I think this is basically due to the fact that when you have been preaching something as the gospel truth or correct system for so long, it is very hard to then say you were mistaken and there is actually a more correct system. People like Liz Greene and Robert Hand's whole life is tied to their belief the tropical zodiac is valid and if not, they have been misleading not only themselves, but the paying customer for over 20 years!! As a Vedic astrologer I myself am only interested in what works and what works very clearly. Intellectual abstractions are fine for learning but in practice I want clear and precise results and not the psuedo psycho criptic crap I see in my daily newspaper from Jonathan Canier. Is it wonder astrology is a joke to most people. All the arguments come down to nothing.

The lords of Tropical zodiac have too much to lose in admitting they are wrong or the sidereal zodiac is the correct one. To me the proof is totally in the results. I use the Krishnamurti system which gives stunning results when used with a correct birthtime. My proof is when I meet a person I have never known previously and within a few hours of looking at their chart I can define their life very accurately. What is written in old books has little meaning to me unless I can see the principals working very clearly consistently. > The latest writings on ancient astrology (like Robert Hand's booklets) do a > very good job of explaining the history of the zodiac. I see alot of this as Tropical Astrology propaganda with Hand trying to hijack parts of traditional Vedic astrology and give their origins to either the Greeks or others who used the Tropical zodiac. Most of it as best is speculation. He would be better off spending his time on researching horoscopes with both Tropical and sidereal calculations and then he would clearly see which one works well. People like Richard Houck were honest enough to admit their research led them to dismiss the tropical zodiac calculations. Its a pity the others get so much credibility without producing the results in practical application. If you have any articles on this I can post them on my website at www.members.optusnet.com.au/skinbags as many people are interested in the problem of the " two " zodiacs. If you have anything of interest you can share or anyone else has, please forward your articles to me at skinbags I often feel like launching a full scale war on people like Jonathan Canier and his cronies who fill the daily papers with their Sun sign bullshit. All serious minded astrologers should be concerned at the damage these hopesalesmen do to our art. I have at many times fought a lone battle against these people by sending emails asking them for a reading on my chart to see if they have any real skill. Never ever have got a reply of course.
