Let's face it, astrology is just a pseudo science and one of the biggest dangers of people being fooled that it really works even though it in reality actually may not is psychology.

I, for one, think my chart is a scary good description of myself, but I'm still not satisfied. For instance, I don't carry every single trait of every single placement. Maybe I modulated it in my mind to make it work, because I subconsciously wanted it to work?

Sidereal is something I have shook my head at since I became interested in astrology, one of the reasons being that when I looked at my placements according that belief I just shook my head.

Now, I am going to attempt a little experiment with myself and I though I'd ask if any one of you would want to tag along.

What is going to happen is that I am going to "change" my chart for at least a week from tropical to sidereal and see if that could in any way fit my personality. I chose this way, because at least the aspects and some planet are the same. If you want to do this too, we could compare experiences.

I'm going to start on Monday and see where it takes me - probably somewhere fun, cause my sidereal chart looks a lot funner than my tropical one.

So, from Monday and a week forward I'll be a Sagittarius! Wish me luck!๐Ÿ˜„

You're free to express the chart however you want. Plus it's a map of a person's entire life, so naturally everything wouldn't be active at the same time. This is why we care about transits and progressions.

Sag, huh? I'm a Vedic Sag too.

If we both gain weight, knowledge and have random outdoor sex with a physical training or teacher or some kind, I think the experiment would be a success.

Vedic is supposedly better for looking at fate, rather than personality.
This.

That's why you can't read them the same.

My Vedic states I'm a libra with a pisces moon.

My Western is Scorpio sun with an aries moon......with a libra stellium in my 12th house.

There are correlations....but....you can't read them in the same manner because then things start to disconnect.

A description of a libra with a pisces moon is different than a libra stellium in the 12th house....but they still have some similarities.

I don't even know how to explain myself....lol.

I had a vedic done professionally......and I can *see* in my head how they are different...but I can't find the words to explain it.

click to expand

Yes, definitely. Correlations but not looked at in the same way. I had vedic done professionally too and it's very much about fate/life events unfolding. The astrologer who did the reading does both Western and Vedic astrology for personality and fate respectively.

Yes, but if you could take just any chart to fit anyone with a little stretching and bending, astrology is major fail. I do agree that you need to count on personal progress - I have personally changed quite a bit since I was born. ๐Ÿ˜„ But I think it's quite interesting to ask my parents questions about how I was when I was really young and see that it fits my chart really really well at that age too...even though I've changed. Weird.

Ooo! Cool! But not the weight, though! Haven't you heard: sags are very competitive and love sports(you know, like bow hunting,) so I say, we will both be super fit after this.๐Ÿ˜„ *nods and crosses fingers*

Love this thread!! I am really interested in sidereal

Sag sun suits you I think...

I'd be Pisces Sun and Venus, Gemini Moon, Aqua Mercury and Mars, Libra Rising ๐Ÿ˜„ Did my wit got blown away by all this air or what? I shall say, however, that on new moon and all the way while it grows I become particularly spirited and talkative... but that's all about it. hehe

Not according to astro.com. I was born between December 16 and January 14, which would make me a Sagittarius. Would you go Capricorn in sidereal(you can see the entire chart at astro.com if you click sidereal instead of tropical) or how would it look for you?

My Sidreal chart fits me better than I would have expected, except for how it gives me an Aries rising and eliminates all Sag from my chart.

But not enough to switch.

Vedic is supposedly better for looking at fate, rather than personality.
Oh, I doubt I will switch(but who knows...๐Ÿ™‚)...except for this week. It's just a temporary experiment to check if I could make some other chart fit my personality. Vedic was just convenient since all the tools are already there. I really want to give it a shot and in vedic, the aspects and houses are still the same which would make it a better chance of success, as I see it, so, I guess we'll see.๐Ÿ™‚

Yes, I heard that too. It's interesting! I know veeery little about it, though, so I should probably be quiet now...๐Ÿ˜‰

This is interesting! I know far too little about it to even have another comment than that I would be very interested in learning how that works in the future. Right now, I'm fully occupied trying to work out tropical. One day, one day.๐Ÿ™‚

In this little attempt, I will do the interpretation of the vedic chart in tropical. I'm just using my vedic chart as "any chart" because the tools happen to be there already at astro.com and the aspects, houses and some planets are the same, which would make it easier for me to succeed.

If I would manage to make my vedic a working chart for me(still in tropical, I couldn't do vedic to save my life,) then I would try this with a chart that is a lot different, without the same aspects or houses and see where that takes me. It's just an experiment. Looking forward to be a sag for the week!๐Ÿ˜„

I still have Scorpio Sun in Sidereal, but my Moon and other planets changed signs and houses.
Ah.๐Ÿ™‚

Your houses changed? Interesting. Wondering where you did your vedic chart? First time I did my vedic chart was not on astro.com and I even got a difference in signs between the two(vedic). I was confused. At least now I have decided to use the astro.com version, since it's easier and the one I got recommended to me. Not saying your source is bad, though. At all. I know nothing about vedic charts.๐Ÿ™‚

Must admit my experiment is less about sidereal than about checking the works of astrology. As they have said earlier in this thread, reading vedic charts, is done quite differently than tropical charts. But I have close to no knowledge of that practice, so...๐Ÿ™‚

Sag sun suits me? Ooo! Great! Love sags!๐Ÿ™‚ ...although I have no idea what I'm gonna do without a single planet in cap. As of now, I don't feel very much like a sag, but I'll try.๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah, lol, that's a lot of air! ๐Ÿ˜„ That gem moon is a darling, though - enjoy it! I got to keep mine, tihi.๐Ÿ™‚

I like to think of astrology charts as an outline and the free will we've been given dictates and molds the insides of that said outline depending on how we go about life.
That's pretty close to how I see it. The hard aspects, transit lessons and such are not all activated at birth(usually) and the hard aspects are on-going processes with several lessons through a life time. We learn as we go - about ourselves and how we should/could manage what we got.

We can let them run us over, or we can get a grip(easier said than done at times, though) and learn things to be able to handle things better in the future. Pick and choose.

Ok, here is my Vedic

Scorpio Rising

Libra Sun

Cancer moon

Libra Mercury

Scorpio Mars

Virgo Venus

The only one I question is Scorpio Mars
Interesting! Did you identify with your sag mars?


I do, yes. I can really be impatient and restless. But it is also in my 12th house, so the energy is more turned inward. I shy away from attention and I prefer to stay hidden.
click to expand

Shying away from attention and preferring to stay hidden sounds more like mars in scorpio than mars in sag...I mean if you have a libra sun. Didn't you have a lot of Uranus action in your chart? Maybe that could be the cause for your restlessness? But then, I don't know it what way your restlessness shows itself.

I don't have a lot of Uranus. I am Jupiter dominant. My mars in my 12th house takes away it's energy

Perhaps. I don't know much about Vedic. But my regular chart is definitely me.

You probably know a lot more about vedic than I do, seeing as I know pretty much nothing. In this experiment, I only used my vedic chart as "any chart" to see if it would work if I really tried...but using tropical astrology, though.

Ah. Don't know where I got that from. Sorry. Hmm. An aspect maybe? 9th house action?

I would be a Leo sun, Leo moon, Virgo Mercury, cancer Venus and Mars (WATERRRRRRRRRR FINALLY) with a sag rising and libra MC.

Because it's Leo season I'll try lol
Virgo to leo is quite a change! Cool! And a looot of water! ๐Ÿ˜„

How do you feel about your sag rising?


It may be a change but I identify with my Leo Venus and Mars a little more than my sun! So I should be able to handle it lol and yes my chart for now is hydrated! Sag rising sounds great so I'm making the most of it. So much positive energy in my sidereal chart it looks pretty ๐Ÿ™‚
click to expand

Yeah, I have a sag venus in my tropical and am now a sag sun. Still feel it's difficult, because that venus really stands out as the only fire in my chart. I do feel the energy due to this, but that's in my venus. Now it's sun and merc and should not stand out - it's my ego now. I have no earth in either one of my personal planets. I miss my cap sun already.๐Ÿ˜ญ

For some reason, many times when I see someone especially beautiful, it turns out to be a sag ASC. Maybe because sag is my DC(tropical.) So great!๐Ÿ™‚

My Taurus rising may just be the hardest for me to deal with in this.

What did you have before?

Aquarius moon, venus and ascendant in leo and mars and mercury in cancer.

i identify with everything but i won't post why otherwise i'd end up writing an essay. it's just the capricorn moon. earth moons are lethally poker faced I have noticed and I am the opposite. I can be poker faced if I need to be but it takes concentration. I usually can't hide my feelings, especially from people who are close to me.

wait, did you post all of yours? i'll have to read back through..

Nah, not acting so much as trying to pretend that it's my real tropical chart in my head. See where that leads me, if it's even possible. See how it would change the personality of a person from one chart to the other. It's probably my gem moon enjoying itself.๐Ÿ˜‰

my daughter is a cap sun with a gem moon and this was always already one of my favourite combinations because rowan atkinson has it as well. i say sense of humour = genius level for these guys. well my girl comes out with some stuff that I have to tell her not to say but inside i'm thinking, 'umm, i'm sure i hid that side of my self from her .. oh shit'. those gemini moons ..

lolz. so you're acting them out, I thought you were just observing?


Aaah! Cool!๐Ÿ˜„

Nah, not acting so much as trying to pretend that it's my real tropical chart in my head. See where that leads me, if it's even possible. See how it would change the personality of a person from one chart to the other. It's probably my gem moon enjoying itself.๐Ÿ˜‰

May I know your sun sign?

yeah indeed, it probably is. ๐Ÿ™‚

oh sorry I forgot to answer that question. it stayed in cancer, but went from 26 to 2ยฐ.

now if i were to make a draconic chart of the sidereal ..

(just kidding ๐Ÿ˜‰)

i'll play. i now have a capricorn moon, venus and ascendant in cancer and mars and mercury in gemini.
YaY!๐Ÿ˜„

What did you have before?


Aquarius moon, venus and ascendant in leo and mars and mercury in cancer.

i identify with everything but i won't post why otherwise i'd end up writing an essay. it's just the capricorn moon. earth moons are lethally poker faced I have noticed and I am the opposite. I can be poker faced if I need to be but it takes concentration. I usually can't hide my feelings, especially from people who are close to me.

wait, did you post all of yours? i'll have to read back through..


Ooo! Exciting!๐Ÿ™‚ May I ask your sun sign?

No I didn't.

Tropical me

Cap Sun

Gem Moon

Cap Merc

Sag Venus

Pisces Mars

ASC Gem

Vedic Me

Sag Sun

Gem Moon

Sag Merc

Scorp Venus

Aqua Mars

ASC Taurus

Kidding?!?! Don't toy with my gem moon! First thing I did was try to check if it was possible at astro.com. Now, it's an itch I can't scratch.๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ˜‰

I still have Scorpio Sun in Sidereal, but my Moon and other planets changed signs and houses.
Ah.๐Ÿ™‚

Your houses changed? Interesting. Wondering where you did your vedic chart? First time I did my vedic chart was not on astro.com and I even got a difference in signs between the two(vedic). I was confused. At least now I have decided to use the astro.com version, since it's easier and the one I got recommended to me. Not saying your source is bad, though. At all. I know nothing about vedic charts.๐Ÿ™‚

Yes. I used astro.com. Only the signs changed. My bad ๐Ÿ˜„ My Moon became in Leo. Although I can relate to some of it since my Virgo moon was in 1 degree. However my Pluto and Mercury became Scorpio in 10th. My Sun and MC are still in Scorpio. My ASC became in Cap and I couldn't relate to it.

Ah okay.๐Ÿ™‚

Interesting! So you think it would be impossible to squeeze forth something about Cap ASC to fit your person? Must say I have a similar problem with my Vedic Taurus. I haven't given up yet, though - I'll keep looking, but I do think it's going to be difficult.

Actually I could relate somehow to Cap rising, but maybe it's my 10th House Sun and strong Cap influence that's shaping my personality. When I tried my Cap rising, my Aqua Rising still manifests, so I can't completely use my Vedic Cap Rising.

Yes that's very difficult. I hope your experiment would be successful. ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm a Cap sun and merc in tropical and I would probably still have a hard time to fit a Cap ASC into my personality. I have even asked my friends about their first impression of me and also how they think I act when I meet new people and it's apparently not Capricorn or Taurus like at all. It's all Gemini. Well, I'll keep doing my research and hope for the best.๐Ÿ™‚

May I ask, in what way can you relate to your cap rising...and when does aqua take over? (trying to learn about how to go from air to earth.๐Ÿ˜‰)

Well it seems that people really see us differently the way we do ๐Ÿ™‚ I'm really curious how do people see you as Gem. When I was in the first day of our class in my freshman year, the first impression of people around me is Scorpio. So I was kinda shocked since it was not even my AC. I dunno why. Now, whenever I try to act like Cap (serious, goal-oriented, etc.) I just can't help myself to be friendly and make jokes, act quirky (it only happens if I control the environment like all of the people in the class are my friends and some new student entered the class). Then after a while I turn to my Scorp mode then Virgo mode. Then be Aqua and Cap again. That's how my cycle goes.

Astrology isn't a religion, but it's still a worship. Its the worship of planets and stars more then anything. And why is that so frowned upon? Why is it made to look false by the general public? In reality it's the worship of planets and stars millions of times bigger and complex then anything we know as humans. Which still falls into the same old thing. We know very little, nothing really means anything, and we're all gonna die. The end.

Might as well have fun and enjoy yourself right? Make some stuff up, live life in a fictional story. Its no different then anything else.

Thank you!๐Ÿ™‚

When I first meet people(unless I know they are there to evaluate me or if I know I'm going to have to spend a lot of time with them in the future...which puts up my guard faaast), they see me as quick witted, bubbly, non-threatening and even flakey. Then they scratch the surface, and some people literally take a step back. Others just put up their guards, wondering what the heck happened. So I go back to gem mode to make them feel more at ease.

Works with some people, not with others. With the people that works with, I keep pretending to be a Gemini, with the ones it doesn't work with, I slooowly go to the next level. Luckily, the latter are usually the people who seem to find it easier to handle 8th house cap than the others, so it usually works out in the end with them, but it takes a long long time to do it.

My moon is in Gemini too, but it's very influenced, especially by the 2nd house and by the square to Pluto. The core of it is definitely Gemini, but it's definitely not a traditional "clean" Gemini moon, which makes it close to impossible to use it like I use my rising.

The people in your class are people you are going to spend a lot of time with in the future and as I said before, that makes at least me go more sun sign. Is it the same with you? I mean, would you go aqua at casual parties with acquaintances that you may or may not spend much time with in the future and scorp when it's in a more permanent setting?

Worship may be an exaggeration, as I see it - very few people worship astrology. The celestial bodies, however, are certainly worshipped and I see nothing wrong with that. I don't think it's the worship of stars and planets that are being frowned upon, though, but the belief that human personalities and destines were formed by them...and that does sound pretty damn crazy, at least to me.

I do think astrology has merits(at the very least as a tool to ask myself questions that need answering), which is why I keep studying it. But I absolutely refuse to give in to coincidences; just because a theory seem to have merits it's not proven and I need a lot more knowledge than I do now to decide whether I believe in any of it or not.

We know very little, agreed, and we're all gonna die - might as well enjoy life while we can. And if astrology can help with that, then why the heck not.๐Ÿ™‚

Maybe since your Gem Moon is illuminated because of Pluto, people necessarily see it, so no wonder they've seen you as Gem. My friends also see my Virgo moon tendencies because it was also aspected by Pluto and it shows its power even if we try to hide it. ๐Ÿ™‚ I was also doing the same thing that you did. I act Aquarian because I always intimidate people even if I try to think that I'm friendly. lol ๐Ÿ™‚

With regards to my classmates, I still act Aquarian, but with my closest friend there, they see my Scorpio- Virgo personality. When in casual parties, I act my Scorp MC. Then when people approach me, they either see my Aqua ASC or my Scorp Sun (it depends on compatibility with the person). I try to make an image that people would believe that it's really me when in fact it's not. Surprisingly, nowadays I act more Scorpionic than ever before. The last time that it happened was 2 years ago when my transit was heavily Scorpionic. I tried to suppress my Scorp side by masking it with my Aquarian side, but I always fail. I think my life is beginning to embrace my Scorpio nature.

According to Vedic, I'm a Scorpio Sun, Libra Moon, Libra Ascendant.

In Tropical, I'm Sag Sun, Scorp Moon, Scorp Ascendant.

I see a lot of Sagittarius and Scorpio in me. My natural instinct is to be impatient, impulsive and blunt. I blame that on my sun. My Scorpio moon waters down my fiery tendencies a tad, making me more reserved and observant; at the price of making me enter negative spirals of feelings and thoughts if I'm not very careful.

I don't see any Libra in me at all. I don't have a hard time making decisions, and I do not attempt to unrealistically please everyone at the same time.

I'm confident in the tropical placements.
Interesting! May I ask, have you studied both your entire charts(vedic and tropical), or are you basing this solely on sun, moon and ASC? I mean, that's the tricky part with astrology, imo: you may be able to find explanations for everything if you try hard enough. At least that's what I'll try to partly(I need a lot more testing to really figure it out, ofc, but this is one step) figure out if it's possible with this experiment.๐Ÿ™‚

There's way too much information you can look up, it's not just your tropical chart. There are also transits, progressed charts, vedic charts, that one thing which determines the following year after your Bday, whatever it was called, etc. You can pretty much find an explanation of anything you encounter in at least one of all charts. Astrology isn't like maths, it's never so strict and certain. It gives you a whole lot of possible interpretations.
Absolutely. And that's the danger, imo. I mean, if you can explain every person in some way with the help of just any chart, we might as well all rip our natal charts to shreds, using astrology only as a tool to ask ourselves a bunch of healthy questions.

Oh, do I wish astrology was like math! Would have made it sooo much simpler...but probably not as fun....so idk...๐Ÿ™‚
