Because in the northern hemisphere, Libra is the time of the autumnal equinox
WHy is that??? I dont use those terms, detriment, fall or whatever, they create a false impression. We take the Sun sign by its own merits in the chart and what it aspects. Libra is a charming, peaceable sign and like everything to be harmonious and fair.Whats up to my astrology people, I have my sun sign in libra that is considered not too good. does anybody have any feedback for this placement
When a chart is drawn up, the calculations are adjusted for the southern hemisphere even though the default position is Greenwich Meantime in London. So reversing the chart or whatever doesnt make sense.Being a Libran sun myself, I have wondered as to the influence on those Librans such as myself born in the Southern hemisphere (when its Spring in Oct).
Yes Bernadette had a good reputation here in Australia but experimenting and going against the basic principles doesnt really work.To the best of my knowledge, nobody's ever worked that one out, Re. I've seen a few attempts at reversing the zodiac for the southern hemisphere, though, and not been impressed. Then again, I don't know the qualifications of the people doing them - I expect you'd have to be pretty expert in celestial motion mechanics to even try to take a stab at it, and sadly these days astrologers are very unlikely to be astronomers as well.
You might want to get in touch with Bernadette Brady - I know she's on the Net somewhere - she lives in England now, but practised and taught in Australia for many, many years, so she may have an opinion on the subject. I don't agree with her 100%, but she does know what she's doing.

Tropical Astrology in the Southern Hemisphere?
In the Southern Hemisphere (hereafter SH) the seasonal cycle is reversed. If the elemental qualities of the seasons are crucial in determining the distinctions between the signs of the zodiac, as seems to be the case, then the way people in the SH go about expressing the energy of the signs will be different.
Of course, if we hold that Astrological symbolism is universal, despite its origins in the temperate climes of the Northern Hemisphere (hereafter NH), then this point is irrelevant. But if we hold that Astrology is just as much about place as it is about time, that our experiential relationship to place is important, then this is an idea worthy of serious consideration.
Now, it is important to notice that the basic nature of the signs remains the same (i.e., an Aries is still an Aries), but the seasonal difference means that the mix of elemental qualities does change. Theoretically, this will bring about a change in the way a SH sign goes about expressing itself, even though the intrinsic nature of the sign has not changed.
Before outlining the probable difference in expression of each SH sign, it is worth highlighting the main points of difference between the elemental mix of NH and SH signs.
First, many of the signs merely swap their mode of expression with another sign of the same triplicity. We see this below in relation to the signs: Aries and Sagittarius, Gemini and Libra, Virgo and Capricorn, and Cancer and Pisces.
Second, the three pure signs in the NH, Leo, Gemini, and Pisces, become mixed signs in the SH. Meanwhile, the three mixed signs in the NH, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, become pure signs in the SH. Thus, the SH loses the pure fire sign in Leo, but gains a pure earth sign in Taurus.
Third, the SH signs that differ markedly from their NH namesakes are, as one would expect, those that fall in the middle of their respective seasons, namely, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius.
23 your right expect 23-25 degrees libra is excepted in the combust due the stars of aractus and Spica, and this holds so in horary.
Well, it used to be but its more so 23 degrees now, due to the procession the equnioxs.
