For knowing the position of the sun on your clock you have two options:
A) You can download a sundial app on your smartphone telling the time of the solar peak.
B) Or you can use the calculation helper below when
the running Tempometer normally displayed here is offline.
With this
calculation helper
you can calculate
your solar time
by filling in
below your
longitude details
and the GMT*
values as
indicated.
Step
1:
First
look up your longitude.
Examples:
|
Paris
F:
48n52, 2e20,
France
|
|
New
York
(US): 40n43, 74w0,
US
|
|
Amsterdam
NETH:
52n22,
4e54,
Netherlands
|
|
Den
Hague
NETH: 52n05, 4e19,
Netherlands
|
|
Tokyo,
JAPAN:
35n42,
139e46,
Japan
|
For New York e.g. must
below next be entered
at longitude degree 74
and with the minutes 0
!
New York (US) is west (w)
of Greenwich
For your
meditation on the
natural order
thus having set a
clock to the sun
requires that
you correct
the time thus
found about once a
week.
Thus
you will keep
your corrected
clock at
pace with the
sun
within a margin
of a couple of
minutes.
Not doing this
the difference
quickly amounts
to about half an
hour (from Nov.
5 to Febr. 5
e.g.).
Correcting for the
sake of nature
can best be done
with natural
regularity:
on Cakra-sundays
e.g., see below:
To check this by
hand you need to
consult
the pages about the
equation of time
and the FCO-calendar
