"Western Astrologers use the Tropical Zodiac, which is based on the seasons, not the signs. Anyone who seriously researches the subject would know that." <Jawer shares these three simple facts to help clear up the astrological matter (pardon the pun): 1. Astrology is Earth-centric. Not Star- or Moon-centric. If the Moon's relative position to the stars changes, that doesn't mean the Zodiac changes. 2. Western astrologers have used a Tropical or season-based Zodiac for about 2,500 years. That is why time and location of birth are so important. 3. The signs of the Zodiac, while represented in constellations, are not derived or aligned exclusively with constellations (although they did so coincidentally around 2000 years ago.)> There is more interesting reading at the link above. SCORPIO RULES!!!!!
