TROPICAL OR WESTERN
AND SIDEREAL OR HINDU ASTROLOGY
TROPICAL or WESTERN astrology is known as SAYAN astrology. Western
astrology and its circular chart pattern is commonly used in Europe, America,
and many other countries in the WEST. Circular birth chart pattern is
commonly used by Western Astrologers throughout the world.
WESTERN or TROPICAL astrology is based upon the SUN, and therefore
sometimes known as “SOLAR” astrology. This tropical zodiac is known as
“Moving Zodiac” also. In this system, individual’s zodiac sign is known from
the sun position at the time, place, and date of birth. You all know that the
SUN stays full month in a particular zodiac sign, and passes through all the 12
signs of the zodiac in a year. So there are 12 types or kinds of people born
during the year, in the whole world.
You have learnt, about TROPICAL or WESTERN zodiacs as well as HINDU
or SIDEREAL zodiacs in greater details, in the previous chapter. So we do not
want to waste our valuable time here.
You also know Solar and Lunar astrology. Solar astrology, is the astrology of
the Sun, and Lunar astrology is the astrology of the Moon. Thus Tropical
zodiac is solar and Sidereal zodiac is Lunar. (moving and fixed zodiacs)
What is the difference in predicting the events in both the systems ?
In Tropical or Western system of astrology aspect and transits of the planets
through the birth chart play important part. Remember, in Western astrology,
you will find only one Birth Chart called Horoscope. The predictions or
forecasts depend solely on the planetary positions, housing system, and
aspects of the planets.
While In Hindu Astrology, different charts are to be made, such as Birth
Chart, Bhava Chart, Navamsha Chart and Rashi chart. These charts are
almost commonly used in Horoscope booklets, prepared in traditional Sanskrit
printed form, by astrologers in India. On and above these, there are other
Charts also. Here we do not want to discuss them. We have to check all these
charts, in deciding the strength of the planets and houses before giving
forecasts.
TRANSITS
In Hindu astrology, transit is taken into consideration.
But its system is quite different to Western system.
There is no uniformity in both the systems.
In Tropical or Western Astrology, transits are considered from the Birth chart
only. While In Hindu Astrology transits are considered from the Rashi Chart
(Moon Chart), as Moon is considered as the Mind and Moon chart is most
prominent in interpretations.
Hindu astrology is famous and unique for its Dasha system known as
Planetary Periods or Planetary Cycles of life. You will not find this system in
any of the astrological text books, EXCEPT Indian classical text books. Also
Hindu astrology takes into considerations “ YOGAS “, configuration of planets,
which may be benefic or malefic, depending upon the planetary configuration.
These Yogas may give favourable or unfavourable results in their main and
sub periods or cycles of life.
TROPICAL or WESTERN astrology - or sometimes known as SAYAN
astrology, which is commonly used in WESTERN countries, USA., Europe,
and now many countries in the WEST. Circular birth chart pattern is
commonly used by Western Astrologers throughout the world.
WESTERN or TROPICAL astrology is based upon the SUN, and therefore
sometimes known as “SOLAR” astrology. In this system, individual’s zodiac
sign is known from the Sun position at the time, place, and date of birth, You
all
know that the SUN stays full month in a particular zodiac
sign, and passes through all the 12 signs of the zodiac in a year. So there are
12 types or kinds of people born during the year, in the world.
When the SUN is in a particular sign, at the time of a birth of an individual, he
or she is known by the zodiac sign of the sun at the time of birth.
According to Western or Tropical zodiac, the SUN enters round about the
21st March each year in the zodiac sign of ARIES, and is in the same sign up
to 20th APRIL, beginning from 0 degrees to 30 degrees of ARIES. All the
individuals born during this period are known as “ARIANS” Their TROPICAL
SUN sign is ARIES.
There are 12 signs of the zodiac, starting from Aries to Pisces, each of 30
degrees each, totalling 360 degrees in the full zodiac. The Sun moves
through all the 12 zodiac signs in a year, passing through each sign in a
month, and completing all the 12 signs in a year.
According to Western or Tropical astrology, people born in different signs of
the zodiac, are known by the signs, they are born with.
Individuals born from 21st March to 20th April in any year, are known as
“Arians”, 21st April to 20th May Taurians, and so on.
(2) SIDEREAL OR HINDU ASTROLOGY
HINDU OR SIDEREAL ASTROLOGY follows the moon, and therefore is
known as “LUNAR astrology”, also. MOON moves around all the 12 signs of
the zodiac in about a month. Thus we can get 12 signs of the zodiac, in a
month. Individuals born during the month, will be of all the 12 different zodiac
signs. In this way we will have 144 combinations during the year. In one
month the Sun gives one Zodiac signs, while the moon gives all the 12 Zodiac
signs.
Sidereal or Hindu astrology gives more prominence to the moon rather than
the Sun. Western astrology gives birth signs according to the position of the
Sun in a certain sign on a certain date. Thus there are 12 divisions in a year,
starting from ARIES to PISCES, as per Western astrology.
In Hindu astrology Moon sign is considered as the most important sign. The
Moon moves round all the zodiac signs in approximately a month. All the
individuals born in a month, take moon Sign, as per time and date of birth, as
per moon position in the sky at the time and date of birth. The moon gives 12
different types of individuals in a month. In this way Hindu astrology gives
more clear picture of a person. Moon controls our minds.
There is one important point to remember in Hindu astrology. Hindu astrology
gives importance to the moon and the constellations known as Nakshatras.
The zodiac signs are known from the certain groups of stars (Constellations).
When the moon passes through such constellations or zodiac sign, it gives
the moon zodiac sign, or Rashi sign at birth.
JYOTISH (ASTROLOGY) is one of the six Angas (part) of the VEDAS and
without the study of it, the study of Vedic lore is considered to be
INCOMPLETE. This is a DIVINE science and is a great help to the mankind.
This science is very helpful to every individual. It is like a light in darkness.
JYOTISH has undoubtedly been studied by all nations throughout the world
from time immemorial. India, Egypt, Chaldea, China, Japan, Tibet, Iran,
Greek, have studied this subject and made valuable contributions.
Hindu ASTROLOGY is primarily based on NAKSHATRAS or what we call as
Constellations. There are 27 Nakshatras or constellations, starting from
ASHWINI to REVATI. Indian or Hindu vedic astrology has significance of
these constellations. Hindu astrology is connected with constellation or
Nakshatras, and therefore it is sometimes known as LUNAR ASTROLOGY
or ASTROLOGY OF THE FIXED STARS.
This system is sometimes known as NIRAYAN or SIDEREAL also.
