People often ask me why natal chart calculation on my site shows incorrect data. That is, the planets, in their opinion, are not in the signs where they should be, and in general everything is different. Since the topic is raised often, and many people simply have not heard about sidereal astrology, which I use, I decided to write a special post and explain why some of my calculations do not agree with generally accepted astrology. Here you can express your opinion and ask questions.

Sidereal astrology differs from traditional astrology in that it projects real zodiacal constellations onto the ecliptic, rather than just dividing it into 12 parts, starting from the vernal equinox. In addition, the sidereal approach takes into account the phenomenon of precession, which was discovered by Hipparchus back in II century BC, and it invariably (from century to century) affects the shift of the star pattern that we see from Earth. The pictures below illustrate this clearly. Also in this article, I provide a set of parameters that I use for sidereal calculations.

The presence of Ophiuchus on the ecliptic circle is a well-known fact. It's located between Sagittarius and Scorpio, and, according to the established opinion, is either completely or partially absorbed by Scorpio constellation. However, if you look closely at the map of the celestial sphere, you may be surprised to find that Ophiuchus covers the ecliptic much more than Scorpio. This means that the Sun stays in this constellation for a long time - in fact, 18 days a year. And, given the astrological principle that the energy of the constellations affects the inhabitants of the Earth, we can conclude that Ophiuchus persons are born much more often than Scorpios ones. But how can we adapt the astrological knowledge accumulated over the centuries to interpret the new constellation of the Zodiac? Maybe we can fill in the missing gaps with the help of Ophiuchus? Let's figure it out.

Many people perceive the Zodiac as something ephemeral and not quite true. They consider it the subject of complete harmony: 12 signs, 12 months, 12 houses, 4 elements, 3 spiritual areas, etc. At the same time, every zodiac sign have the size of 30 degrees, and it seems harmonious. Everything is fair, everything is equal. However, the Zodiac is not a figment of human imagination, despite the fact that the individual modeled it. But he did it, watching the sky! In space, as well as on Earth, phenomena don't have regular forms.
