David starling,
I said that I practice just as any other Western astrologer. The only reason I spend a lot of time in the Vedic forum, is because this community pushes me there. No one will engage my charts or questions simply because I am using a different zodiac.
I also see it the way you do, that they are different lenses. But why cannot everyone else? Why must I be pushed to the side simply because I choose to use a different zodiac?
I also agree. And truth be told, astrology would be more prevalent if people actually found their Sun signs to be true for them. I am speaking of the general public. And the most common sentiment that I have come across – is that the sun sign the tropical zodiac assigns to people does not apply to the person. So they dismiss astrology out right. "Astrology is too general, astrology is too vague."
Have you ever wondered why astrology is so prevalent in India?
Besides the cultural argument.
I personally believe that people who get into astrology are able to convince themselves that they are what the description says they are when it is the aspects that are telling the truth the most.

Take a look at some climate charts around the world. The seasonal argument only works for the northern hemisphere. And even there it only works for the areas with temperate climate. Near the equator you have no actual seasons, the only difference they know there is more rain vs. less rain and the closer you come to the arctic the less seasons you get again. So this theory would only work for a rather narrow strip between the arctic and the tropics on the northern hemisphere, like central Europe. But they use the tropical zodiac for the entire globe. So obviously there's something not quite right here.
