How You Text, Based on Your Mercury Placement For instance, did you know that everyone’s favorite corporate personality test, Myers-Briggs, is based on the work of famed psychologist Carl Jung who huge astrology enthusiast?! That’s right! Astrology was the foundation of Jung’s groundbreaking “personality types.” Likewise, astrology is considered by some to be the root of most psychological practices, a nd a conversation with a talk-therapist can feel a lot like working with an astrologer.
Plus, there are other things people treat way more seriously even though they’re not necessarily more “scientific” than astrology. You know how you get a sinking feeling in your stomach after receiving a nebulous text? Or are suddenly overwhelmed with jealousy if a friend receives something you wanted? Although these expressions can’t be folded neatly into data, the emotional experiences are very powerful, and having explanations for them even more so. But just because feelings aren’t quantifiable in a scientific way doesn’t mean that astrology can’t have an impact on someone’s life. We use the stars, planets, and celestial bodies to understand ourselves as multidimensional beings, recognizing that how we act isn’t always how we feel and what we do isn’t always what we desire.

This also means that ALL of your plants, points and houses may be in a different zodiac sign and house than you’ve been led to believe.

That might not seem like a lot, but over the last 2,000 years, the Vernal Point has deviated a full 24 degrees from where it was during the time of Ptolemy, rendering all calculations based on the Tropical Zodiac inaccurate.
Thus, every 72 years, the Vernal Point moves backward through the sky by one degree. So, errors caused by the use of the Tropical Zodiac in lieu of the Sidereal Zodiac would have been far less obvious.īut there’s a problem: The tropical year (Spring Equinox to Spring Equinox) is 20 minutes shorter than the sidereal year (the time it takes for the earth to complete 1 full revolution around the sun). In his defense (which I begrudgingly offer), the Vernal Point was much closer to the fixed constellation of Aries during his time. Around 150 CE, the Greek astrologer and writer, Claudius Ptolemy (pictured above–not an actual photo), suggested that the zodiac used to calculate astrological descriptions and predictions, should begin on the Vernal Equinox the zodiac system we refer to as “Tropical”.
