Tropical astrology
Tropical Astrology is the old astrological division of the sky. When the Zodiac was invented, the position of the constellations were written down. But since then, the whole Zodiac has shifted almost a whole sign due to the Precession, so whoever was once born a Virgo, is now probably born a Leo – with the personality changes that come with it. Tropical Astrology ignores this, and keeps using the old tables – which have nothing to do with where the planets actually are in the sky.
Sidereal Astrology acknowledges the problem with the shifting signs, but digs itself deeper into the ludicrous: The more sidereal astrologers try to follow the real division of the sky, the more they are distancing themselves from the old wisdom. Sidereal astrologers cannot claim to build on ancient knowledge, but have to change the signs and characteristics over time. They are in turn making the whole concept of Astrology invalid. The real astronomical signs are a few days off from the Sidereal system by now – so not even Sidereal Astrology is using the correct star signs.
Sidereal astrology uses the actual constellation in which the sun is located at the moment of birth as its basis; tropical astrology uses a 30-degree sector of the zodiac as its basis. Tropical astrology is the most popular form and it assigns its readings based on the time of the year, while generally ignoring the positions of the sun and constellations relative to each other. Sidereal astrology is used by a minority of astrologers and bases its readings on the constellations near the sun at the time of birth.
The difference between all of this and Magi Astrology is that Magi Astrology uses the Declinations (relative height of the planet to the Equator) as well as Helio Centric Charts. First the Declinations – these have nothing at all to do with the signs and are not effected by the constellation debate. Second HelioCentric Charts – these use the SUN as the center of the Chart. 99% of Astrology uses GEO centric charts – with the Earth at the center. This is useful, but FAR from the whole picture. Also, the Helio Centric charts have their own version of Declinations. In the end, standard Astrology is only looking at a MAXIMUM of 25% of the information. Without special Software there is no way to see the rest. This is what is different about a reading with me, I look at all 4 dimensions – as well as the standard Astrology.
