Ive been studying astrology for quite sometime western and hindu jyotish.Western uses tropical zodiac and jyotish uses sidereal.One thing jyotish
kills western astrology in is experineces.What we experience shapes are being and soul,this is what western astrology doesnt take into account.
If you have a chart made in western tropical,I suggest you take a look into a sidereal chart.
I'm not versed into the Vedic Astrology but I do know my way around the western Astrology system.
A lot that is being taught in astrology is well informed, but lacks one massive aspect. The information you gain from academic and personal studies
won't give you the complete understanding no matter how much you know of the houses etc.
This is because people work with an incomplete astrological zodiac belt containing 12 instead of the proper 13. So you need to take all your aquired
knowledge and adjust it to fit with the 13th zodiac as well.
Seeing it has no real practical value to myself I stopped delving into it further.
