Hi all,
I have a question about how UT/GMT work, as I suspect the natal chart I've been using for some time may be inaccurate.
I noticed on my Astro print-out that I've entered my birth time of 12.04 noon correctly, but under Universal Time, it says 11.04am. Why? I live in Dublin, Ireland. We use the very same time as Grenwich, though we are clearly a couple of degrees west of there so that may be relevant. But surely it wouldn't merit a full 1-hour alteration?
I just discovered that there is the option upon chart creation to manually enter time settings, including UT/GMT, so why have they altered it in my chart? I just checked timeanddate.com and checked daylight savings for the year of my birth. It says that DST was not used and there was no change to UT. So should I manually override chart calculation with GMT/UT rather than automatic settings, which seems to be assuming DST?
Can anyone help me understand, or does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks for any feedback!
