How To Use This Almanac Anywhere In The United States
The Moon’s Phases and Cardinal Points are given in Eastern Standard Time (Subtract 1 hour
for Central Standard Time). Rising and Setting of the Sun and Moon, Moon South and the
rising, setting, meridian passage of the stars and planets are given in Civil Mean Time for 7 5
degrees wc;t longitude and 3 5 degrees north latitude. Civil Time is used because it is more
accurate for all of the time zones across the country. To obtain Standard Time from Civil
Time, add 4 minutes for each degree of longitude you are located west of the Standard meridian
(75 degrees for E.S.T., 90 degrees for C.S.T., 105 degrees for M.S.T., 120 degrees for P.S.T.),
or subtract 4 minutes for each degree you are cast of the Standard Meridian. Example: For
Winston-Salem, N. C., add 21 minutes to get clock time. To obtain the Longitude where you
live, look on any road map and find the lines running north and south marked in degrees. To
ascertain the day’s length, add 12 hours to the time of sunset and subtract the time of sunrise.
Calendar Explanations
In the column of Moon’s rising and setting when the word "rises” is found, the Moon is at full,
and the figures following that word are P.M., or evening until the word “morn” which means
midnight. From morn the figures are A.M., the moon rising in the morning before the sun is
up. Then, after the word “sets” the time for setting is given, which grows later and later,
from early evening until early morning, until the moon is again full.
Mars is the “Governing Planet” this year
