For example;
If your horoscope says 'An important meeting at work results in a lightening of your workload" you must ensure that you arrive at that meeting exactly an hour late. This will impress your boss no-end, and hey-presto! - all the free-time you deserve!
-
"A small gamble in April yields big results" Turn up at your local bookies an hour after the Grand National started and place a �5 place-accumulator bet, naming the winner and 2nd to 4th placed horses in the correct order (you will already know the results by this time). When the bookie refuses the bet, insist he must take it as 'it was in your horoscope'. If you cause a big enough fuss and refuse to leave, some men in blue will arrive with your prize. (Unless you're in an East End bookies, where the prize bearers will be carrying iron bars)
-
"A love interest will go the whole mile" - For guaranteed success, turn up for that important first date a whole hour late. Your love will be besotted and will run a mile next time they see you.
Those casting horoscopes observe time according to the movements of the heavenly bodies and in particular the apparent movement of the Sun with respect to the Earth, or if you like, the actual movement of the Earth with respect to the Sun. This is siderial time.
In the UK zero degrees longitude passes through Greenwich and at UK midday it is truly only midday along this meridian. Go to Liverpool and it still wants of 12 minutes to noon at the same instant, as Liverpool is to the west of the Greenwich meridian. Go to New York in America it wants 4 hours 56 minutes to noon at the same instant as the longitude of New York is 74 degrees west, and the earth rotates 15 degrees per hour (360 degrees in 24 hours).
So your horoscope person casts their diagram according to the location, and the actual time at that location, irrespective of time zone and daylight saving conventions. So far as the horoscope person is concened, the Greenwich person born at 0600hrs on February 7th will have their chart cast as at 0600hrs as we observe GMT in winter. However, the Greenwich person born at 0600hrs (BST) on June 7th will have their chart cast at the actual local time, 0500hrs.
