Question:

Here's a tough one. I don't know when my birthdate is.?

I want to know what my sign is, but can't trace my real birthdate. I was born in a country in 1974 where record keeping was not that important and my parent's didnt exactly keep a baby book. I want to know what my sign is, to find out what my astrological sign and attributes are, but I am clueless. Can I go by anything else? What have other people done in this situation? When I came to this country, my father just put a random date on my records and both he and my mom can't recall the date I was born. (The calendar also differs in this country where I was born). It's a war torn country so hospital records are long gone.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: What I would do in your case is use the date your father assigned to you when you entered the country, and treat it as if you were born at the port of entry. That is, you are using the date of your rebirth, not your original birth where records are no long available. Still, the dissonance between the date of your birth and the place of your birth would remain.

Please understand that what astrology does will probably only work moderately well for you, but you may get something useful from it. Mostly what astrology does is locate your birth in space and time, and then consider what influences were dominant in the heavens at that time. But it is all in order to position you with regard to a system of traditional symbols and interpretations which is only one way to do divination, and not the best way for you, considering the facts.

You might want to take up Tarot instead. The astrological signs are also used on many Tarot decks, and they serve as a link with astrological interpretations, but the cards themselves would be the stronger set of symbols for you.
