The Difference between Hindu and Western Astrology...

Western Astrology and Vedic Astrology the difference: Page Title: sayana and nirayana Western Astrology and and Vedic Astrology the difference
There are many ways to say sensible and interesting things about another person using numerology, tarot, palmistry, Western astrology and of course Vedic astrology. It's obvious how various methods give us different information because they regard subjects from different angles. So it is with Vedic astrology. (1. View the Resources or 2.

Here you have two different methods that may work well side by side however each must be interpreted and approached in different manners.
Eastern system use Ayanamsha The "ayanamsa" is the distance or the difference at present moment of time between the fixed and movable Zodiac. The Hindu system of astrology is known as Nirayana System because: The earth revolves around the Sun once in 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes and 46 seconds. Considered from the earth, the Sun appears to complete one round of the ecliptic during this period. This is called a tropical year .In the span of a tropical year, the earth regains its original angular position with the Sun. It is also called the year of seasons since on this Earth-Sun cycle depends the occurrence, and timing, of seasons. If we consider the revolution of the Sun around the earth from one vernal equinox (around 21st March, when the day and night all over the globe are equal) to the next vernal equinox, it takes one tropical year to do so. However, if at the end of a tropical year from one vernal equinox to the next, we consider the position of the earth with reference to a fixed star of the zodiac (The Ayanamsha is based on the position of the constant star Spica), the earth appears to lie some 50.26 seconds of celestial longitude to the west of its original position. In order for the earth to attain the same position with respect to a fixed star after one revolution, it takes a time span of 365 days 6 hours 9 minutes and some 9.5 seconds. This duration of time is called a sidereal year .The sidereal year is just over 20 minutes longer than the tropical year; this time difference is equivalent to 50.26 seconds of celestial longitude. Each year, the Vernal equinox will fall short by 50.26 seconds along the zodiac reckoned along the fixed stars. This continuous receding of the Vernal equinox along the zodiac is called as the precession of equinoxes This in other words, means that the plane of the equator intersects the plane of the ecliptic at a constantly shifting point. This point, the first point of Aries or the vernal equinox, goes on receding westward at a rate of approximately 50.26 seconds of arc each year. This is called the precession of the equinoxes. The result of this precession is a slow increase in the right ascensions of almost all fixed stars in the zodiac. This precession takes some 25,800 (or approximately 26,000) years to complete one circle. As will be seen, an appreciation of this precession is of paramount importance in the understanding of the basic concepts of Vedic astrology
It has been seen that because of the precession of equinoxes at a rate of
50.26 seconds per year, the distance between the Vernal equinox (the 1st point
of the movable zodiac) and the 1st point of Mesha (Aries) on the fixed zodiac
has been progressively increasing. This distance at any given epoch is called
as the Ayanamsha .The ayanamsha thus indicates the difference between the
fixed zodiac and the movable zodiac. The system that considers the fixed
zodiac is called the Niryana (without ayana!) system, while the one that
considers the movable zodiac is called the Sayana (with ayana!) system. The
Niryana values of planetary longitudes can be obtained by subtracting the
ayanamsha for a given time from the Sayana longitudes.

Now you are in for some surprises! It appears that someone, who thought
their Sun sign was Pisces, now appears to have an Aquarian Sun! This can be a
real shock. What is important is the complete image that has appeared. Most
probably in the new horoscope the Piscean-energy will be visible in another
manner (for example, perhaps the Moon will now appear in Pisces, or the
ascendant will move to Pisces in the Vedic horoscope) For more information you can visit the following web page http://www.yournetastrologer.com/basic/b01.htm
