This post probably is a response to ayanamsa:

 

 

Sidereal astrology is the system of astrology used by some Western and all Jyotish astrologers who base their interpretation around the use of the sidereal zodiac. Its primary feature is that the signs of the zodiac align to the sky constellations of the same name. The signs therefore run between dates which are different from the tropical zodiac used in the West. For example, Aries runs from March 21 to April 20 in the tropical zodiac but extends from April 14 to May 14 in the sidereal (although the precise dates may vary depending on the sidereal system used).

In effect, in most Western astrology the link between sign and sky constellation has been broken, whereas in Sidereal astrology it remains of paramount importance.

It was introduced to the West by the Irish astrologer Cyril Fagan in 1944 and is practiced by a minority of Western astrologers.

Many people consider this system as fraud because it doesn't make sense when it comes to the Ascendant of a chart and prefer the tropical coordinate system instead.

 

 

Today, some read Ptolemy as dropping the concept of a fixed celestial sphere and adopting what is referred to as a tropical coordinate system instead: in other words, one fixed to the cycle of the Earth's seasonal cycle rather than its orbital cycle. Such a view is consistent with the reading of Ptolemy as a geocentrist. The geo-centrist view understands the motion of celestial objects in strict relation to the Earth as a fixed frame of reference. This view understands the celestial sphere as rotating around the Earth like the spheres of the other planets and the moon: only more slowly.

One example, people with Ascendant Lion can be immediately recognized when entering a room. Not that they are only loud, they're also attracive, elitists and fierce. When it was detected that 99.9% of the rock singers all have Ascendant Lion according the tropical coordinate system but have Ascendant Cancer according Jyotish ayanamsa calculation, many professional astrologers immediately rejected Jyotish ayanamsa.

Wht is really a bad joke is to say/presume that predictive gimmicks are Vedic astrology since we do not find any mention of Mesha (Aries), Vrisha (Taurus) etc. rashis (astrological signs) nor the much dreaded Mangal (Mars) and Shani (Saturn) etc. planets in any of the Vedas or the Vedanga Jyotisha etc. !
