I've been doing astrology for many years now, since I was 12. It used to inspire my imagination and I've developed an interest in astronomy as a result. But I've always felt disastisfied by the default tropical reading that everyone does. I never related to a Sagittarius Pluto due to repeated themes in my life being the opposite, I never related to a Libra Sun because it had traits I didn't objectively possess. Something felt unfinished.
I'm the sidereal fag from another thread, I turned to sidereal somewhere in 2020, and I was shocked by how accurate everything was, especially with the equal house system that orients around the midheaven. The true vernal equinox is actually 29° Aquarius, not 0° aries that tropical orients around. But this is a complex system that isn't for beginners lol. I experimented with the ayanamsa and set it to the 1950 IAU's standard, before setting it roughly at the galactic equator.
I recently discovered that I failed throughout my life because minor planet 9 Metis is 0° conjunct my Virgo Sun. Metis demands maximum optimization of every move and resource, making the most of everything that is immediately available to me, like a chessmaster. Conjunct sun, it physically prevents you from making wasteful moves which manifests as strain and frustration. I often wondered why, thought I was doing something wrong, wasted my life overreaching for distant dreams instead of focusing on what I had in the moment. Discovering this was a breath of relief, honestly. It explained many personal things.
Some of my best days happened when Saturn was in sidereal Scorpio conjunct natal Pluto, this was in 2017. I miss those days very much. I remember setting personal structures that I thrived under, and I had a very powerful sense of identity. Now it's in sidereal Pisces and I seem to be reorienting myself again, after years of burn out and losing my sense of self.
>>69622Sun signs aren't useless, they're just highly misunderstood, oversimplified and removed from context. From my experience, the Sun is how you want to express your conciousness, or what your needs are as a concious living being. Idk yet tho, I'm still learning.
