Using the right birth date

[dpal@cwcom.net]

I'm a female born 25 minutes past midnight on the 18th September 1961 near London, UK. At that time DST (daylight saving) or BST (British summer time) was in effect so it was one hour ahead of GMT. If I use GMT, my 'real' birth date is therefore 25 minutes past 11pm on the 17th September. Although both times fall into the same time slot for the Four Pillar's report, the date changes. I'm weak wood' on the 18th, and 'weak water' on the 17th. Which date should I use ?

Dear Anon,
This can be a controversial subject.
So should I take the GMT timezone into account?
Our answer is no. You should not take the GMT timezone (+0800) etc to adjust
your date of birth. This is because due to the many simplification in the
GMT timezone, it only takes into account a shift in one of the location
factor in the world.
The more accurate way is to take the timezone in accordance with the moon
location. However, for most cases, it is different to provide the actual
location where you are born. Thus, if you provide an inaccurate locationfactor, you risk the chance of making the report LESS accurate than NOT
adjusting anything at all.
As mentioned, the initial pillars of destiny is already so flexible and
forgiving in ignoring the hour of birth, thus it has already put in some
possibility of mistakes in the hour of birth.
Thus, we feel that you can
safely ignore or do not concentrate so much on this factor.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
