A phenomenon described in Physics as ‘Precession of the Equinoxes’. Without getting into any technical details or complications, the simple explanation is that the tropical zodiac does not incorporate the fact that the earth not only has a rotational axis, but the axis itself is slowly rotating. The difference is due to a frame of reference with respect to an observer on earth, in a simplified way – where exactly does zero degrees of Aries start and hence starts the zodiac with 12 signs (30 degrees each). The reason can get very technical in terms of physics/ astronomy. However this might have shifted as per the Sidereal Zodiac! from now, the individual born on Sep 7 would definitely be Virgo as per the Tropical Zodiac. As per Vedic astrology – Sidereal zodiac, the individual is a Leo.Īnother important point is – 3,000 yrs. As an example, as per the Western – Tropical zodiac, a person born on September 7 is a Virgo. The entire zodiac shifts which changes the signs/ houses and hence planetary positions. Even the “astrology illiterate” probably understands the outcome of the difference between Sidereal vs Tropical. To clarify all the discussions here on this website are based on Vedic Astrology which utilizes a Sidereal zodiac as opposed to the Tropical zodiac. One of the most frequent questions I am asked, especially in the ‘West’ is the difference between the ‘Western’ and ‘Eastern’ schools of astrology or in other words Tropical vs. Sidereal Astrology?
