| | This is in contrast to the sidereal zodiac, which is based on the apparent motion of the Sun against the actual constellations of the zodiac in the sky. | | | The signs of the zodiac in tropical astrology are therefore currently divorced from the actual constellations of the zodiac. | | | The tropical zodiac fixes the position of the sun in the heavens at the northern hemisphere vernal equinox as the first point of the sign of Aries. |

| | The Tropical Zodiac The tropical zodiac is a secondary cycle to that of the sidereal zodiac. | | | The yearly cycle of the tropical zodiac is one of growth-in-spring; expansion-in-summer; decay-in-fall and contraction-in-winter. | | | Although the houses are in fact denotated from the geometry of the sidereal zodiac, as opposed to the tropical zodiac, it is an easy step to describe the correspondence between the 12 steps in declination and the 12 houses of the sidereal zodiac. |

| | The different sidereal zodiacs are measured with respect to the tropical zodiac and it's beginning-point--the vernal point. | | | You might say that, the sidereal zodiacs are stronger in the 1st and 3rd decanates of form and spirit, whereas tropical govern the 2nd or middle decanate. | | | Generally, the sidereal zodiac is more lunar, and along the hard-line rays; 1, 3, 5, 7. |

| | He felt it was unfortunate that both zodiacs use the same names for their 12-fold division of the yearly circle, and he regarded the tropical zodiac as being the proper framework on which to assess the evolution of mankind. | | | Rudhyar wrote that the sidereal zodiac, the zodiac of constellations, was a product of the myth-making faculty of the human psyche. | | | But precession correction is one thing, a separate sidereal zodiac with delineations for the 12 signs closely resembling those for the tropical zodiac (and using the same names) is a much bigger problem, however solvable on an individual basis through the magic of Mercury and Neptune the case may be. |

| | But if the Vedic tradition had used the tropical zodiac all along, i for one have no doubt that their system would be just as accurate, but it would probably be very different, since adjustments would have been made to fit their system around the new zodiac. | | | Keep in mind, i'm not arguing that the tropical zodiac is better than the sidereal zodiac, i'm saying that they are both useful. | | | I still say the issue is not with the zodiacs, but with the techniques applied to the zodiacs. |

| | Sidereal vs. Tropical Astrology |
| | The Tropical Zodiac used in Western Astrology is a Symbolic Zodiac based upon the position of the planets and constellations as they were in the sky 2000 years ago. | | | The Sidereal zodiac is the real zodiac as it actually appears in the sky at any given moment. | | | Although the Sidereal Zodiac was used by Western Astrologers like Ptolemy in the beginning, over the course of time a more symbolic zodiac was adopted which is astronomically inaccurate. |

| | A tropical year is the time it takes the sun to appear to travel around the sky from a given point of the tropical zodiac back to that same point in the tropical zodiac. | | | A tropical year is fulfilled when the Earth's axis completes a full cycle of angles with respect to the line joining the center of the Earth to the sun. | | | By Ptolemy's time it was known that the points in the zodiac where the sun moved fastest (our perihelion) and slowest (our aphelion) were themselves progressing through the tropical zodiac. |

| | The signs of the sidereal zodiac, also called the fixed zodiac, are located in different places from those of the tropical zodiac (or 'moveable zodiac'), though at certain points in history, most notably around 221 A.D., they have happened to coincide with them temporarily. | | | It is important not to attempt to interpret placements of the planets etc. in the signs of the tropical zodiac using sources on their placement in the signs of the sidereal zodiac that bear the same names, or vice versa. | | | The cyclical revolution of the tropical zodiac about the fixed zodiac does not compromise or weaken the astrological influence of the tropical signs, which at any point in history operates independently of the positons of the constellations sharing their names. |

| | The Egyptians had a tropical (solar) calendar by the early part of the third millennium B.C.; given the direct and transparent relationship between the signs of the tropical zodiac and the months of the solar year, they may well have had a tropical zodiac as well. | | | Tropical calendars in the form of standing stones (e.g., Stonehenge) date from 1000-5000 B.C. in Northwest Europe, so the tropical zodiac might have existed there as well. | | | This argument is based on the presupposition that the meanings of the signs come from the natures of the symbols in the heavens that we call constellations. |

| | Maybe the tropical zodiacal menstruum is in part determined by the minds of all the individuals who have conceptualized the tropical zodiac over a period of thousands of years. | | | The gist of the argument deals with the difference between the tropical zodiac, which is utilized in tropical natal astrology, which is itself what the great majority of astrologers and astrology are about, and the sidereal zodiac, which is primarily the provenance of astronomers. | | | Maybe there is a graded or graduated menstruum of some kind that forms the essence of the tropical zodiacal wheel that is based strictly on the equinoctial sun/point of birth line as a beginning and the direction indicated heretofore. |

| | The Ancient Sky presents: Tropical or Sidereal, the constant question |
| | On the contrary, the tropical zodiac is firmly planted in a Sun/Moon relationship, and simply divides the sky by 30-degree sectors, according to its mathematicians, who saw fit to “correct” their math with a nip and a tuck for latitude or longitudinal differences. | | | The sidereal zodiac is a measurement which finds the zodiac, star by star, to its position, no matter what relationship it has to our elliptical view of it. | | | As far as the adding or subtracting of another constellation into the very antique, extremely well-established zodiac (which, while we still have the Greek dictionary out) means "circle of animals", we are constantly barraged by a crowd of naysayers and fix-it types who want to "correct" this circle to their personal whim. |

| | Signs of the Zodiac: What Are They? |
| | The zodiac at this period in history was plainly sidereal, and the exaltations and triangles (four groups of three signs each now associated with the four elements) were in place. | | | A primary difficulty with this zodiac is that astrologers throughout the world don't agree on which stars define the Sidereal zodiac. | | | Because the area of overlap between the zodiacs at present is only 1/5 of a sign, and harmonic effects would diminish toward the ends of signs, it is very difficult to judge which zodiac might be the most accurate when only personal opinion and observation are used for measurement. |

| | The Tropical and Sidereal Zodiacs: A Discussion. |
| | One zodiac (the tropical) is linked to the solar year; the other (the sidereal), to the sidereal year. | | | The zodiac--the belt of constellations which is the basis for both Eastern and Western zodiacal signs--is cut by the apparent path of the sun and planets around the heavens. | | | Both zodiacs do not work, but their divergence was so gradual that corruption of signs in tropical astrology was difficult to see. |

| | Brief History of the Tropical Zodiac |
| | hus the Tropical Zodiac was born without a lot of thought with respect to what impact precession of the equinoxes would eventually have on astrology as the Tropical Zodiac was primarily used by astronomers. | | | Research revealed this is our first zodiac constellation known to represent a real flesh-and-blood man in recorded human history by the hands of human historians. | | | didn't know the difference between Tropical and Sidereal Zodiacs nor did I have any clue that neither zodiac was an accurate representation of the physical sky as it appears to the eye until one day in 1987 I was browsing in a local bookstore and ended up buying a sky atlas. |

| | Quantum Mechanics, Bessel Functions and the Tropical Zodiac |
| | Since the theory never says that anything does or does not exist, only that a probability for it to exist exists, this is equivalent to saying that if a form exists in mathematical potential, it will also exist (some of the time) in matter. | | | To understand the theoretical basis of the zodiac we must first start with a review of the geometry of the rational division of circles. | | | This too is in some way consistent with the Greek understanding of aspects wherein the aspect apparently existed as a point in space which a planet would then conjoin. |
