I definitely feel the water element in me. In my western chart it would be due to my Piscean sun and in my Vedic chart it would be due to my Cancer ascendant.

I'm Virgo moon in both.....

Kannon is such a well of insight and information! I just this last year came to understand how the signs itself are at third place. Planet aspects and the house nergy, then thirdly the sign a planet is in.

This is huge imo. And its so ironic, how we come to detest the "only sun sign" type of astrology, and then start to focus too much on what sign the planets are in.

For ex, my moon is in gemini, but I don't feel the moon gemini desriptions talks to me.

But I have moon in aspect with saturn (and other planets), of course I will feel that energy foremost, etc..

I can relate to both but I prefer my Western simply because the interpretations are more up to date and therefore more valid. Too much Vedic information in both written text and online source is outdated and extremely fatalistic in a context that no longer applies to the modern day. This is true for natal readings in Vedic and also compatibility readings in Vedic. I enjoy the extra detail that Vedic goes into, but sometimes they just say things that are flat out crazy and clearly not applicable to people these days. I feel all Vedic systems' interpretations need to be modernized in the way that Western astrology interpretations were because some of the stuff I read in Vedic is absolutely beyond insanity. Like saying one specific placement means I will only have prosperity after the exact, precise age of 38. Or one specific sign present in my chart means I will die at age 56. How could you possibly say that off of one placement? It makes no sense. The odd specifications are fatalistic for the sake of fear mongering bc vedic astrology used to be used to trick the lower caste systems in India into believing they were born to be inferior and complacent to the upper castes and that they would need to spend the rest of their lives buying products from the upper castes (that correlated with their "negative" sign placements) if they wanted to achieve happiness and prosperity. It's truly crazy.

outdated is one way of putting it

I’m a Sagittarius Moon in my Western chart and I recently found out I have a Scorpio Moon in my Vedic one. That must explain why I don’t relate to certain characteristics of Sag Moon. What about you?!

Interesting!

I don't relate to my Vedic Chart but I heavily relate to my Draconic Chart (derived from the Natal (western))... You might want to check that out, too!

You can do it on astro.com

I am very confused about what is the best sight to do my Vedic chart in, and what kind of chart type, North, South, or East Indian? What have you guys experienced in doing your vedic chart. My vedic moon is in Aquarius Ascendant is in Capricorn
