So I know if you don't have birth time you can't determine certain aspects, houses and such. But it also can make the moon incorrect right? I think most astrology websites will set time at noon for unknown time and so the moon will match that time. How off would that make it? If you had say a Scorpio moon result, what are the other options of moons you could have, is it any sign or can you narrow it down?

The moon transits through each sign every couple of days. If you have the birth place, date and year but no time then you can usually work out the 'window' of moon sign.

Fir example, if you use astro.com, put the place, date, and year in. Then put in midnight for the time. See what the moon sign is for that. Then Change the time to 23:55, and see what the moon sign is.

Chances are the moon sign result will be the same between midnight and 24 hours later.

If the moon happens to have been in transit for that date then you will have a choice of two moon signs.

If you had a result of scorpio moon then the only other options for that day would be Libra or Sagittarius as they fall either side of Scorpio.

It would not be in Aries or Leo etc.

I've only seen it change with having a birth time twice. Otherwise it is usually not necessary. If you know the person was born in the morning or evening that could help narrow it down better.

Ok I should be able to get it down to only 2 options on the moon. Thanks guys!

Follow up question. If the Moon is known could you use this, to then narrow down ascending sign as well?

Only applies if the moon is very close to either of the borders.

Without my correct birthtime my moon might be seen as a Cap moon.

The moon stays aroudn four days within a sign I think.

Cap moons are very open with their emotions and explain things and bring clear understanding in situations, It's part of their charm. I am the same way with my Cancer moon. I love this quality about it. They are great at letting you know they are there and care about you.

Are able to tap into your emotions with your Sag moon like that, since you say it's so close to Cap?
