Thoughts on Indian Astrology?

[RockSeed13]

I see that they don't have the planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. I don't understand why? :?:

Untill people realize the deep difference between sidereal and tropical systems they would always think the western is "more accurate", or "one system is better than the other one".
In fact neither western(which uses tropical) nor vedic(which uses sidereal) systems are "accurate", they are two parts of a great engine working asynchronously.

Sidereal system deals with planet's influence on the mental level, the way a person would think, how his inner mental engine would work. That's why the Moon is so heavily emphasized in vedic sidereal system. Because this system is dealing with the mental(or the "astral") aspect of reality, mostly. This is why it's using real positions of planets as observed by the telescopes: because zodiac isn't a physical thing, you cant "touch" it here on the Earth, it is "above" you.

Tropical system dealth with a person's life here on the Earth, in his PHYSICAL body dealing with PHYSICAL events, and how the person would respond to them. It is dealing with events that are already happening, you can see and touch them. This is why tropical system uses spring equinox as an anchor point - because this is event that happens here on the earth, you can see it, "touch" it and feel it. And you are forced to react to it in a certain way. This is also the reason why many people find western to be more accurate - because again, it deas with events that are already happening on a physical realm.

The most simple example would be a programm. While programming the first thing a programmer need to do is to write a source code. After the source code is written the next step is to compile it into an executable file. After the compilation is over, you now have your programm - an executable file which now can be processed by the CPU.
While source code explains to you how the programm "thinks" or how programm's "logical data" works, the real physical events are happening here, in the hardware itself. This is so-called "as above so below".

There is a theory that millenias ago both "software" and "hardware" worked synchronously. And the Sun entered Aries right at the time of Spring Equinox.
And due to "precession of rotation" of Earth's axis there appeared a delay inbetween them. There's a chance Earth was damaged in some way due to some catastrophic event, there are many conspiracies related to that.

Merely ignoring real positions of planets would be an idiotic decision. We need a deep dive into how the reality actually works to understand why there are two systems exists right now.

One good and simple example has arisen in my mind on how to easily combine interpretations and see how both systems working together via "covid" lockdowns that we all have witnessed.

The first major lockdowns throghout the world happened in end of March beginning of April 2020.
If you use tropical abstract zodiac, what will you see? Saturn entering Aquarius. What is Aquarius? A sign of complex systems. So, our world, as an economic system was "paralyzed" by Saturn.

But if you'll switch to sidereal, you will see Saturn only transited first 5 degrees of Capricorn. What is Capricorn? A sign of energy given constant direction to achieve zenith, the "high ground", hence it's mostly used as the sing of career and profession.
What was happening in people's minds during the lockdowns? Many lost their jobs, many began to think about quiting, many thought of switching jobs, many were FORCED to switch. Many started to implement changes to their business models, so they would work in the lockdowns(i.e. creating an internet site for your services, etc).

Tl;dr many people were faced with restrictions and limitations(Saturn) with their workplaces/careers and this launched a thoughtprocess in them: am I prepared for this in the future? What should I do now? Should I stay? Should I get a new profession? Was my choice correct in the first place? How can I adapt to these limitations? How can I save my business?

So when you're realized there are no "correct" or "incorrect" zodiacs you now can see how to combine them and why there are two of them in the first place. Again: sidereal is showing global thoughtprocess, a "source code", and the tropical showing the current physical events that you can see and touch, the "hardware processing the executable".

If you need to sell your car, and you can't do that, if you come to a western astologer he will tell you what is happening here in your life, at the Earth right now, and would suggest you to wait untill bad transit end/move to other town, etc.
But when you come to an indian(keep in mind 90% of "indian vedic astrologers" don't know anything about what I've written above, only few of them are pros)astrologer with the same question, his answer would be something like: why do you need to sell your car? What inability to sell you car trying to teach you? What was the chain of events that brought you, in this particular incarnation, here, to inability to sell you car? What changes in your inner self should first occur, untill you realize your inability to sell your car is a blessing, that forces you to change?

Keeping that in mind, if you just need to sell your car as fast as possible, without making a lot of thoughtprocess, you go to western astrologer.
If you want deep dive in your destiny, you go to indian.

I really respect vedic astrology for a lot of the information they give on things it's helped me learn more. However the problem is when it comes to the charts themselves. I do not feel it's accurate. Many times something is in the wrong sign or house or area of the chart. It does not match where things are on an energy level. I have even seen them publishing stuff saying to do meditations and workings with planets when they are in fall or detriment.

So if you like read the descriptions of stuff in it you will learn a lot but western is accurate so far as the chart.
