GMT or UTC +06:00 Time Zone Flag = Snake Time Zone Flag

GMT or UTC -05:00 Time Zone Flag : Leo Time Zone Flag

UTC -05:00 is the time zone of the Original 13 Colonies plus a few more.  Leo Time Zone is the Eastern Time Zone during regular non-daylight saving time.  Leo Time has the greatest populations of Americans North and South.  Ironically it this time Zone includes the Eastern Half of North America, and the Western half of South America. 

The flag of Leo Time uses the colours blue, yellow, and white.  Leo is chosen because it is the 5th sign of the Western Zodiac and 5th time zone in the Western Hemisphere.

Nations that are permanently set to Leo Time include: Jamaica, Panama, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador.  Additionally Easter Island of Chile,, the Cayman Islands of the UK, and Southampton of Island of Canada and Quintana Roo of Mexico are always set to Leo Time.

Fatefully the Lions of Detroit fall under Leo time when the Lions are playing their games a few weeks into the start of a new season.  But during Daylight Savings Time,  the Central Time Zone of the US and Canada joins the Leo Bandwagon, as does the majority of Mexico. 

GMT or UTC +05:00 Time Zone Flag = Dragon Time Zone Flag

The flag for UTC +5:00 uses the colours blue, white, and yellow.  The five partitions of blue and white represent the number five, reflective of the UTC 5:  two white stripes, one central blue stripe and two blue fields.  The downward bend indicates that is in a positive time adjustment relative to GMT Zulu Hour.  In the upper fly is the Western emblem for the Year of the Dragon.  Since the 5th time zone faster that GMT is ahead the Eastern Zodiac is in use. 

The Dragon is so appropriate geographically speaking because it divides Asia from Europe. 

Nations that fall under the Dragon Time include Russia's Yakaterinburg, Kazakstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Maldives, and the French Isles of the Indian Ocean.   Also Australia's Heard and McDonald's Islands follow Dragon Time.  During the Summer, Azerbaijan can fly this flag on daylight savings time.

Note that India uses a modified version of the this flag with a crescent moon at the 30 minute position to indicate an addition of 30 minutes. 

Likewise Nepal also has its own version of the flag with a moon at the 45 minute position to indicate it is still under 5th time zone flag but with 45 extra minutes.

GMT or UTC -04:00 Time Zone Flag = Cancer Time Zone Flag

The flag for UTC -4:00 uses the colours green, white, black, and yellow.  As Cancer is the 4th sign of the Zodiac its use here reflects a four hour shift from GMT.  Likewise, as this time zone is westward it uses the Western Zodiac. 

Nations and places that fall under Cancer Time include: Canada's Atlantic Isles except for Newfoundland, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, the Eastern Caribbean, Guyana, Western Brazil, and Bolivia. 

Note that during spring and summer the Eastern Half of the United Sates switches to Cancer Time, but in the fall reverts to Leo Time. 

Since Venezuela adds 30 minutes to UTC +4:00 it gets its own flag with a moon, to note the shift in time. 

GMT or UTC +04:00 Time Zone Flag = Rabbit Time Zone Flag

The flag for UTC +4:00 hours uses the colours green, black, white, and yellow.  This time zone is compressed, because for some strange reason UTC +3 and UTC+5 are favored over Rabbit Time.  Rabbit Time hops across Eurasia and a few isles in the Pacific.


Nations that fall under Rabbit Time all year round include Georgia, Armenia, Oman, The United Arab Emirates, Seychelles, Maurituis, and France's Reunion Island.  During the winter, Azerbaijan hops back with her Caucus Cousins with Rabbit Time.

GMT or UTC -03:00 Time Zone Flag = Gemini Time Zone Flag

The flag for Gemini Time uses the colours yellow, blue, and black.  Since Gemini is the third sing of the Western Zodiac it is used here to represent the third time zone west of UTC Zulu-Zero Hour. 

Much of South America is permanently set to Gemini Time.  Nations that follow the Twins include: Suriname, Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. Also the North-Eastern portion of Brazil is tattoed to Gemini Time: Alagoas, Amapá, Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão, Pará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Sergipe, Tocantins.  Finally distant part of France and the UK are permanently synced to Twin Time: France's French Guiana, and the UK's Falkland Islands

Colloquial names for Gemini Time Zone include: Atlantic Time Zone, West Greenland Time Zone,  and Pierre & Miquelon Standard Time. But in South America Paraguay falls under Gemini Time at this time. 

GMT or UTC +03:00 Time Zone Flag = Tiger Time Zone Flag

The flag for UTC +3 uses the colours yellow, blue, and black.  The downward bend indicates that it is an Eastern early time zone.  The Western Symbol of the Tiger is is the upper fly.  Why the tiger? Because it is the 3rd sign of the Eastern Zodiac, and this time zone is 3hrs East of GMT. 

Other provincial names for Tiger Time include: East African Time, Moscow Time, Arabia Standard Time and loquaciously lackluster Further Eastern European Time, Eastern European Summer Time.

Nations that fall under Tiger Time include: Russia's main portion in Europe, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda, Tanzania, Madagascar, and the Comoros. 

During the spring and summer, nations that jump into Tiger Time include: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria. 

Iran gets its own Tiger Time Zone Flag since it is UTC +3:30.  The upward facing moon indicates an addition of 30 minutes to Tiger Time.
