You may be wondering what your True Sign is or what both of your signs are. We do have a calculator for you to find this out, but if you're wanting to learn more about how it all works, read on.
For those new to astrology, understanding the contrast between Sidereal (Vedic) and Tropical (Western) zodiacs can be enlightening. If you're familiar with Western astrology, you likely identify yourself as a specific sign within the Tropical Zodiac, such as Leo. But you may in fact be Cancer, or both Cancer AND Leo. The association between your sign within the Tropical Zodiac is commonly linked to the sun sign, determined by the constellation the sun occupied on the day of your birth.
However, confusion may arise when individuals claim discrepancies, stating that their sun sign is inaccurately assigned. This discrepancy originates from the use of the Tropical Zodiac, which Western astrologers adopt. This zodiac system relies on the sun's position on each calendar day over 2000 years ago when astrology transitioned from India to the Western world through Zoroastrian Persia. The philosophical debates during this transition led to the freezing of the zodiac in the sky as it appeared thousands of years ago, giving rise to the Tropical Zodiac.
Yet, the sky is not fixed, owing to the Earth's wobble or precession of the equinoxes. Over millennia, the positions of the constellations shift, rendering the original assignments inaccurate. For instance, someone identified as a Leo in the Tropical Zodiac may, due to Earth's wobble, align more accurately with the constellation of Cancer in the Sidereal Zodiac, which tracks the Earth's motion.
Remarkably, the ancient rishis of Vedic India devised a mathematical system in Jyotish, or Vedic Sidereal Astrology, that accounted for the precession of the equinoxes. This implies an age for Jyotish far surpassing its recorded history in ancient India, possibly exceeding 3000 years.
The Vedic Sidereal Zodiac's ability to adapt to celestial shifts allows for accurate charting of the skies. While both systems maintain their integrity, it's essential to recognize that each resonates within its own framework. Individuals may identify with both Leo and Cancer energies, a testament to the comprehensive nature of astrology. Moreover, astrology extends beyond sun signs, encompassing moon signs, Mercury signs, Rising (Ascendant) signs, and more.
Astrology, far from the commonly perceived horoscopes, unfolds as a profound discipline blending art and science. The Western world's historical skepticism, rooted in the Enlightenment era's shift towards materialism and science, contrasts with India's acceptance of science and spirituality as coexisting realms. Embracing astrology involves appreciating both the observable, repeatable aspects of science and the acknowledgment of an unseen force steering the universe into motion.
