To answer the question of whether Western astrology, which uses the Tropical zodiac, is more accurate than Vedic astrology, which uses the Sidereal zodiac, we will examine two cases. Use this link on Astro.com to choose birth chart settings.
Case 1: Taylor Swift Birth Chart
In a detailed analysis of Taylor Swift's Birth Chart, the conclusion strongly favors the Tropical Zodiac system (left) as the most suitable framework for understanding her talents and achievements. A key aspect is the Moon in Cancer (♋), positioned in its own sign, intensifying emotional depth and sensitivity in shaping her character. Jupiter (♃) in its exaltation sign within the Moon's territory forms a powerful conjunction, enhancing Swift's emotional insight and wisdom.
Mars (♂) and Pluto (♇) in Scorpio (♏), their home sign, contribute to Swift's strength, intensity, and transformative energy, emphasizing her determination and resilience. Additionally, Saturn (♅) in Capricorn (♑), its governing sign, combines with Uranus (♅), fostering a balance between tradition and progressive thinking in Swift's life.
Case 2: Elon Musk Birth Chart
In Elon Musk's Sidereal zodiac birth chart (right), key planetary conditions shape a unique narrative. The Sun (☉) in Gemini (♊), aligning with Mercury (☿), emphasizes intellectual prowess. The Moon (☽) in Leo (♌) gains strength through its alliance with the Sun. Mercury stays influential in its own sign. Venus (♀) thrives in Taurus (♉), Mars (♂) excels in exaltation in Capricorn (♑), and Jupiter (♃) in Scorpio (♏) benefits from Mars's strength. Saturn (♅) in Taurus (♉), reinforced by Venus, brings a disciplined approach to business.
Conclusion: Which is More Accurate — Vedic astrology that uses the Sidereal zodiac or Western Astrology that uses the Tropical zodiac?
In conclusion, neither Vedic astrology nor Western astrology can be deemed accurate universally. The accuracy of the zodiac must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The accuracy of the zodiac, Tropical or Sidereal, and the house system (Placidus, Whole, Equal, etc.) must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
