degree; about to change, always restless.
