Astrology READING options explained
a guide to clarify what reading best suits you
Here is a guide on what Tropical and True Sidereal are about before you schedule a reading with me.
TROPICAL
Tropical is the astrology system used in Western Astrology, it is based on the archetypal meaning of the signs instead of the constellations in the sky. Tropical has 12 Zodiac signs with 30º each and it is fixed to the Northern Hemisphere seasons and their relationship to the Equinoxes and Solstices, as such the Spring Equinox marks the beginning of Aries. This is perhaps the most mainstream astrology system in our current times.
There are many methods within the Tropical system, I use Whole Sign which takes the12 zodiac signs and divides them exact within the wheel for 30º in each house starting from the Ascendant point. Personally, since I started using this system in Tropical astrology it gave me a better understanding of the chart and how to tell the story from this point of view.
This is an archetypal esoteric tool, each sign has a representation or symbol in regard to the Earth’s relationship with the Solar System and mythology. You could say Astrology with a Tropical system can be more psychological oriented and concerned with how the human experience can be interpreted in terms of concepts and patterns. Below you can see a example of what a Tropical chart would look like:
TRUE SIDEREAL
True sidereal (not to be confused with Sidereal or Vedic Astrology) is a system that calculates your natal chart based on the exact constellations as seen in the sky. Different from Tropical which is fixed to the Seasons on Earth, True Sidereal uses the exact degrees of the constellations and considers the precession of the equinoxes. True Sidereal is the only current system that is most connected to the actual constellations and reflects the changes within our Solar system, which is why constellations like Virgo for example, are no longer 30º like in the Tropical system, here is 44º instead, therefore each constellation varies in size.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
There is no right system for a reading, the human experience is certainly more complex than that. There is so much we haven’t yet discovered and all this serves as a continuing research of our existence. Astrology is a system for self-awareness; by learning about archetypes we allow ourselves to connect to fragments of our experience, and we get the language to explain how we navigate our lives. Each system focuses on the exact same principle, they’re just different calculations and therefore different parts of our psyche.
When considering choosing a system for a reading take this into consideration…
If you’re new to astrology readings, consider taking different readings from different systems and see which one you connect with the most, as life progresses we might switch to different systems, find a way to integrate many at the same time or we stay with just one throughout our lives. This is a complete personal decision and you get to connect with the one you resonate with the most.
If you already know a system and don’t feel open to new ones, choose a reading using the system you’re most familiar with. Now, if you decide to venture and learn about your chart in an another system, take the reading for a system different than the one you already use and be prepare to see yourself in a different light.
No path is better or worse, they’re simply different paths. Enjoy the ride.

In honor of my Saturn and Solar return, here is a list of 30 things I learned in my 20s. Some of them the hard way which is code for ‘when I tried to push it too hard’.
Tropical is fixed on the seasons according to the Northern Hemisphere, so where are the symbolic nuances within the system to be used with different weathers and their corresponding archetypal story in different parts of the world?

Your environment is a representation of you because it encapsules your view of the world and your role in it.
Esoterics are the talisman, because it gives you language but it doesn’t give you the experience. The experience itself can only be interpreted by you.
I thought I needed time to catch up, turns out I just continued to be me but in a different bed. Time after all was the stress but also the realization.
If you're into astrology, how much importance do you give to the Moon versus the Sun? The Moon is able to condition us monthly through it's all signs cycle through the wheel, and through all Human Design gates; allowing us to taste specific energies during the month.

How do you change a limiting belief? Limiting in the concept of "not being able to change" a non-expansive thought that keeps repeating over and over again.
How right or how wrong is a system when what we're all doing is detecting patterns from a dance in the sky and creating a story from it?
Transference gets a bad rep, so here's another perspective about it so you can gain awareness and understand that this is simply part of life.
What would happen to your belief system if you found out that the time you were born was completely different, and therefore you have a different chart; different from the one you had identify with so strong?

The 45th gate in the Throat Center of Human Design, talks about how to be a leader in the material world. In the heart of “leadership”, value is the strongest building block and trust its bridge. What is at the center of your relationships/dynamics?

The game was nothing slow-life, but it did give me a sense of being in control of something, contributing to the growth of something bigger than myself and just occupying my mind, until…
There’s something in True Sidereal that feeds on the idea that Tropical isn’t everything. Of course it isn’t, but it’s easier to connect to astrology knowing exactly what method to use.
