] Test of tropical versus sidere al zodiac

[Guest guest]

Dear Boaz and other friends,

 

I have seen the debate about sidereal and tropical astrology crops up from

time to time.

 

The debate generally revolves about different stance taken by the followers.

These are generally :

 

Sidereal is correct vs Tropical is correct.

Sidereal is more accurate vs Tropical is more accurate.

 

To decide in favor of any side (sidereal or tropical), the judge must be

supremely knowledgeable and skilled in both the sidereal and tropical

astrology. Alas, it is difficult to find such Judges who would really

bother

to spend his precious time on this topic.

 

Let us accept that both system follows the planetary movement and draws

inference from that. The frame of reference is different. It is like having

two

different observatories... both are seeing from their own vantage point and

arriving at some conclusions.

 

I have noticed that both Sidereal and Tropical Astrologers give stunning

predictions... both systems have large following... SO how can be any one

of them be wrong ? And any verification of any system would need some

thousands of charts .... few hundreds of charts will not be enough.

Hello,

 

I think it is important to understand conceptually what the rasis mean. The

rasis, for example, have certain qualities, mobile, fixed and mutable, as

well as the four elements. These qualities 3x4 = 12 rasis. The Sun sets

these qualities in motion and the tropical zodiac is Sun based. The moveable

signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn coincide with the solstices and

equinoxes. In addition it turns out that the ancient scripts actually seem

to suggest that the rishis used the tropical zodiac (see Ernst's article on

Ayanamsha). It may be that the sidereal zodiac will eventually be proven

correct but we can not ignore the tropical zodiac and the reasoning behind,

which is why such studies are important.

 

Thanks

Boaz

Tropical Ziodiac fits in the Sidereal Zodiac and the interaction between the

grahas based on the angles relative to each other are the same in both the

Zodiacs. On top of it the Sidereal Zodiac takes into account the additional

effects of the Nakshatras. So in my opinion the Sidereal predictions are

bound to be more precise.

determine which of the zodiacs - tropical or sidereal - works better. Those

of you who are interested and have an accurate time of birth are encouraged

to fill out the test. Ernst reports that test 2 is showing some quite

rewarding results. So far more than 378 people have taken the test and

results are consistently aligning with the same calculations on all three

questions, which is quite exciting. Hopefully a few hundred more people will

take the test over the weekend and then he can reveal the results to you

all.
