About time someone spoke up, particularly a JYOTISHI who is independent and several other things that some of the others do not seem to be

I am talking about this TROPICAL sun-sign that this forum is forcing upon us even in the vedic astrology section which uses sidereal zodiac: the What you see is what you get zodiac! Look up and you will SEE!

I have nothing against the tropical zodiac, which is earth based, and season - based and seasons change and so on!

WHY ARE THOSE THAT BELIEVE IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY and USE the SIDEREAL ZODIAC being forced to be mislabeled on this FORUM?

Is it a, "TAKE IT OR LEAVE..." proposition?

SWETHA -- This MUST BE CORRECTED soon because it is simply INCORRECT in the JYOTISH framework and disrespectful for those who do not use the tropical zodiac.

PLEASE GIVE US BACK OUR TRUE SIGNS! Which are moon signs and in the sidereal zodiac anyway!

I am surprised that I an ordinary citizen on this metropolis had to bring this up where we have a WHOLE BUNCH of JYOTISHIS AND JYOTISH GURUS AND GURUKULS AND SO ON!!

WHEN WILL WE JYOTISH-TYPES GET *OUR* ZODIAC BACK MODERATORS AND OWNERS?

AND IF THERE IS A TECHNICAL PROBLEM, CAN WE PLEASE TURN OFF THIS ZODIAC SIGN FEATURE WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE WRONG AND MEANINGLESS ALREADY! BY ITS OWN FOLLOWERS! AND HAS PROMPTED BOOKS SUCH AS ASTROLOGY AND SUPERSTITION BY EYSENCK AND NIAS!

Despite its nearly 4X higher usage and value, JYOTISH and SIDEREAL zodiac has received a back-seat on this forum!

Under our forum names and awatars we are given a zodiacal label that is tropical and meaningless for us!

WHY? Should we be *labelled* like this? Should we not speak up??

I had this feeling two weeks back and wanted to bring this to light. Thanks for this post

Then we are giving you the   TROPICAL sun-sign  so that none of you forget your little "sister" Western Astrology

(Huuuummm maybe we can draw the conclusion that western people, aren't that much controlled by the star as vedic people, and the funny thing is that they still are able to function even so, there is marriages every day )

But the "ball" is on our Headmasters" field, so maybe you will get your funny looking sign soooooonnn

BTW, I assume that you want the sign only to display when you are in vedic part of the site?, if not, then we must start to ask people question when they reg...what kind of Astrological belief do you have?......huuummm  maybe that would bring up "bad thoughts"

So even me would have a new sign in Vedic, and I would find that exciting, just like I hope you find ours now

I think it would be neat to have both signs.  For me, westerner that I am, it would help to have both.

This forum is to discuss about sun-sign or moon sign symbol in our avatar???

I thought we discussed about serious vedic matters here by serious people witha great mind.



If it had indeed taken a backseat then how come it got more responses in Vedic than in Western.

I am sure the moon-sign or sunsign matter won't bother most people on MysticBoard.
