Dear VedicTime.com users,
We try to make VedicTime services as user-friendly and simple as it's
possible. To reach this aim, we hide plenty of complicated algorithms
and calculations from Your eyes. This approach also concerns the
definition of longitude/latitude/time zone for chosen place, but as we
started to receive lots of mails concerning
this point, we decided to write a small guide for You to help You to
focus on Jyotish but not on searching and analyzing of input data.
First of all, we have to assure that our calculations are based on
high-quality, proven and reliable data. We use the latest data on planet
ephemerides, longitude/latitude coordinates of locations and time zones
of geographical coordinates. It means that we neither calculate nor
think them up but receive them from the organizations which specialize
in these calculations and spend lots of time and money on it. In
addition to it, this data is constantly being updated and corrected so
we can claim that You receive the most tested and qualitative
information.
As for Graha (planet) degree calculations in Your
Kundali (horoscope), it can slightly differ from those provided in
programs installed on Your local computer. It does so especially in
those cases, when Your program was installed long time ago (2-3 years,
for instance) or its version hasn't been updated for a time. What does
it mean "slightly"? For quick Grahas as Chandra (Moon) or Buddha
(Mercury) it can be up to a couple of minutes, for slow one (Guru
(Jupiter) or Shani (Saturn)) - usually a few seconds. In case of Lagna
(ascendant) - it's calculation needs more precision, thus the difference
can be larger as the influence of input data is increased.
As
for timezones and DST (Daylight Saving Time) changes - it's yet another
topic. We work quite hard to release our users from the task of
searching the right longitude/latitude/DST input data for their
birthplace and birthdate. But as every system is imperfect we do not
exclude the possibility that sometimes You can face some mistakes. So in
case of any doubts we advise You to check Your data at www.timeanddate.com
(in our opinion, reliable source for such needs), where You can find
the history of all time zone and DST changes for any place in the world.
And if the test is positive, do not hesitate to contact us at
[email protected] with the description of Your problem and screenshot
from the site. You will help us to make VedicTime.com better as well as
Your Jyotish-mates to avoid such kind of problem in the future.
Best Regards,
VedicTime.com team
