Right, what I meant was it would be worthwhile to study what has been written on the subject by academics precisely because like you they have also studied the subject, but unlike you they have systematically put forth that study in a way that allows for peer review and for others to critically exa...

Dear Skyscripters, First, let me express my respect for you. This is a very rigorous and intellectual community, I have not found a comparison to it elsewhere in the subject of astrology. I am lucky to have access to your thoughts, opinions, and research. I?m very comfortable being wrong. Being wron...

I don't think academics has to be anyone's "thing" necessarily but it's still nice to know what the consenus is so we know where we fit into things that way. That I can't tell you which academics believe this or that doesn't mean I have not done research. As I see it, the tropical zodiac ...

It takes a lot of time to research a book, so I ask questions to those who have already researched it. In the event that you had the answer readily available, it...

Please point me to a reference where the terms are astronomically defined, and that would be the end of the argument. I would accept my mistake, correct it, and you wouldn't have to make such a drama out of it. The point however, is that the Siddh?ntas and Pur??as define the zodiac based on solstice...
