Do you guys know about the Sidereal system of interpreting a chart? I only knew about the conventional Tropical system.I have two different signs in both systems eg: Tropical: Sun Sag Moon Can Asc Tau Sidereal: Sun Sag Moon Gem Asc Ari Why am I only hearing about this system now? Any comments??? IP: Logged |

Sidereal is what Vedic astrologers use and people say its more accurate in predictions than Tropical. I don't see how it can be more accurate since the only thing that's different are the signs (they're just shifted). But then again, I don't know much about Vedic astrology.In any case in Vedic I am: Sun: 25 Capricorn Moon: 29 Virgo ASC: 3 Gemini I think my Vedic chart is far less interesting lol because my Venus/Saturn/Uranus are no longer at 29 degrees (although my NN is at 29 degrees Aquarius). I don't really identify as a Cap/Virgo, though, HOWEVER if you progress my Vedic chart, it puts my Sun at 16 Aqua and my Venus back at 29 Pisces. SOOOOOO... I guess it's hard whether to decide which system is the right system. IP: Logged |

it is SO hard to decide. sidereal calcs put my sun in cancer, with which i canNOT identify but funny enough that puts my vedic sun right on my ex-husband's(a soulmate) tropical sun...and directly opposite the sun of the man who is magnetizing me currently. i find it most interesting when used in comparisons like this, but frankly its a nonstarter as far as the natals go for me. i am SO a leo...!IP: Logged |

Katatonic, I am so glad you noticed that, I have seen this play out and I truely believe there is a link between the two. As tropical is more of our path here (earth) and the sidereal is more of the soul path. I believe we could link the two for ourselves and get some really great answers. IP: Logged |

I have heard that they both work, Vedic is more about life paths, and western is about more psychology.IP: Logged |
