That barista is very interested in astrology. I only brought up the article because, after reading it, I was genuinely not sure was what my zodiac sign was. I have always thought my sign was cancer, but I don't remember you ever mentioning if that is right.
Hello I may have not because I do not consider the signs as important as the geometric aspects between the planets! I will be commenting on your chart here if that is o.k. with you and also hope your friend joins us; I could answer some of his questions about sidereal and Vedic astrology here. Perhaps he could help us with a better understanding as well.
You are a Cancer in regards to the Earths movement in relationship to the Sun through the seasons; which is the tropical zodiac. You are also a Cancer in the Vedic or Sidereal approach because the Sun has only had a procession of approximately 22 degrees in its relationship to the stars which is not enough to put your sign back one.
