I was misunderstood twice. I don't think the sidereal zodiac provides accurate descriptions for anyone, it's not good for practical use, it's only more _technically_ correct because it uses the real positions of the planets in the sky. I had already said that I use the tropical zodiac as well, it was merely food for thought.
My only concern here was that firestarter completely ignored the possibility that someone might want to know why things work the way they do. I'll naturally disagree with anyone who says that no one cares about these questions simply because in astrology "we" (who?) don't need to know reasons, just work with things as if they were facts. He/she (idk, sorry) dismissed the need for further discussion and acquisition of more knowledge.
As for using the right brain/psychic energy to read charts, well, I never said that's wrong. I only argued that the foundation of a chart is purely mathematical, that this very math is intrinsic to the system used, and that it is from all this data that we put the right brain to work. Again, food for thought.

I know all about both systems and have worked with both systems. I have been an astrologer for close to 40 years. I am a professional and I will tell you, the Vedic/Sidereal for whatever reason is not accurate. I use the tropical. Certain aspects of Vedic astrology are helpful, such as the nature of the planet is more important than the nature of the aspects. For example, squares and oppositions from jupiter are usually of a beneficial nature, especially with transiting planets, solar returns and such, while trines from saturn can be a down time.
Firestarter is correct as far as I am concerned. In order to do a competent astrology reading, one must use one's psychic abilities, along with the information given on the planets. This is because no two charts are exactly the same. The astrological chart is a map of the soul and is as individual as one's fingerprints. Two people can have the exact same aspects, but given the affairs of the houses ruled by the planets, and the other aspects and planetary placements, that same aspect will manifest differently in the two charts. In addition, psychic energy must be used in determining how a certain chart pattern or configuration will manifest in one's life.
Science has not progressed far enough [because of xianity and its ilk], to where it can explain the spiritual. Kirian photography for one can photograph the aura, but the chakras still cannot be seen. Science is making great strides in deciphering thoughts and with this, may soon be able to see the energy centers of the soul, but given the jews dominate this field, much of what is given to the public has been corrupted, especially in the way of anything spiritual.
I know all about the equinoxes and the synetic vernal point, and the sidereal aspects of astrology and as I already wrote, I have studied both systems and have found the sidereal system to be seriously flawed when doing plenty of research. The characteristics of the planets in the signs and other given information of the vedic system does not fit me or the many others I have studied.
This has been my own experience. I also came across a woman in an occult bookstore who did not like the sidereal vedic system and told me of an astrologer who read for her who used this system, who was not only 'way off' in predicitons, but the entire reading was flawed.

I understand (and agree with) what you're saying, but that's not the point. The topic here is the system which, in the case of the tropical zodiac, is considered flawed according to what we currently know. It's evident that the true astrologer is the one who gives the right answers regardless of the system, however the system itself is intrinsic to astrology and therefore is all-important.
I won't go through the details because for all I know I'm not an astronomer, but anyone wanting to know more about some of the incoherences found in the tropical zodiac should look for the Precession of Equinoxes.
Now, I'm sorry if I seem rude saying this, but though I believe you must know quite a lot about astrology and that you're trying to help somehow, it's really not up to you to dictate what it is about or what anyone needs to care about or not, and that's why you're being unhelpful. For you things work like this, yet for others it may be quite different.
As astrology itself explains, anyone with strong Mercury/Gemini/Virgo placements, for instance, will more than likely want to know reasons, especially the technical.

Like I said, we don't need nor care to know the reason for that. Astrology is about making predictions and discovering our personality, not bothering with the reasons. This is a rightbrained thing as it comes from our intuition. If it wasn't how do we associate the fire signs with fire for example or aries with its traits? You certainly don't see anything fiery in the nature of the stars or its arrangements. Not to mention that many constellations aren't even shaped like what we describe, for example Virgo is nothing ore than a "X" in the sky. But with our intuition, we shape it as a virgin and give it the traits associated with that. The same with the nature of the planets, do you see the planet Venus having a loving and luxurious nature for example? Again, this is completely right-brained process, a left brained person can't do that. That's why it may sound childsh, because often children do that same thing.
Right brained doesn't mean subjective, as many people have the same intuitions about a specific things. We have the same experiences with Satan even though it's a right brained thing.

For some people, systems do have to make sense if they are to learn and use them. He asked the same questions many competent astrologers still ask, and while it's true that the tropical zodiac does give accurate results (which is why I use it myself, like most of us) it's also true that there's currently no known reason for that at all.
Astrology is different from all the other kinds of divination for it is a system built upon the observation of the celestial bodies and their predictable movements, which relies on pure mathematics. Naturally, when it comes to the practical part of it, astrology is mostly subjective but there's hardly anything "right-brained" in its roots. Besides, incorrect data will certainly lead to incorrect interpretations and, by all it's currently known, using the tropical zodiac is indeed technically wrong. Doubt consequently shows up.
Everyone should argue, especially here, a Satanist group. Don't be unhelpful.

The reason the tropical zodiac is used is BECAUSE IT WORKS AND IT'S FOUND TO GIVE ACCURATE RESULTS. That's what's important with it, no other reason. In astrology it only matters when you make accurate predictions and give accurate results with the system you're using, not where are the planets now. In all kinds of divination and magick we use the same principle, do what works. Some things may not make sense with our CURRENT LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE, but if they use them and they work, hey who argues about that? It's useless trying to understand somehting that uses your right-brain using left-brained logic.

Thank you for answer but i am still confused.
I will make it simple.
Lets say i want to start magical square for Venus TODAY.
According to western zodiac Venus is in Scorpio ( in its detriment ) i should not do it
But when i look at the sky Venus is just entering Libra ( its Ruler sign !!! )
So whats so important about stars structure from the date they were first created ( during ancient Greek Times ) that they override current location in the sky.
