London DST

[Guest guest]

> 17th March 1975

 

Yes.

 

DST was ON for London on that day.

 

 

 

As an aside, this question causes me to want to add on one of my few bug

alerts, this one regarding London in that period:

 

 

 

 

For those few places which are west of the 0 longitude that runs through

Greenwich England, and yet which are part of the European time zone, or the

British time zone, things got screwy in the late 60¹s for a few years. This

chart may be affected.

 

I know that for English births around that time, you have to take the 1 out

of the time zone field and put it in the DST field for the correct

Ascendant/Lagna to come up.

 

I know this applied along the coast of France as well.

 

And of course probably the coast of Spain.

 

I¹m not sure where you city is, and I can¹t for sure anwer this, except to

tell you that the ACS atlas which I use changed one thing only for those

areas for a very limited set of years back then, and this fowls up how my

program computes, such that you need to move the 1 from the time zone to the

DST field, then things are right.

 

Now this is for when there WAS daylight savings in effect and the place was

time zone zero, or equal to England, or was England. These things have to be

true, then you have to move the 1 as mentioned, and again, it was in the

sixties and early seventies as far as I know.

 

What happened was that Britain changed it¹s time zone instead of going into

DST. They went on to Europe¹s time zone. This messes up how things are

calculated. The time zone for England has to stay as zero in my program. So

you have to move the one to the DST field and it works.

 

This applies to parts of the European continental coastline which are west

of 0 longitude, put the 1 into DST.

 

I hope this makes some sense. I know it¹s a touchy subject. I beg your

forgiveness, it¹s not really wholly my doing anyway, and therefore your

patience and workability. I¹m trying to rectify this in the next version

too.

 

Thanks, sorry,

Hi, Das.

 

Thanks for the explanation - actually, GJ was on it, and picked it up correctly.

That's why I went scanning the internet (and then wrote to the lists). So looks

like your program saved the day on this, else I would have been using a 28*

Virgo lagna instead of a 17* one.

 

Cheers - Sateesh.
