Difference between Sidereal Astrology and Tropical Astrology




As we all know that Telugu astrology is at a rise today but with that people also think that what the difference between Seasonal Astrology and Tropical Astrology is. Sidereal and Tropical are two different types of the science of astrology. They are basically based on two different ways in which a year can be measured.
Simply speaking, a sidereal year is the total time that Earth requires to complete its journey around the Sun while stars remain at fixed positions. These are the celestial bodies that do not move at any point in a year. There are hundreds upon hundreds of these fixed stars.
The word has origins from the Greek word tropikos which means “turn”. So when you hear someone who is talking about Tropics off Cancer and Capricorn, they actually refer to the areas that are located on extreme northern and southern latitudes of earth. These are the areas where sun can be directly overhead and this is where it appears to turn during its course of annual revolution of the plant earth. The time that Sun requires to travel from point to another point in the sky using tropics is commonly called as tropical year since it is all about moving from point of tropics to another in the tropic.
There are minor differences between a sidereal year and a tropical year. A tropical year is just nine minutes shorter or smaller than a tropical year. That doesn’t seem to be a big difference. Or is it?
So how these different ways of year measurement affect zodiac?
Sidereal astrology actually consists of a starting year. The ancient Greeks used to consider Spring Equinox as the starting point of their year and so it was also considered as the starting point of the zodiac. From that starting point, the ancient Greek astrologers divided our sky into 12 segments or categories with a 30 degree division. The star from the constellation of Aries and then named each of the segment after easily recognizable constellation. This early face of astrology was based on cyclical movements. The associations were created using energies and qualities that were related with a specific period of a year. No importance was given to equinoxes as Greeks were only interested seasonal influences of the stars.

What is Astrology?




Astrology is the science or method of determining the character and future of a person. They use alignment of stars and planets for this purpose. Astrology doesn’t work for predicting future personalities. The eastern astrology is completely event oriented. It would tell you what happened in the past and what is going to happen in the future. The most common use of astrology is to apply it to create birth charts. These birth charts are created by Best Astrologer in London and can be used to read character traits and to some extent predict destiny.
Today’s western astrology is considered to be an offshoot of ancient Arab era astrology. Our astrology might also be successor of these ancient astrology. It was first developed by the Greeks and is based on fundamentals that were first developed in Babylon. It is also called “judicial” astrology. This is the kind of astrology that all of us are today familiar with. The question that why people believe in astrology is very interesting. Astrology has its own science and logic to make predictions about future events and people’s characteristics.
Astrology believes that positions of celestial bodies influence or relate to the personality traits of a person. Previously, those studying Astrology used to observe celestial objects and then used to note down their movements. The prior knowledge was not even needed. The four levels of study in astrology included all the necessary information right from the very beginning till the end where you can do your own practice.
To give a complete bibliography of astrology is beyond the scope of this article. Any interested reader can visit a well-stocked bookstore. There is another vocational astrology that can be used to assist others in finding what they are looking for.
Shamanic Astrology studies about sacred rhythms, cycles and motions of the cosmos. Astrology to some extent is an art since it also involves quick sketches and complex or difficult portraits of individuals and people. Sun astrology is a very superficial and marginality application of an ancient and complex form of science.
Today astrology has gained acceptance and recognition even in the western societies. As per a survey in 2001, 53% of Europeans consider astrology to be science while only 39% didn’t think it to astrology. Today LondonAstrologer are very famous in the European society.
