FAQ
Does Astrology Today use browser location by default?
No. The main page uses a fixed UTC and Greenwich reference. You can then add a browser or manual location on the page for local timing.
Why does Astrology Today start from Greenwich?
Greenwich gives the page one stable daily frame. When you want local timing, you can add your own coordinates on the page.
What can I personalize with my location?
Local planetary hours, ascendant, sect, and Moon condition all benefit from user coordinates. That personalization happens directly on the page.
