Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 To Wendy, Neena and All, Before I leave for the Hospital this morning, I see that the three websites I gave last evening about Standard Time by law did not transfer properly. So, I have included their passages below for clarity. At the website of Sacred Astrology http://home.earthlink.net/-templeharakhte/Astro_Logic.html "About Birth Times: Until 1957 in the U.S. all births were required by law to be recorded in standard time, even thought Daylight or War Time may have been in use. Many hospitals did not comply with this law and recorded the birth from the clock. And so we have a large number of inconsistently-recorded birth certificates especially in Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Hawaii also changes its time stand rad in 1947. Check your birth certificate if you were born in the summer and note if the letters after the birth time specify the time in use(CST>CDT<EST<EDT<or AHST<HST). In Europe, similar deviations occurred during times of conflict, and geographic maps have been redrawn in many places throughout Europe and Asia that have altered the time standard". http://www.starfish.com/mercury-hour/Glowaty.htm Loretta Glowaty October, 1996 Downers Grove, IL You mentioned in (90/39) that T. PAT DAVIS had called you and told you that Illinois demanded all hospitals use Standard Time for births and deaths and that it was a long standing law until July 1, 1959, which is true. But they didn't all follow the law. I clipped the article out with the intention of putting it in my "Time Changes in the USA--Revised Edition," by Doris Chase Doane only to discover an article by T. PAT DAVIS dated June 17, 1984, regarding time changes in Illinois. I copied that sheet and it follows here. You might want to rerun it for those Astrologers who missed it in 1984. It is an excellent article. (See end of my letter for T. PAT DAVIS' article) One of the reasons I bring it up is because I have found that some Birth Certificates before Jul. 1, 1959, are in CDT and some in CST in Illinois. As an example, a couple of weeks ago, I did an update on a client born September 6, 1955, in Berwyn, IL. When she first came to me a few years ago, I deducted the hour. In the meantime she took an Astrology Class and asked the teacher to do her chart. The teacher cited the Illinois law and did not deduct the hour. However, my client tells me my predictions were more on target and that she believes the time on her birth certificate probably is in Daylight time. I bet a lot of birth certificates before July 1, 1959, were recorded in daylight-saving Time. As Ms. Davis point-ed out, "not everyone knew the law, or it was dependent oh whether the birth was in a Catholic or Public Hospital." I am wondering how others who do a lot of Illinois charts handle this problem and what feedback they get from their clients. What I do now is ask the client if says CST on their birth certificate. My son Andy was born July 7, 1958, at 7:15 A.M. CST. CST is written on the certificate so the person who wrote the time and added CST was cognizant of the law. But there are birth certificates where CST is not written on them. Then we might wonder whether that time is CST or CDT. The person recording the time might have just looked at his/her watch and put it down. I guess the only sure way is to rectify the chart before doing it. On the subject of Rectification, I have just passed my NCGR Level 3 Exam and must now learn how to rectify as part of the Level 4 Exam. I'd be interested in hearing what methods readers of Mercury Hour use. Copyright 1996 by Loretta Glowaty and Mercury Hour. . Starflash Productions http://chartshop.astrology.com/help/faq.html "What If I was born during the summer in Illinois before 1959 or Pennsylvania before 1971? Illinois and Pennsylvania had special state laws requiring that birth times be recorded in Standard Time, even when Daylight Time was being observed. If you were born in the summer in Illinois (before 1959) or Pennsylvania (before 1971), please check your birth certificate for your birth time and the time zone. If your birth certificate specifies Standard Time (signified by "ST" after your birth time), then you must ADD one hour to your birth time when requesting charts on our services. Our system will then subtract the extra hour, "thinking it is Daylight Time" Added Note: Not all computer programs accurately adjust for War Time or Daylight Saving Time. If computer's do adjust for time it is done on the wide knowledge of time for the time zone and does not take into consideration State, province, local locality or hospital rules that govern different practices of recording time. Uttara "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us......As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." from A Return To Love: by Marianne Williamson Mail Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments.
