Question:
“Under the tropical zodiac I’m a Sagittarius, but under sidereal I’m a Scorpio and everything written is just like me, so I stick to that. Why don’t you like the sidereal zodiac?”
Answer:
First, your Sun sign says very little about you. You don’t really believe that 8.33% of the population (12 Sun signs, 8.33% each sign) has the same distinct personality characteristics, to the same degree, and that there are only 12 types of people, do you?
Regarding the above question about why I mostly avoid the Sidereal zodiac, to sum up, it’s antiquated and imprecise. Please see this blog post for more information: https://scottpetullo.com/2011/01/your-real-sign-hasnt-changed-and-11-other-astrological-truths/
The inquiry above implies absolute focus on Sun signs, which is very unfortunate.
The problem with focusing on only one or even a handful of indicators, such as a Sun sign, is low accuracy rates (related to outlining personality, or prediction).
You aren’t one single sign, such as “a Scorpio” or “a Sagittarius” any more than you are a hand or an eye. You are a collection of signs, planets and other heavenly bodies, and your unique configurations include key heavenly bodies that are more potent than others.
Additionally, self-analysis is notoriously skewed. For example, someone might actually believe that they are “very adaptable,” yet in reality they aren’t.

It’s highly recommended to avoid primary focus on the Sidereal zodiac, along with trivial forms of astrology, such as Sun sign astrology. A seasoned practitioner using a solid system of checks and balances helps you to gain an edge in life and reduce your risk.
