Genetic Matrix now offers a True Sidereal Astrology Human Design Chart. So your next question is probably, what is True Sidereal? Traditional Human Design was based on Tropical Astrology, as a matter of fact, most people use Tropical astrology, which is based on the seasons, but there is a form of astrology that uses the actual location of the constellations in the sky. When using Tropical Astrology a planet’s astrological position doesn’t always line up with its actual position. True Sidereal shows the actual position of a planet at any given time.
Traditional astrology is based on the Ecliptic, which is the path the Sun travels and is broken down into 12 different signs that are then further broken down into 30 degrees pers sign. Some people believe there is a 13th sign Ophiuchus, which can be found between Scorpio and Sagittarius, which passes right through the Ecliptic. Some people believe Ophiuchus should be considered an astrological sign. Sidereal 13 uses equal degrees for each sign, so Scorpio and Ophiuchus are the same sizes, but True Sidereal uses 13 signs and the signs are actual degrees on the Mandala. In True Sidereal Scorpio is very small, while Ophiuchus is large.
In these charts, you can see Brittany Spears has her Sun and Mercury in Ophiuchus. Ophiuchus is considered the sign of the go-getter. People with planets in Ophiuchus tend to be very passionate, impulsive, and can potentially head in the wrong direction. They usually enjoy change and love their freedom. They have the potential to have a temper, can be very curious, secretive, and even have a tendency of being jealous or have trust issues. People with Ophiuchus tend to be very straightforward.
Sometimes I go out to the beach and use Sky View an iPhone app to look up at the sky to see where the stars are at night. Occasionally you can look up and see that a planet that an astrologer will say is in a certain sign, appears to be in the sign next to it. This app is based on the actual position of the planets instead of an astrological position.
