What’s the difference between the Sun Signs and the Personal Birth chart?

What you’ve always called your personal sign is what astrologers call your Sun Sign. No real astrologer uses this. But this is what people generally use and refer to at party chats. It’s anything but personal. The sun occupies a zodiacal sign for a whole month. So what this kind of sun sign astrology says is, if the sidereal sun occupies the general zodiac sign Capricorn between 15 January and 15 February, and you were born anywhere between those dates, just like a few million other people, then you are all Capricorn people. This is technically true. But what is wrong, is to think that you and your millions of other Capricorn siblings all behave precisely like how a Capricorn should, and should exhibit similar Capricorn attributes, and go through the typical life experiences that a Capricorn should. It is this basic assumption that has put real astrology to shame. The popularity of this uneducated assumption is the continued cause of the “educated” people’s general argument against astrology. You need to know that nothing so oversimplified and general can offer anything so precise and individualistic. If you want to know the specifics of your own life, then you need to get the astrologer to work on your personal chart (there cannot be another similar one; with the exception of twins). And you only get the best of this when you give your personal birth particulars.
