What it is:
The ACS Atlas is an enormous database of latitude, longitude and time zone change information for over 252,000 unique locations worldwide and is continuously updated by Astro Communications Services as political circumstances force changes in time change information. One of the leading causes of mistakes in birth chart setup is guessing inaccurately the time correction based upon time zone and daylight savings time info. In both Delphic Oracle and Timaeus, there is the capability to look up time zones, latitudes and longitudes based upon a time and place input through the ACS Atlas. If you calculate alot of birth charts, it is highly recommended that you obtain this database.
