GMT or UTC -02:00 Time Zone Flag = Taurus Time Zone Flag


The flag for UTC -2:00 hours features the Eastern and Western symbols for Taurus and the Year of the Ox.   The Western Ox, Taurus, is black on a field of orange near the upper hoist, while the Eastern Ox is white on a field of black near the fly. 

There are two major astrologies observed Earth, one that originates from China and the other from Greece.  In this case the second sigh of both zodiacs by mere chance features a bull ox of sorts.

Aries Time covers the island nation of Cape Verde.  The colours of the flag are red, white, and black.  The single red star indicates that it one step off of UTC Zulu Time.  Aries was chosen for this time zone since it is the first sign of the Western Zodiac and this is the first time zone of the Western Hemisphere.  Thus Cape Verde is the first nation of the Western Hemisphere and only nation to exist detached in between the continents by longitude.

Flag for GMT or UTC 0:00 Time Zone Flag


The time zone that passes though Greenwich, England is the key tuning time fork for our planet.  Nowadays it, UTC Time or Coordinated Universal Time, is the standard which artificial times zones have been aligned with.  

The flag for "Zero or ZULU" 0:00 UTC/GMT uses the colours black, white, green and yellow.  Green in the central stripe as Greenwich was the original coordinated time keeper of Earth before UTC.  Likewise the symbol for an Ox was chosen as both Eastern and Western cultures include oxen in their mythical zodiac. The Ox is the second sign of the Greek Zodiac while the Bull is the second sign of the Chinese Zodiac. 

This flag can be flown anywhere in UK, Portugal, and West Africa since these nations are all United in Time to Zero-UTC:GMT
