The Zodiac Systems
Sidereal (Vedic) and Tropical (Western)
Astrology has changed over the centuries, and Millenia...
It's slow, but over time it adds up...and the constellations no longer match the seasons and Solstices as they did when Astrology was in it's beginning stages.
Each year the discrepancy becomes greater. Right now it's over 23 Degrees...
Vedic Astrologers follow the Constellations. Western Astrologers follow the Solstices. They pretty much ignore the constellations, believe it or not...So how can we say a planet is in a sign, which is supposed to be associated with a constellation...? HUH? Something seems wrong...and to Vedic Astrologers, it is...
Who's right?
Both, if You talk to Astrologers who have studied both. They contend that both Charts give a legitimate reading.
I have run my own chart both ways, and I think they're right. Do I have a Libra Sun, Mercury and Moon, with a Sagittarius Ascendant; or are my Sun and Mercury actually in Virgo, with my Moon in Libra and a Scorpio Ascendant? Both seem to fit...pretty well! I have to say, if I had to choose, I would say the Vedic Chart fits me better. There, I said it! But, really, I like BOTH. I never tried the Sabian Symbols with the Vedic chart...I wonder how that works...
You should try them both...it's more interesting, and doubles Your opportunity to analyze Your chart...You can easily switch between the two if You go to Astrodienst's website at www.astro.com and click on Free Horoscopes, then Extended Chart Selection, and use the drop-down menus to choose the SIdereal Zodiac and the Lahiri Houses. It's that simple...
