New to Sidereal or not

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I'm new to Sidereal, although I've been studying astrology for some time. I have

IO Edition

for Mac and find it helpful. I thought the interpretation sound and thoughtful,

but

inaccurate when doing natal charts with the Tropical system.

 

I began experimenting and went for my books, my library is packed since we're

moving,

and to satisfy my strong Mercury desire for information I looked toward the

Internet. I

found it lacking at best. I'm not as advanced as what I see here so far, but I

am interested

and want to learn the value of Sidereal and how to explain it when casting a

chart and

handing over the 25 page document that tells someone they are not a Cancer Sun

as

they've thought all their life, but a Gemini. Yes, that's me.

 

I want to know exactly, in layman's terms, why this is more accurate. After

reading some

things on the Internet I've found contradictions. Is this a fixed star system

that is rectified/

adjusted? Then if that's so why isn't Tropical valid too? I know this probably

sounds

primary and is, but I want a sound foundation of understanding not bits and

pieces. I also

understand this is a lifetime of study and education. I'm not asking to be an

expert, just to

understand what I'm about to study.

 

So far the aspects and signs that are on target in my own chart fascinate me.

And, holy

cats, does it change my idea about myself!

 

Thanks, T
