I used to not believe in astrology because while I could feel Libra Sun and Leo Rising characteristics inside me, I felt I related even more to Taurus, Cancer, and Virgo (introverted, sensitive, and thoughtful). I did an online test to see what sign fits me the most, and I got Taurus.

Then I got a hold of my entire natal chart. I learned that my chart is Moon Dominant, which means the Moon interjects itself into a lot of my personality. My moon is in Taurus. Since the natural ruler of the moon is Cancer, that also gives me Cancerian qualities.

I learned that my next dominant planet, interjecting itself into a lot of my personality, is Mercury - my Mercury is in Virgo.

Most of my friends and family have zodiac signs that I think fit them perfectly. I looked at their charts, and found that their dominant planets/elements fit their Sun Signs or Rising Signs, while mine didn't, which makes sense of why they relate more to their Sun and Rising Signs than I do.

Like I said, I do feel characteristics of my Sun and Rising Signs inside of me, but I felt more influenced by other signs, and now knowing that the dominant planets in my chart are different from the planets attached to my sun and rising signs, it becomes more understandable.

Sure, it could just be a coincidence - but it's a pretty weird coincidence that my dominant planets just happened to rule over the zodiac signs that I had already thought fit me better.

If you're curious about your dominant planets and natal chart, there is a calculator here.

"Tropical Zodiac" is the one you've probably already heard of. Here's a link to calculate your Tropical Astrology Chart, and here's a link to calculate your Sidereal Astrology Chart.

I relate more to my Sidereal Zodiac.

I guess my Tropical Sun Sign (Libra) is somewhat accurate, but it also says that I'm charismatic, outgoing, extroverted, and flirty, which is far from the truth. My Sidereal Sun Sign (Virgo) is more relatable.

The most inaccurate part of my Tropical Zodiac is probably my Rising Sign. "Rising Sign" refers to how people see you. My Rising Sign is Leo, which would mean people think I'm popular, outgoing, I'm always the center of attention, I'm a natural leader, and I'm a queen bee. Yeeeeeeah... hell no.

According to Sidereal, my Rising Sign is Cancer, which perfectly describes how most people (who know me in-person) see me: gentle, quiet, shy, sensitive, innocent, and sweet. I took those words from the zodiac description from CafeAstrology, and they're all words that people have used to describe me.

I do have a bit of an inner fire, but it's usually not at the forefront, at least in-person. So it's accurately placed in Sidereal as my Moon Sign (Aries).

You guys are probably most familiar with my Mercury in Leo. "Mercury" refers to communication style. People with Mercury in Leo speak authoritatively. Sometimes, they can come across as know-it-alls. Numerous people online have told me I've behaved that way.

Anyway, I'm still not sure how much I believe in Zodiacs, but I found it interesting and cool to have found a zodiac system that totally resonated with me. I've heard that a lot of people relate more to their Tropical Zodiac Chart, though, hence why I'm making this poll.

Whether you believe zodiacs are real or not, it doesn't matter. I'm curious about which of these 2 systems you relate to more? If you're not familiar with your charts, calculate them using the links in the first paragraph.
