The latest poll on the topic I saw rated Placidus the most common and Koch was the second most common in usage. The charts calculated are available in computer generated format, Kepler 4.6 program is used to calculate these. HOW TO CALCULATE SIDEREAL TIME - required for additional calculations 1. Convert local birth time to 24 hr clock. for example 5:14 am 05:14 7:26 pm 19:26 2. Add time difference to GMT when calculating births in the western hemisphere. PST +08:00; PDT +07:00; MST +07:00; MDT +06:00; CST +06:00; CDT +05:00; EST +05:00; EDT +04:00.

Acceleration is always added to GMT as it provides us with UT Universal Time 2 these are shown in the atlas but can be also calculated from longitude 79EW 23 this is the longitude for Toronto Multiply the degrees by 4 4x79 316 . Convert the result into hours and minutes by dividing by 60. 316:60 5 hours 16 minutes + 1 min 32 seconds 5h 17 32 next multiply the minutes of long
