GMT or UTC +14:00 Time Zone Flag = Sextant the Star Compass Time Zone Flag


UTC +14:00 is a private time zone for the eastern isles of Kiribati.  A strange yet official time zone that is the first to start each new day, and each new year.  The symbol represents Sextants the Star Compass, which has planets cross its zone, as this constellation is just under Leo.

In order to have balance, here is the flag for UTC -14:00 which is the Cetus Time Zone.  Cetus like Sextans crosses the Zodiac yet is not a part of the Zodiac.  This unofficial time zone is the natural balance to UTC+14.  Likewise Cetus is just under the Pisces constellation.

GMT or UTC +13:00 Time Zone Flag = Ophiuchus Time Zone Flag



A flag for the UTC +13:00 Time Zone features the Ophiuchus symbol in the canton.  Currently this time zone houses three nations of three groups of islands: Tokealu of New Zealand; the Phoenix Islands of Kiribati, and Tonga of its own nation.

Here is the matching time zone flag for UTC -13:00, which is the Orion Time Zone.  UTC -13 The Hunter Time Zone is unofficial.  Yet both Orion and Ophiuchus cross the celestial zodiac yet are not official zodiac signs.  Note that Ophiuchus is directly in the path of all planets while, Orion only occasionally catches the star-planets of the Zodiac. 

GMT or UTC -12:00 Time Zone Flag = Pisces Time Zone Flag




A flag for the final official time zone for planet Earth.   UTC -12:00 hours is the only time zone to fall under one nation, and it is the USA that has command on the final hour of each day, and each year, each century, and each millennium.   Coincidentally George Washington, the first president of the USA, was a Pisces. 


Since Pisces is the 12th sign of the Western Zodiac it makes sense that it represents the 12th time zone of the Western Hemisphere.  By amazing coincidence, or providence, only two islands are in this time zone, reflective of the two fish of Pisces. 



The flag has a field of two colours magenta with a purple tint and black.  In the canton is an indigo Pisces symbol.  In the field are twelve stars reflective of the 12 official signs of the Zodiac and 12th hour offset of GMT.  The stars alternate colours yellow and white, with yellow at the midnight position. 

GMT or UTC +12:00 Time Zone Flag = Piggy Time Zone Flag


As the Pig is the 12 sign of the Eastern Zodiac, it only makes sense that it represents the 12th hour time zone of the Eastern Hemisphere.  It is the first natural 24 hour time zones.  It is also the earliest time zone for the United States with Wake Island and Russia's Eastern tip.  Other nations that fall under the Piggy Flag include France's Wallis and Futuna, Nauru, Tuvalu, the Marshall Islands, and Western Kiribati. 

Colloquial names for Piggy Time include: New Zealand Standard Time, Wake Island Time, and Kamchatka Time.

GMT or UTC -11:00 Time Zone Flag = Aquarius Time Zone Flag





Just as +11 UTC is us utilized by a far-point outsider end of America, coincidentally another part USA is under its temporal opposite at -11 UTC.  Of the United States: American Samoa, Midway, Jarvis Island, Palmyra Atoll, and Kingman Reef fall under Aquarian Time.  But the United States does not have a monopoly on Aquarian Time; New Zealand's Niue also uses Aquarius Time. 


The interesting aspect of this 11th hour division from GMT is that places that all places that fall under Aquarian Time are hold the line all year round without observing a spring forward, or fall back as is the case with Daylight Savings Time.



GMT or UTC +11:00 Time Zone Flag = Dog Time Zone Flag



The flag for UTC +11 includes the times for Eastern Australia, Tasmania, and Eastern Asia.  Also the outbound parts of the USA that fall under Doggie Time include Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. 

GMT or UTC -10:00 Time Zone Flag = Capricorn Time Zone Flag


As Capricorn is the 10th sign of the Western Zodiac, its icon is used to represent the 10th hour offset from the West of GMT.  Places that fall under Capricorn Time all year round include: Hawaii, the Cook Islands, and much of French Polynesia.  During the Fall and Winter the west end of Alaska sets its self to the Capricorn Time Zone.

The flag of Capricorn Time uses the colours black, white, yellow, and navy blue.  Their are ten stars to reflect the 10 hour offset from GMT.  The Capricorn symbol is navy blue on white, likewise the sinister divide denotes that it is behind GMT. 

Capricorn Time is also called Hawaiian-Aleutian Time or UTC -10:00.
