in all actuality the day their age changes would not be the same every year due to time changes, short days in the month , and daylight savings etc.....is there a chart or formula to pinpoint exactly when someones age changes to another year older from the date and time born?

It's long and drawn out, but it looks like there is a way, but I wonder also, in all that, if the time before birth should be counted, because you age then too.
Go here for the formula:

Its all about the numbers. Time is a man-made invention. It is a system that was developed to measure change. It is NOT universally constant, even when using the same type of device to measure it. When dealing with time, an approximation is the best you will be able to come up with.
To answer your question: Since time is a man-made measuring system that measures change, and aging is a constant process that we are measuring. It would seem that the most accurate way to gauge when someone would be considered a year older would be on the day of the anniversary of their birth (aka birthday). The time of day to the microsecond would probably be the most finite crossing indicator from one year to the next if you wanted to get anal about it.

Wow... I never thought of it this way... hmm... Now I also want to know this formula!!!
I also think that it is not exactly right, cause on my Birthday I don't really feel myself older. It comes in a while, so I have a proposal... To check someones age according to the way he/she feels. That would be more interesting... But a little confusing at first.

Use the Julian calendar date. The hard way would be to calculate when the sun passed the celestial equator on the day you were born. Might be a bit time consuming, but reasonably accurate.

You were probably born on 16th April, your parents should know, but they may have only registered your birth on 14th May. Your birthday is the date you were born, not registered and you can only have one. Your family must be pretty dumb if they buy you two presents a year but, hey, take advantage of it. I would.

No, like my birthday is December 12th, so every year on that date I turn a year older, it works that way for everyone only theirs happens whenever their birthday may be. There isn't another way for this.

No, that would be too crazy and complicated...and if you really think about it we are all 9months older then our birthdates b/c we are in the womb for 9 months

It appears you have created a problem that only astrologers can solve.
It's the sort of thing they do all the time.

Yes that's true. There is no definite point, its only a custom.
