to find my ascendant do I use my actual time of birth or the Universal time?

You're meant to use your actual time of birth.

If you were born at 06:01, then you're a Taurus ascendant. But keep in mind that if you were actually born a minute and a half later (around 6:02) you would be a Gemini ascendant.

ok, so why do we take GMT and sidereal time into consideration?
