Letʻs briefly break down the most popular astrology practices utilized today:
Tropical Astrology (Western) uses the Earth's seasons and starts the zodiac wheel at the vernal equinox (spring) when the Sun entered Aries. Over 2,000 years from today, Itʻs been over 72 generations since the discovery of Tropical Astrology. Keep in mind that our vernal equinox today is on the 20th of March. This is more than enough proof of our earthʻs precession.
Sidereal Astrology (Eastern) begins Aries where it is visible in the sky. Different sidereal systems exist, all referencing the actual stars and constellations for each of their methods.
Originally, the tropical and sidereal zodiacs matched, but due to precession (a gradual shift in the Sun’s position) this alignment has changed, causing the two systems to be roughly one sign apart.
Both systems are accurate for their purposes. Tropical astrology, rooted in seasonal changes, defines physical aspects of personality. Sidereal astrology, based on visible celestial patterns, captures emotional depth or instinctual personality traits. The downside of these systems are that neither use the actual sizes of each zodiac sign on the ecliptic. This causes miscalculations therefore the mix of messages in the event of their occurrences.
With True Sidereal, the utilization of midpoint method corrects the degrees of each zodiac found on the ecliptic giving each sign their time of ruling. True Sidereal also recognizes the inclusion of Ophiucus, whom ancients refer to as the 13th sign, visible on the ecliptic between Scorpio and Sagittarius.
What midpoint method calculates are the midpoint boundaries between each zodiac along the ecliptic for astrological accuracy. Not only does True Sidereal give you the deepest messages, the correspondences are immaculate.
