Comparison of Standard and Adjusted Charts

Are Standard astrology charts based upon a hoax/fantasy?

The Moon difference calculated here is between the local mean time (LMT) of the Time Zone (TZ) meridian for which all clocks are set and the LMT of the observer’s meridian. All charts show the same Moon position (26° Cap 09'25") for the TZ meridian because the LMT and civil time (CT) match - this relation is indicated in this equation: LMT = UT1 - longitude. All observers not on the TZ meridian (those would be at locations 2-10) have the same clock readings, but they are on a meridian E or W of it, so their actual local times are different - LATER if east, EARLIER if west. This is defined as the “LMT variation from the TZ meridian” where 1° = 4 min. of time, and why the Moon is EARLIER or LATER in arc for these observers. This is what Dr. McCarthy meant in this ca. 1980 letter about the hour angle of an object depending “critically” on the longitude of the observer.

The Adjusted charts for all the observers are based upon their clock readings set for the respective TZ meridians but use a corrected formula to calculate the planetary positions. The correction includes the observer’s longitude E-W of the TZ meridian (aka LMT variation). We’ve been indoctrinated, unfortunately, for 142 years (since 1883) to believe in the synchronization hoax/lie - that “time is homogeneous across all longitudes,” forced to accept the fantasy that we can be in two places at the same time and one of us being an invisible clone standing exactly on a standard meridian! We’ve been bamboozled into imagining we’re all seeing the same Moon (26° Cap 09'25"), since our clocks are all synchronized. The Standard chart output shown for each observer (except for Location #1) is evidence of this hoax/fantasy. A fast Moon may be more than 2.5° different between two observers in the same TZ (see example). Before 1883, astrologers calculated correct charts because they acknowledged and honored the observer’s longitude.

Does any astrologer really believe that he or she has an invisible clone on the standard meridian? If not, why use a formula (CT = UT1 - TZ offset) that clearly embodies this hoax/fantasy? This is in fact how all astrology software does planet calculations and what the programmers insist is the truth and are promulgating. Why not use instead a correct formula for the calculation of the planets that acknowledges and honors the observer’s longitude, like in pre-1883 LMT formula, as seen here? The caveat is your clock must be preset to LMT before calculating the Moon, then you’ll know the chart is correct. If you simply switch willy-nilly from a clock preset to civil time (CT) to LMT, of course you’re going to see the same chart! This is because your preset clock to CT assumes you (or your clone) are on the standard meridian, hence the same Moon calculated based upon the UT1 time tag.

If you wish not to preset your clock to LMT, you can use the proposed formula that tolerates a CT preset, and it will render a correct UT1 time tag to calculate the proper Moon position: UT1 = CT + ΔT_zone + [(λ_obs - λ_std) × 4 / 60] … where the LMT variation is the distance in time east from the standard meridian, CT = civil or standard time, and UT1 = GMT or the LMT of Greenwich, a longitude-dependent calculation.
