How to Select the Date and Time for Your Business Chart?

When creating a business chart, one of the most common questions I hear is: "How do I determine the exact 'birth' day and time of my business?”

While some businesses have a very clear, timestamped beginning, many are born slowly or through a series of quiet yeses. Below highlights some helpful tools to select an accurate date and time of your business chart. 

What Matters Most

The most important thing is choosing the moment your business felt most alive and real to you.

It can be helpful to ask yourself:

• When did this stop being a dream and start feeling real?

• When did I cross an inner threshold of commitment?

Helpful Moments to Consider

If you’re narrowing things down, one of these moments may stand out as the energetic beginning of your business:

• An igniting event where your vision truly came to life

• Purchasing a domain name

• Signing up for for social media accounts

• Launching your website

• Sending out an announcement or sharing your work publicly

• Receiving your first paying client or customer

• Signing legal paperwork or creating a legal business entity like an LLC

When It’s Still Unclear

If it’s difficult to land on a date or time, we can absolutely talk it through together. Sometimes clarity emerges in conversation and feeling into the story of your business.

And sometimes — this is important to say — a business chart reading may not be the most supportive place to start.

If you run a personal brand, or if your work is deeply intertwined with who you are, your astrological birth chart can often offer rich insights into your business, decision-making and timing. In those cases, we can certainly explore a Foundational Reading instead.

We’ll always choose the approach that best honors your energy and what feels best to you.
