If it the chart is wrong then it must be tropical which doesn't take into account the precession of the equinox. Again you may be confused between tropical and sidereal astrology. Jyotish is the latter. I'm not confused. I don't care. Whatever Mars is in front of it doesn't have any effect on me. It never did. This "one type of astrology is better than the other" is a red herring. Take whatever type you like and prove it works is all I ask! I think we have better explanations for everything that you claim is due to planetary influence. Prove it and I won't need to bother keeping up with psychology any more, which will be fine by me, all those tedious and exacting experiments when all we really need to do is ask Russell Grant for a chart! To answer your - also inaccurate - point below, the people who invented astrology DID think the Earth was the centre of the universe and everything went round it. They had no idea it was otherwise. Yes, it is based of visual observation. Likewise the astronomy which was developed for astrology first was then later used for ship navigation which also depended on visual observations. Worked didn't it? So astrology is an accurate science because The Beagle found it's way home? That astrologers now use accurate charts is irrelevant to whether it works, when it was invented they thought the world was vastly different to how we know it is. The bonkers maths used to put the Earth in the middle and everything going round it is clever to us and useful to sailors but to early astrologers it was the only way of representing what they thought was reality.
