2000 years ago the constellations in the sky matched the seasons. The Sun rose in Aries (the first sign of the zodiac) during the first day of spring. But since then, the stars have changed position. Today when you look at the sky, the Sun rises in Pisces, not Aries, on the first day of spring.

Most western astrology uses ‘tropical’ astrology based on the seasons (spring starting with Aries) and NOT what is really happening in the sky (spring starts in Pisces). There is now a growing difference of one to two zodiac signs between tropical western astrology and the visible sky.

Sidereal astrology observes and uses the actual visible sky.  Sidereal means : ‘determined by the stars’ or ‘star time’.
