The Zodiac: Sidereal Vs. Tropical

Critics of astrology often argue that “astrologers,” a loosely defined group that includes dabblers, serious students, and practicing astrologers, are uniformed in regard to the existence of two zodiacs. They may be right about the first group, but certainly not about the second and third. For the past 40 years, at least, most serious astrology books have drawn attention to the tropical-sidereal debate when the topic of the zodiac is discussed. There is no excuse for anyone who considers themselves an “astrologer” today to be ignorant of the existence of this complex issue.
