There is a document among the Brahmin's of India who are the highest astrologers in the nation. The Yavanatanka its the history of Vedic astrology it states they got their sidereal astrological system with the 27 stars from the Greeks when Alexander came into the continent. The Egyptian inscriptions on their temple walls show they used the sidereal system as well. The ancient Greeks stated they channeled the knowledge of astrology from the Goddess Asteria.
Proper astrology is sidereal with the 27 star system. That is were the stars are actually located at the time of calculation. If you are using western astrology your charts are off by around 23 degrees. And the 27 star system gives the greater accuracy.
In the east the Jiva Atman the individual soul is ruled by the moon not the sun. The moon sign is given greater importance with birth dates as well. The western Emperor's usually put their moon signs on their coins as well not sun sign. In the east the moon is the ruling power behind existence not the sun. Its also given all the vowels this is why in the west the moon is ruled by the letter A in the ancient alphabets. A is the letter and power of the ruling element Akasha-spirit the ether. The soul is of the element of Akasha in the east and in ancient Egypt. All the vowels are permutations of the letter A and the Akashic energy. And the ruling powers of creation. The Egyptians considered the seven vowels to be the name of the hidden god the Akashic field or source field behind all existence. This is ruled by the moon not the sun.
This is why Manas [moon] the mind and emotions are ruled by the moon these are direct aspects of the eternal soul that is why one soul reincarnates with their past life memories and emotions. The Catholic Empire banned all astrology and Astrology was almost all but banned under Caesar Augustus this is why people are still using the position of the stars from western Zodiac its the map of what the night sky was around that period. This is why western astrology has been confused and does not function properly. Your moon sign will tell you more about your soul along what sign of the 27 star signs your born under with your ascendant.
The Egyptians called the soul the eternal aspect the Ba this relates to the moon in the east. They use the mantra Ba to activate the lunar chakra. Its the mantra name of the lunar center. It connects to the heart chakra the spiritual heart by a energy circuit. Its also called the goat mantra the horned animal relates to the letter A of the Egyptians and ancient Greeks as well. The ancient rites were done under the moon and night sky. That is why the celling of Egyptian temples have the Zodiac of the night sky upon them as well.
