DO you guys see that? I was born on the 3rd of DEC, at 11;48 pm but then it said below that Univeral time 5:48 (dec 4) and when i read the 4 in star signs chapter 5, it always seemed as much my power number as did the 3 day. So I know Universal is the WORLD...is this saying to the rest of the world I am born on the 4th at 5:48pm..just reaffirming. What is that SID time too?

"SID" is Sidereal Time, or "star time". There are 24 sidereal hours in one solar year (365 days).

"Universal Time" (UT) is a timescale based on the rotation of the Earth. It is a modern continuation of the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), i.e., the mean solar time on the meridian of Greenwich, England, which is the conventional 0-meridian for geographic longitude. GMT is sometimes used, incorrectly, as a synonym for UTC. The old GMT has been split, in effect into UTC and UT1.

Let's say you want to make a Synastry Chart between a person's Chart, and a Composite Chart they are a part of (to see how they will feel within the relationship)...

Would you use a Universal Time for the Composite Chart? I know in astro.com there is a radio button for "an event" - but then you won't get to play around with any cool interactive features on the site.
