Learn How True Solar Time Is Calculated

What is True Solar Time?

True solar time follows the sun’s real position at your birthplace—not the clock on the wall. When the sun crosses your local meridian, that’s “true noon.” It changes with date and location, so it matches the sky you were born under better than standard time alone.

Why True Solar Time Matters in Destiny Reading

Mean solar time is the even clock we use day to day. True solar time adds the equation of time—the gap caused by Earth’s orbit—so: true solar time ≈ mean solar time + equation of time.
