Does no one besides astrologers use the concept of "equation of time"? I thought navigators know it, too? What causes the EoT?Herbert
In what sense do you mean that astrologers use EoT? Mean solar time is used for the timing of the chart, and the ephemerides used by astrologers use mean solar time for the positions of the planets..... (A chart set for noon, for example, will usually not have the sun on the midheaven)
