Hi Xuesheng, I get 12:34 time with bazi-calculator.com.  This should be the correct solar time to use. 



In the above screen, I enter the birth timing, enter the city name, click <Search>, and finally click <Calculate>.  The result is the screenshot below:



I don't understand why your screenshot shows a different result, because we are using the same program.

Hello,
I guess you have checked "DST" (summer time), while it should be unchecked.
Please see image attached.

In premium version, you only input "Póvoa de Lanhoso" location and click "Search" button, the calculator does everything for you.
In free version, you can manually set: longitude, timezone and DST (summer time) and eventually you get the same calculation.

Póvoa de Lanhoso observed no summer time in Sep 1976, so with the DST option unchecked, you get 12:34 in bazi-calculator.com, just like on JLim's screenshot.

If you need some more details, you can have a look at the document about real solar time in bazi-calculator.com:

Hi @JLim and @Voytek

Jlim, you're right.

I was not clicking on the search button.
I immediately clicked on calculate.

Thank you both so much!
