Perfect answer. All ancient methods are valid. But often u cant mix them but SET ALONG, COMPARE. Everything serves a different purpose. U need to know ur purpose for using that or another method. Be wise. It s not a horoscope in a female magazine…
„Here’s opinion from Chaitanya FX :
„Few people asked me if I had checked out Sidereal HD charts and my reply was, no
I’m familiar with Vedic and Western astro, actually several version of Vedic astro and it’s fine for what it presents. But I see no sense in mixing sidereal with HD charts. There are many arguments but the main one is that the thing represented by the chart happens and is imprinted within the Solar cell. With the Sun taking on a major role. Because of that, the starting point of Aries makes sense to me, specially since it’s connected to the seasons.
Also I have done a lot of experiment to validate the degrees of the gates and they all checkout against many other Chinese systems where the gate order is different. I know for myself that the calculation method given to Ra is correct for its intended purpose. I have proven it for myself.
Not to say the Vedic method does not have some influence, everything has an influence on us. so what? Why not use different ayanamshas? There is no end to the number of ways we can play with the data and methods of calculation. But at the end of the day, it all boils down to the purpose, if it serves the purpose then fine. Human Design as it was presented by Ra is complete and whole. And designed for one purpose, to help you individuate and go on to live your life as your true self, not some mental fantasy.
I don’t think a lot of people realize the capacity of the mind to sidetrack you from a proper deconditioning process. When I say mind, I mean the conditioned mind, the traumatized mind, the fearful mind. It will hook you up with anything to buy some time or to distract you from the unfamiliar. Adyashanti has a lot of great talks on this topic.
If you understand the mechanics, sidereal HD is almost as funny as flat earth theories. As I said before, it doesn’t matter what I think, it’s up to each individual to experiment. We do need people to poke at things and kick the tires, we need people to push the edges, no question. But we also need people to tell us if something is valid or not. People should explore all possibilities but don’t forget the gold mine in your own backyard. „
