• The roots of Western Tropical astrology (the type of astrology most Westerners are familiar with today) date all the way back to ancient Mesopotamia (2300 BC). From there, perhaps as early as 600 BC, astrology made its way into ancient Greece. Astrology's entrance into Greece coincided with the beginning of the first great Greek philosophers and with the rise of the Greek state and culture.
• It was during this 300 year period of time that the study, development, and acceptance of astrology flourished among the prominent thinkers of the day. ... and it was during this period of time, when horoscopic, zodiacal, individualized astrology - much as we recognize it today - first came into existence. ...
• After a several hundred year “heyday” in ancient Greek and then Roman culture, astrology in the West became rather quiet during the period of time now called the Middle Ages. In fourth century AD, the Christian Church was busily at work getting ready to establish itself as the predominant Western world power and belief system for the next several hundred years, and astrologers of the day were not keen on losing their heads (as mentioned above). So out of necessity and wishing to avoid persecution, the practice of Western astrology went underground. During the next several hundred years of its rule, the Church in Rome vacillated back and forth over its official viewpoint of astrology. At times Christian church leaders condemned astrology as being heretical, and at other times church leaders sought out the guidance of astrologers.
• For the most part, Western astrology stayed underground until its reemergence during the European Renaissance (ranging in date anywhere from 1453 - 1598 to as late as the 1670s). ... - astrology once again gained prominence among the scholastics of the day. One of the more notable astrologers during the latter Renaissance period, William Lilly (1602-1681), remonikered astrology as being "Christian Astrology" in order to keep the still rather powerful (and vacillating) Christian church leadership at bay.

• Vedic Astrology is a science dating back to more than 5000 years. ...
• These writings form the backbone of present day Vedic Astrology. ...
• Vedic Astrology is thus the earliest form of Astrology and is a system that has changed very little over the course of time. ...
• Its western counterpart, known as Western Astrology has its roots in the Roman civilisation. ...
• Many scholars now believe that Astrology travelled to Egypt through the middle east(Babylonian culture). Babylonians had a strong connection with the Vedic civilisation flourishing in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent and so it can be said that their Astrology was very similar if not completely identical to Jyotish. ...
• The modern day Western Astrology was deeply influenced by the Theosophical Movement. ...

• Teachings in Western and Vedic Astrology .
• For as long as I have been practicing astrology, I've heard both Western and Vedic astrologers reject each other's approach. ...
• Each medical method, and each branch of astrology, is a discrete system that should be used and evaluated on its own terms. It is almost as if the very similarities between Western and Vedic astrologies (and the fears around cross-breeding) make it difficult for astrologers using either system to accept the other.
• Vedic criticisms of Western Astrology.
• At least in Western astrology there is no similar ambiguity.
• Vedic astrologers do not use the constellations as they really are any more than Western astrologers do. ...
• Vedic astrology uses the Zodiacal signs very differently than Western astrology. There are no classical Vedic Sun sign texts (whereas there are many in Western astrology) because the signs are much less elaborately explored than in Western Astrology. If there is an astrology that is sign-centered, then it is Western astrology, and certainly not house and planet centered Vedic astrology.
• This is a very misinformed belief on the part of Vedic astrologers who never mastered Western astrology sufficiently to become adept at predictions using Western astrology. ...
• Many Western astrologers are less interested in predicting mundane facts about a person, and in fact some find such an orientation unappealing, but this does not mean that they cannot make such predictions.
• Many modern Western astrologers question the value of predicting that the person has two children or that they moved when they were two years old. ... This type of information is also of less value to many Western astrological clients, who are usually more interested in psychological issues and the unfolding of life's lessons and opportunities, and so Western astrologers have come to speak to their clients' interests. (This orientation may also be a side effect of the Western cultural derision towards astrology, which would sway many practical people away from consulting astrologers. ...
• Many Western astrologers, nevertheless, have made innumerable successful mundane predictions. Western clients do want to know when they will marry, move, or get a new job, and are happy with the work of their Western astrologers. ...

• BACKGROUND TO ANCIENT ASTROLOGY.
• Wondering why your Vedic astrological chart looks so different than your Western chart? Been a Leo all your life, and wondering why you're now suddenly a Cancer? It's because Vedic astrology uses a different zodiac than Western astrology (I'm tempted to say that Vedic uses "the REAL zodiac") -- one that changes the positions of the planets by more than 23 degrees from what you're probably used to.
• It took them many generations to do this, and many more before they could begin to accurately track the motions of the planets (which in astrology means the Sun, Moon, and the planets) through the constellations.
• That's why it's so difficult for Western astrology to make accurate predictions about real-world events (i. ... Western astrology has developed many, many powerful techniques, and I have great respect for Western astrologers. However, just try applying those same techniques in tandem with the sidereal zodiac, and watch how much more powerful those techniques become! It takes astrology back out of the solely symbolic, psychological realm, and puts its other foot back in the real world where it belongs.
• The Western sidereal zodiac is called the "Fagan-Bradley" measurement, after two men who created (or re-created) it. ...
• Western astrologers who make use of the sidereal zodiac (they are known as "siderealists," and mainly located in Great Britain) tend to use the Fagan-Bradley measurement.
• Astrology is based on the stars! Sidereal astrology means "the astrology of the stars" (the Latin word sider = star). It is sometimes also called "constellational" astrology for the same reason. Tropical astrology, because of a 2000-year-old fudge factor, is based on the Sun and the seasons, instead of the stars. ...
• So, if you've had a fallen Moon in Scorpio all your life, take heart! In Vedic astrology, it's probably in Libra! Unfortunate people proud of their Leo Sun-sign, will have to get used to a little Cancerian humility. ...

• Not bad going! Aside from the forecast, which will come to later in this letter, I want to give out some information to you which you might find of interest, for there is much more to Chinese astrology than the 12 animal signs one finds on the place mats in Chinese restaurants - just as there is much more to Western astrology than what we read about in the newspaper horoscope section. ...
• Chinese astrology is actually an ancient, august system of divination that has evolved quite independently of the rest of the world and is, in fact, the sister system to the astrology we know in the West, giving us - as it were - the missing pages of a long-sought chapter on the mysteries of astrological art and practice. ...
• In this way, we could say that Aries would be the 1st Branch in Western astrology, were we to use such terminology. ... Animals are a convenient tool for memorizing what the intrinsic meaning of each Branch is, and there is some parallel between the zodiacal signs (Aries=1) as phases of the Western Zodiac and the Chinese Branches, although the 1st Month Branch (Rat) corresponds loosely with Sagittarius, not Aries. Seeming inconsistencies aside, the animal symbolism in Chinese astrology is actually an esoteric blind for what is really a much more profound meaning and mechanism. ...

• From the Chinese astrologer, as well as getting the natal chart, we also get what are known as The 4 Pillars (Year, Month Day and Hour) - the foundation of their fate calculation systems - the possibility of at least 100 derived "stars" in addition to the actual planets, the further subdivision of the zodiacal wheel into 28 lunar mansions with all those resultant meanings and the inclusion in the analysis of many other cycles--planetary and otherwise - of which Western astrology knows little or nothing. ...
• Secondly, much of Chinese astrology in the public domain is actually what is known as Ming Shu - Fate Calculation - which does not use the actual planetary positions at all.
