Your chart shows you were born at 3:10 P.M. It also shows this works out to be 14:20 (military time) universal time. I did your chart and it came out looking different with 15:20 as the actual time of birth.. Could you explain?

Steve, I remember when I was 18 I started being interested in natal charts. I asked my mother when I was born exactly and she told me the most likely time was 3:20 PM. When I built my natal chart there was no internet, so I had to do that by tables. The Italian books I used allowed for daylight saving time in Italy, when applied.
I've just looked at the historical data from the Italian agency which deals with time and in 1960 daylight saving time was not applied in Italy, so 3:20 is solar time, what should be actually used in the chart I reckon. I don't know about military time, but the American and allied armies lingered in Italy until the end of the war, 1945 at most, so I doubt it was applied in 1960.
