Tampa · FL, USA
Tampa vedic astrology, Gulf coast and still Eastern
Tampa vedic astrology uses America/New_York for Hillsborough County, on the Gulf side of the Florida peninsula, where the zone is Eastern and daylight saving applies. Gulf coast does not mean Central time here. Pensacola is the Central time example, and a 5:55 p.m. Tampa birth is not timed that way.

The Gulf is not the panhandle
Hillsborough County faces the Gulf and still uses Eastern time. America/New_York, with daylight saving, is the zone. Pensacola, in the western panhandle, is the Central city. A 5:55 p.m. birth in Tampa in summer is Eastern daylight time. In winter it is standard time. Miami, on the Atlantic side, is a different city on the same zone name.
Marriage at 5:55 p.m.
The 7th house, its lord, and D9 are read from this evening lagna, not from a Gulf rule. The daylight hour can move the rising sign between January and July. Fix that before you talk about a spouse. A Central offset borrowed from the panhandle would move it for the wrong reason.
