Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Below is one of my standard tech support letters. It explains why GJ has problems with Antonio’s Chart. This was written awhile ago, and speaks generally, but it is the problem that is causing this current row about Antonio’s chart at least with my program. Actually, it’s a strange part of the ACS atlas which did this, but I’ve written a workaround in JS3 already. ------------------------------- 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 60’s 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. I’m not sure where you city is, and I can’t 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 it’s time zone instead of going into DST. They went on to Europe’s 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 it’s a touchy subject. I beg your forgiveness, it’s not really wholly my doing anyway, and therefore your patience and workability. I’m trying to rectify this in the next version too. ------------------------------ Reeshart Mach Aeoidh aka Das Goravani das (AT) goravani (DOT) com Secure online ordering of Goravani Jyotish 2.5 and Jyotish Studio 3 (JS3) For Hindu Astrology Software and Lessons (Jyotish) For Original Celtic Art Paintings http://www.goravani.com/art.html or Please use email if at all possible – I usually cannot answer the phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
