Its not that you SHOULD correct ... but I believe you should be aware of what exactly the chart you got IS calculating. ... BY the way... some tropical astrologers virtually ignore the outer ring on a chart and give astrological 'sign' little influence ... its come a long way away from what it used to be , the science of the stars movements and relationship and their effects on individuals and society.
My chart was done for me by an astrologer/house friend ~25 years ago (ouch!)... anyway, she used big books with lots of numbers and worked out how everything fitted in, based on time of birth and location, in what (to me) seemed like a complex and involved manner. This chart (stored in a box, which I am ever so tempted to go searching for...), from memory, included inner and outer rings and places me right on Gemini / Cancer cusp (0 degrees)... If I go just by 'birthday' I am a few days into 'Cancer' - though as both you and Fire Cat commented, those around me (and myself) are ever so aware of the strong and obvious influence Gemini has on my personality...
I cannot say (without finding the chart) exactly what method was used, I am guessing it is some form of Tropical astrology...? though I do know that there was no computer involved
Not surprised ... some astrologers get angry with me for ever bringing it up. It is rapidly changing though.
It all has to do with the ease of calculation; making an equal 30 degree 12 division circle starting from the equinoctal point (which is in itself arbitrary, the G,D. astrology is set at Regulus ... a star in Leo ... some use Spica in Virgo ) ... they base things on this grid regardless of what stars are in the grid.
It gets obviously silly when. eg. one looks up the astrological actual (sidereal) position of ... say Spica (the bright star in the sprig of grain Virgo is holding in her left hand) .... give me a sec ....
Longitude (1900) 22LIB27 ( 22 degrees Libra 27 minutes) ; (2000) 23LIB50.
You can see the movement and also the designation in Libra ... because tropical astrologers call that part of the sky - within the actual asterism of Virgo - Libra.
and just to stimulate your thought more ... they changed it all around anyway to make the constellations fit a nice even 12 x 30 degree segments ... they chopped off Scorpio's claws and gave them to Libra's scales ... and other 'modern atrocities ' .
It goes on and on .... I have been studying it for some years, including ancient astrology (pre Ptolemaic astrology as well and also native and indigenous astrologies ... including the local ones , some which still survive in living traditions 10s of 1000s of years old (here).
People may say a constellation is an 'artificial' construct (on that level so is much of everything we study ... including astrology (the earth is NOT the centre like it shows on your natal astrology chart - tropical or sidereal - ) BUT the comparisons I have made with cultures that have had no contact with each other (eg. Australian Aboriginal and Greek) may lead one to suppose otherwise ... at least they seem 'natural' as an image in the 'collective imagination' of cultures with no contact and very different environments and lifestyles .
As I said above, a good astro site should give you an option within the calculator to select sidereal.
I can answer more queries about this, but if not relating to tarot and numerology, best to PM me.
I am fascinated by these latest posts and actually don't believe that they are off topic, as my curiosity relates to several methods arriving at the same (or similar) advice, door.. or meandering along the same path - or... as you point out in your posts about sidereal astrology ... when they arrive at slightly different conclusions ...
Jumping back slightly to where the issue was raised of numerology faltering when different versions of a name exists (depending on language) - I know I am no expert , though have come to the understanding that a certain amount of your 'personality' may be reflected in your 'name'...
Now, if your name is spelled one way in one language and a different way in another language, this could potentially result in a variation in how numerology describes your personality... I know it is a leap, yet having grown up bi-lingual I have often been told that I have a different personality depending on which language I am speaking... suggesting that a variation and the resulting calculation, may on some level provide a valid point? However, I am just as inclined to believe that any variations on my part are Gemini running amok
Someone sent me some mental health affirmations, and I'm getting better.
Thank you for those laughs
