Posted September 4, 200025 yr I'm a female born 25 minutes past midnight on the 18th September 1961 near London, UK. At that time DST (daylight saving) or BST (British summer time) was in effect so it was one hour ahead of GMT. If I use GMT, my 'real' birth date is therefore 25 minutes past 11pm on the 17th September. Although both times fall into the same time slot for the Four Pillar's report, the date changes. I'm weak wood' on the 18th, and 'weak water' on the 17th. Which date should I use ?
Posted September 7, 200025 yr Staff Dear Anon,This can be a controversial subject. So should I take the GMT timezone into account?Our answer is no. You should not take the GMT timezone (+0800) etc to adjustyour date of birth. This is because due to the many simplification in theGMT timezone, it only takes into account a shift in one of the locationfactor in the world.The more accurate way is to take the timezone in accordance with the moonlocation. However, for most cases, it is different to provide the actuallocation where you are born. Thus, if you provide an inaccurate locationfactor, you risk the chance of making the report LESS accurate than NOTadjusting anything at all.As mentioned, the initial pillars of destiny is already so flexible andforgiving in ignoring the hour of birth, thus it has already put in somepossibility of mistakes in the hour of birth. Thus, we feel that you cansafely ignore or do not concentrate so much on this factor.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 9/4/00 5:24:00 PM, Anonymous wrote:I'm a female born 25 minutespast midnight on the 18thSeptember 1961 near London,UK.
