This is just me but the new zodiac alignment is just hogwash to me. I've been and always will, go by the one created by the Babylonians.

Yea, but that's not Western. That has some funky name and isn't well known. I wish I could find it again. It's completely different than Eastern and Western.


If it's not Eastern or Western- where did it come from?


I found it! Sidereal astrology. Though this page doesn't have much information on it at all... And aparantly it's Eastern according to this article, but it's Western according to everything I just found on google O.o I'm gonna have to do some more research for this

It's been a while since I've read through the entire thread, so sorry. But I finally found it what I was getting so flustered about.

About a month or so ago, they were talking about the zodiac change and how it will cause an identity crisis cause of the other signs getting moved to different dates so they can add the 13th one.

Do you know where it comes from if it's not considered eastern or western?

Yea. They seem to be just messing it up and confusing everyone.

I don't know. I haven't been able to find any good information on it yet. Everything I've found seems to contradict everything else...

I found one that says it originated in ancient Egypt. Then there are a few saying it is Eastern. One says it's a combination of Egyptian, Babylonian and Greco-Roman thinking during Alexander the Great.

There isn't a single unified sidereal astrological system. The Hindus have been using sidereal astrology for thousands of years. There's some evidence that some Greeks did as well. There have also been modern systems of western sidereal astrology developed in the 20th century.

Well that helps. What I have been finding has been confusing. I found that it is the stationary signs, but nothing said who first discovered it or anything.

I think it's kind of rude to snub all of the central Asian and northern African astrology systems- the sign has been there for thousands of years. 3nodding
