My parents are unsure of my time of birth though it is stated in my birth certificate. My mother felt that I should be borned on the day but the birth certificate indicated night. Will I still be able to get advice on feng shui on my place if this information is lacking.

It is best you leave the time unknown, if youare not sure, or cannot be sure which 2 hour time range your time of birth falls under.

The ba zi without the time of birth will more or less give you the overall influence of the person born within the day itself. Only a few hours will alter the percentage of the five element and very few will have a different birth strength (ie weak/strong element).

So the best way is to check the date of birth without the hour, then check it again with the timing as of your birth certificate. If there isn't that great a difference, then your chart won't change too much. But again where not sure, best to leave unknown. Leaving the time unknown will still give a fairly accurateassessment.

Hope that helps.
