i liked your rant, and i also agree with you. it’s funny because western astrology still follows the signs in an inaccurate way. but in vedic, the entire chart moves backwards by 24 degrees or so. which takes the ever expanding universe into account more so that western astrology does.
in fact, you’ll find most astrologers break this inconsistency down by saying western astrology fits your overall personality and vedic astrology is more predictive and shows how your life plays out. this was huge for me, a fellow intj btw, because the logical inconsistencies of house systems and different western methods just pissed me off. it’s definitely a turn off about astrology so i just have to make sense of it myself, for myself.
i moved onto mbti because while they’re both a pseudoscience, mbti/enneagram have more ties to psychology and are much easier for my intj/te prone brain. after i read your rant and peeped the intj, i immediately thought how you broke it down fit an ni user to a t.
to finish off and stop bothering you, i completely agree with normalizing hating on something and being able to rant about it in a knowledgeable way. god forbid we spew crap when defending a point. doesn’t mean we have to secretly like it.
well wishes and stay safe 🥀✌️♥️
Omg thank you for reading though my rant<33 it's awesome to meet another fellow intj<3 and I'm so sorry for taking this long to reply
You're so right about the inconsistencies and flaws
But since we are taking about Vedic astrology in specific I thought I'd delve into this
Within Vedic astrology, there are two forms, one is the older version which was passed down by tounge and the other "corrected" version
The difference between the two mainly arises from the different calendars followed, while they are mostly same, they have an error of about 2-3 degrees. The corrected version was made by a saint called Lahari and is the one that's widely used for predictive astrology. When I researched upon this, I found that the "corrected" version was actually wrong and the original was better.
But this isn't in support of Vedic astrology because I think it has its own flaws because it doesn't consider the outer planets, the degrees of the aspects, comets, etc.
And thankyouu, it's so cool to be complimented by an Intj. I tried to get deep into mbti and enneagrams but I couldn't because of the inconsistencies there too but, if I start on that, it's gonna be a whole other rant so I'm gonna finish off now.
