Hello everyone!
I am have question of the computation of Davison charts, and I would be very grateful for clarifications. I am trying to learn to read them, and the go-to chart service that I use is the Astro.com "uncorrected" Davison chart under extended charts. I've been studying it and have used it since the beginning of my research.
however, recently, I checked another other online chart generating source, the Davison calculator from Allen Edwall. I was a bit surprised because the chart was very different from the chart I was familiar with. Upon checking further, I realized that it was because this service inputed the UTC time zone, from the midpoint of the coordinates. In astro.com, when you draw the natal chart for the Davison, the UTC is set to 0:00.
The Ascendant and house placements change greatly, and pretty much everything else that can be influenced by a change in timezones.
Can anyone please help me understand why this is so, and what should I use instead? It makes sense for me to consider the timezone. When I tried to input the data on mobile apps so I can conveniently check the transits, they automatically allow for computation with the proper UTC.
However, as my impression is that astro.com is very reliable chart wise, and that maybe their chart is the more accurate one? Or does time not really value much in the davison, and the aspects are more important than houses?
I would greatly appreciate any help regarding this! Apologies if this seems like a silly question, I am just trying to understand, and I am self studying, so your help is very much of value!I attached the different charts below. Thank you very much in advance!
