Interesting that DST is only used in Western, or Westernized, countries, vs. most of S. America, Asia, and Africa. As usual, we are obviously Far More Advanced - lol. I've read all the justification for it, and yet, the only benefit for DST seems to be a low cost way to experience jet-lag, without actually going anywhere.

But, at the top of the hour, the clock stayed on 2am, and I realized that I had woken up during the second 1am hour. And, it got me wondering how astrology deals with the one day of the year in DST areas where there are two periods of 1:00am to 1:59am. I guess if an astrologer has to deal with a 1am hour "fall back" morning birth time that doesn't specify DST or standard time, he'll have to run both charts and see which one is the better fit. I'd like to assume that hospitals would make a point of taking note of which 1am hour, but I know from my own birth certificate that hospitals aren't always focused on recording accurate birth time.
