incorrect timezone
« on: March 06, 2025, 03:23:25 PM »
Hello,

I'm new to planetdance and I have an issue that I would like help with.

I live in Fishers, IN, which is currently on EST (until Sunday, March 9). This is West of UTC by 5 hours, the same time as New York. However, when I enter my birthchart and when I try to create a chart for the current moment, planetdance gives the correct gps coordinates for Fishers, but says "EST -6:00", giving an incorrect ascendant. planetdance gives the timezone for "America/Indiana/Indianapolis" as "EST -6:00", when it should be "EST -5:00".

Is there a way that I can correct this?

Thank you,
Josh

Unfortunately the timezone calendar in planetdance is not perfect.
You could  edit places and adjust the timezone. Or use the Other UT feature when entering data for a chart.

Welcome Josh - time zones can be tricky, particularly for the US it seems. As Jean says it should be fairly easy to correct.

I hope you enjoy your experiences with PD.
