You need to acquire information about your birth time and place, in order to calculate your natal chart for a session. Please be aware of the following details:

Birth Time
(please include the source of this information)

Try to obtain as accurate a time as possible. This information may be available in the hospital records where you were born, or may have been recorded in the City registry, Municipal records or Church registry. Be aware that your birth certificate may actually record the date and time of issue, rather than birth -so double check. Your parents and other family members are your second source of information. The circumstances and supporting recollections that they remember are also important. Be aware that births in many places, especially during the fifties and sixties involved anesthesia, and this may throw off recollections considerably, so please indicate any such information.

Although an accurate time of birth provides better certainty with respect to some issues, sessions where there is no time given are nevertheless very informative and worthwhile.

Typically some checking for and adjustment for accuracy is made during the session. Partly this is necessary, since actual definitions of birth with respect to timing vary widely, and this can easily translate to and inaccuracy of as much as 15 minutes. Often there may have been delays in recording the actual time.

Adjustments are always made for time zone variations, so please include only the local time at birth, to avoid confusion.

Location of birth
  
When giving the place of birth, please indicate what major town or city is near by. Some states have more than one location with the same name, or the name may change with time

Date of birth
   
Please write out the name of the month and the full year to avoid any possible confusion.

Request for Children's Charts

When it comes to children, Roman encourages the parent or parents to get to know their own charts first, so that parents can be more aware of owning their own issues and how these relate to those of their children. After that, looking at some of the main energetic interactions between the parent and child may be helpful. Cost is similar to a second reading.

Normally a reading of a child's chart is not recommended, unless there are specific needs. This is partly to give children space to develop their own personality, and for ethical grounds, as a child is not as likely to appreciate the reading or to be realistically capable of giving informed consent.
