Astrology as a Business
Just subtract one hour from your time zone if we are on
summer Daylight Savings Time, and leave it as it is if we
are into the winter. This is pretty straight-forward for
most calculations.
The Birth Place
We all know where we were born, and, unless one was
born on a ship, that location is pretty much fixed in
space. Most of the popular astrological programs have a
built-in atlas containing the geographic longitudes and
latitudes of, at least, the major cities in the U.S. and
those of the world. Using a computer program allows
you to automatically select the correct town and
coordinates. No problem.
And you can always look at a detailed map of where
you were born and thus determine the geographic
coordinates (longitude and latitude). These are usually
listed every so often along the very edges of the map.
