Need some info on my vedic/sidereal chart

[Guest guest]

Hi. Im still kinda new to this new astrology. I was hoping someone

here could tell me what my chart is like and what it means. I was

born on May 19th 1982 at 12:27am in Flushing, Ny. All i've heard is

that im a Taurus with a Pisces moon. But all of my planets are in

different signs and houses. And I dont know what this rahu and ketu

are. I know it is alot, but i would really appreciate some help.

Thanks.

That at least a few of your planets will be in different signs in your

Sidereal chart is to be expected. Sidereal astrology assigns fixed longitudes

to the stars (in Western Sidereal astrology, Aldeberan will always be at 15

Taurus, Regulus at 5 Leo, Spica at 29 Virgo, etc). Tropical astrology

assigns 0 Aries to wherever the northern hemisphere's Vernal Equinox point

is; unfortunately, the Equinox points move backwards along the Ecliptic at a

rate of approximately one degree every seventy two years.

 

As for planets in different houses, that comes from using a different house

system.

 

Rahu and Ketu are the Sanskrit names for the Lunar Nodes. I get the

impression that Vedic astrology has a richer knowledge of the Lunar Nodes

than does Western astrology; like precession-correction and harmonics,

Western astrologers would do well to study this, too.
