HoN3YDrOpS | Also if there is any other astrology types out there, please list them if you know...thank you |
starfox | I probably believe more in western, but chinese is interesting too. I am monkey- Monkey people are often inventors, entertainers and the creative geniuses behind anything ingenious, including mischief. |
Mblake81 | I would track down where all of it started to begin with. Not saying egypt is that place, but it is interesting that they had the zodiac carved into stone and symbolized in many carvings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendera_zodiac Find where it started, then you can see how it spread to other cultures throughout history. |
rajji | I beieve in vedic or sidereal astrology for the simple fact that vedic takes into account the universe.. earth being a part of it..it takes into account all the important constellations.Also The Sun is midway on its journey from solstice to solstice moves a tiny bit each year. It goes backwards by a bit less than 1 minute of arc every year, due to the slight wobble of the Earth on its axis. Although the two zodiacs coincided about 2000 years ago, today the western(Tropical) Zodiac is approximately 24 degrees (nearly an entire sign!) out of phase with the actual, observable, positions of the stars.Hence the difference in signs in the two systems. |
Coffee | Western tropical astrology because it's logical and I have tested this against a lot of the sports results. I have done the research. |
Stawr | I like to use both eastern and western astrology I find them both acurate. That link about Dendera astrology is interesting. Also Celtic astrology is interesting. I don't know how to predict the future with it...but the Tree for my sign and the description I relate to. http://www.whats-your-sign.com/celtic-tree-astrology.html
"Alder - The Trailblazer March 18 – April 14 If you are an Alder sign within the Celtic tree astrology system, you are a natural-born pathfinder. You’re a mover and a shaker, and will blaze a trail with fiery passion often gaining loyal followers to your cause. You are charming, gregarious and mingle easily with a broad mix of personalities. In other words, Alder signs get along with everybody and everybody loves to hang around with you. This might be because Alder’s are easily confident and have a strong self-faith. This self-assurances is infectious and other people recognize this quality in you instantly. Alder Celtic tree astrology signs are very focused and dislike waste. Consequently, they can see through superficialities and will not tolerate fluff. Alder people place high value on their time, and feel that wasting time is insufferable. They are motivated by action and results. Alder’s pair well with Hawthorns, Oaks or even Birch signs. " Well this description is me on a good day of course. And here is another link that goes into more depth and has cool pictures for each sign http://www.celticradio.net/php/zodiac.php?type=index But yes a pretty cool way to blend your interest in astrology and learn more about your celtic roots...yez? |
Stawr | Yeah I like whatsyoursign.com I learned about a few zodiacs there. Like this one Myanmar-Burmese Zodiac Animal Signs What ever day day of the week you where born is you sign http://www.whats-your-sign.com/burmese-zodiac-animal-signs.html I was born on a Thursday so I'm a rat(eww! lol oh well) "Zodiac animal sign:Rat Day of Week Born: Thursday Ruling Planet: Jupiter Ruling Direction: West Personality/Attributes of the Rat: You are clever, witty and intelligent. You have the ability to tap into resources and look at things from a opportunistic viewpoint. You can be introverted and quite, but you are unstoppable when it comes to getting what you want. You are focused and driven (sometimes overly so) and have a knack for getting ahead." This is another one that I don't know how to predict the future with it, but I realate to what it says to my personality. |
Benedict Moon* | I think both are valid, its just that most people in the West don't understand Chinese Astrology beyond the sign that would correspond to their Jupiter (the one that everyone knows as 'The Year of the....'). |
