You could get an experienced astrologer to do a chart rectification. This would be done by comparing your natal chart, progressions and transit with the times of the most important events in your life, e.g. wedding, birth of children/younger siblings, major moves, major career events.

An easier method would be to simply read descriptions of Virgo ascendant and Libra ascendant and see which fits better for you. If any planets change houses, read those descriptions, too. You won't get an accurate degree and sometimes there might be confusion if two placements both seem to fit equally, but it works in a pinch.

Yes that is close. However you need to look at the chart ruler i.e. Mercury and then look at maybe Venus and see what is more appropriate. Virgo or Libra? It can be sorted out with a bit of work.

For those unfamiliar with the idea of rectification, a thread describes basics of the rectification process at :smile: http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51626

The logic os based on Virgo's domicile ruler being Mercury and Libra's domicile ruler being Venus
