Do you use Tropical or Sidereal Astrology?

(if you're more advanced) If you use Sidereal, which ayanamsha do you prefer the best?

The changes compared to the main house system I use:
----Aquarius starts my 4th house
----Pisces starts my 5th house
----Aries starts my 6th house
----Leo starts my 10th house
----Virgo starts my 11th house
----Libra starts my 12th house
----Mars is in my 5th house instead of my 4th house

From what I've studied, Placidus is more accurate for me than this house system.

I would spend more days trying to tell the differences. Because it's easy to understand conditioned society but breaking things down and understanding something at it's core is usually where most people are afraid.

Analyze your childhood, young adult years etc. Place yourself in someone else's shoes observing you and those experiences as well.

Could you tell me one of your placements that are changed and anlyze them in depth?

Admittedly, for most of the placements I listed, they make just as much sense as the main house system I use. I've only said that Placidus is more accurate, because from a surface-level glance, I associate the ruler of my 5th house as being Aries and have more reason to believe this is true. On the other hand, my reasoning for this statement is a bit shallow. I'm not romantically interested in Pisces-influenced people and the 5th house is associated with romance. Outside of romance, it could fit the other associations with the 5th house. On a less shallow level, Uranus in Aries made a clear impact on my 5th house and the time it spent in Taurus before it turned Retrograde seemed to trigger themes of my Placidus Taurus in 6th house. I cannot make proper judgment of transits for the Sidereal zodiac, which don't match Tropical positions.

To clarify, I use the tropical zodiac and I'm not interested in Vedic astrology's more negative interpretations. Generally, the tropical zodiac is what I most relate to and that comes down to personal preference and my limited ability to get much out of the Sidereal zodiac. The negative interpretations seem a bit obsolete now, though I'm sure those negative interpretations are still relevant for some people.

I'm not sure how much of my response I'm satisfied with. I did legitimately explain my issue with the changes, but I'm going to need to study more about Pisces as the ruler of 5th house, so I can go more in-depth with my reasoning. I just wanted to respond now to give a general idea of what led me to conclude that Placidus is more accurate. When I have more time, I'll type something with more thought behind it.[/B]

Vedic astrology uses the Sidereal zodiac. The Sidereal zodiac by itself isn't necessarily negative, but the study of Vedic astrology tends to be. I'm sure there's a positive side to it yet it seems a bit black and white to me. That could just be based off the search results I've seen on Google. It seems harder to find resources on learning Vedic astrology for some reason.[/B]

I'll tell you. It's because this is where you're lacking more awareness on Sidereal Astrology. Not saying that as a bad thing we all lack knowledge somewhere.

The thing is that Sidereal is not tied strictly to Vedic practices and tradition. Vedic is a term for Indian practices, while Sidereal is simply the scientific term that Astronomers use to study the stars above. An Astrologer can use the term Sidereal and still refer to most Western interpretations. But your understanding that Vedic and Sidereal are the same is lacking and I don't mind eelaborating at all, that's the whole point of learning from each other.

If anything Vedic, which uses sidereal, has been known to have very fatalistic interpretations. I've even looked up fixed-star aspects that state possibilites of death by sword thrusts.

Vedic uses Sidereal, just like Western uses Tropical. Yes, but Sidereal and Tropical are scientific terms NOT spiritual traditions. So a Vedic could use tropical and a Western (or Northern or Eastern or anybody etc) could use Sidereal and vice versa.

Carter (poli-equatorial) house system

In this house system the celestial sphere is divided into an 'orange' with 12 commensurate segments. The axis of this orange runs through the celestial poles, whereas its 'equator' comes to lie on the celestial equator (hence the name 'poli-equatorial'). Therefore, the house cusps lie on the Meridians. The Meridian of the 1st house cusp runs through the Ascendant. The Meridians of the other house cusps follow at intervals of 30° each.

In this house system, the 1st house cusps is identical with the Ascendant, but the 10th house cusp is not identical with the MC.

The house system was invented by the English astrologer Charles Carter (1887-1968).
