So I’m having a lot of turmoil deciding whether to follow Western or Vedic astrology, any advice? I also want to follow the astrology posts here on Tumblr but I know majority, if not close to all, astrology blogs post the signs in accordance to Western Tropical so if I follow Vedic Sidereal then none are really relatable, right? Ex: are Scorpio sun posts applcable to both a Scorpio sun in Western or Sun in Vedic? Do you get me? Please help!

The Sidereal zodiac is currently 23-24 degrees behind the Western Tropical zodiac. That’s because the beginning of Aries in the Tropical zodiac depends on the spring equinox, which moves gradually over time due to the precession of the equinoxes. Sidereal zodiac doesn’t move.

It’s possible for someone to have a Scorpio sun in both the western and Vedic systems, but it would just depend on the degrees within the signs. If someone had their sun in the very last few degrees of Scorpio in the Tropical zodiac, it’s likely that they also have their sun in Scorpio in the sidereal zodiac. Just depends on what degrees. 

You just have to follow what you want to follow. There are definitely more resources for Western. I’ve only ever studied Vedic, but I bought a book on Western astrology aspects by accident. Because of that, I can follow what some Western astrologers are saying even if I don’t completely understand their methodology.

I don’t know that there is a lot of info on Tumblr for Vedic astrology, but there is plenty on YouTube. Sam Geppi, Kapiel Raaj, and Joni Patry all have channels. You can always see what they have to say on their channels.

Hope this helps!
