    "summary": "Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, fixed against the stars, while Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, which starts at the March equinox. The two have drifted about twenty-four degrees apart — most of a sign — so roughly four people in five have a different Sun sign in a Vedic chart, usually the one before their Western one. Neither system is miscalculating; they measure from different zero points.",
