In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of astrology by exploring the two primary zodiac systems: the Sidereal Zodiac, integral to Eastern Vedic astrology of India, and the Tropical Zodiac, foundational to Western astrology, with origins in ancient Greece and Babylon (modern-day Iraq). This topic is a source of considerable debate among astrologers, mainly because the Tropical Zodiac does not align with the actual positions of celestial bodies.

The Tropical Zodiac maintains a strong presence in Western popular culture, yet it often leads to confusion when individuals discover its astronomical inaccuracies. Many Western astrology enthusiasts begin their journey with the Tropical Zodiac due to its widespread recognition. However, as they deepen their understanding, some find the discrepancies unsettling. Despite this, the Tropical Zodiac continues to hold sway over mainstream consciousness, even as a growing number of Western astrologers transition to the Sidereal system.

What is widely accepted does not necessarily equate to being truthful or precise. This is reminiscent of the not-so-distant past when the prevailing belief was that the Earth was the center of the universe, with all celestial bodies revolving around it. Any framework built upon shaky premises is destined to crumble, as we will explore in the future implications of the Tropical Zodiac. In contrast, those ideas grounded in a solid foundation of truth and accuracy endure over time, much like the Sidereal Zodiac.

This three-part article aims to unravel the story of Eastern and Western astrology by examining the foundational principles behind these two systems. We will scrutinize them through various lenses, including historical, philosophical, astronomical, and futuristic perspectives, among others. Join us as we embark on this enlightening journey to better understand the zodiac and its profound impact on human culture and consciousness
