I am curious, as to whether anyone here has heard of or, done this with their natal chart. A recent meeting with an astrologist has given me reason to re-examine my chart, based on the Time Zone. My Husband has already refused the idea, saying that the time of birth on my certificate was recorded using Clock Time not, the Local Mean Time of my birth city, which would involve using a Sun Dial. However, this adjustment can be made at astro.com so, I am under the impression that, astro's system converts the info to reflect LMT, in the same way that, it converts it depending on if birth occured during Daylight Savings or, not. Because of my birth city's coordinates, my chart was altered, only, slightly. My Husbands chart, changed BIG time! Using the, common, Time Zone for the city he was born, gives a 4* Sagg ASC, wth his MC at 17*Virgo. When using the LMT setting, he now is given 27*Sagg ASC and, his MC moves a full 30* to 17*Libra. My biggest changes occured with regard to my ASC going from a 22*Scorpio to, oddly enough, a 4*Sagg. Also, my lonely, little Gemi Sun, went from sharing the 7th House with a Taurian Venus and, Merc, to sharing the 6th with same, as well as, A taurian Jupiter, Vesta and, Pallas. A lot of the interps, for both of these chart positions, are fitting, in my case and, in what I have gathered in his too. The biggest change came in that in the Clock Time chart, I have 2 Houses( polarities) intercepted, as well as 2 Signs. In the LMT, not one. His goes from zero interceptions, to several. This astrologer made a powerful impression upon me, her style makes perfect sense, to me. It is very visionary. She stated that in order to, correctly, erect an accurate natal chart, the Local Mean Time is a necessary and, more often than not, completely overlooked or, unknown, step. Just curious, as I saw in another thread that, Linda used the Mean Time when determining the Nodal Axis..... does anyone use it to erect their natal chart?

I look forward to any and, all info. Thanks.
