Dear Ms Pirez, it seems no one has explained to you the difference between sidereal and tropical astrology. In the West tropical is more widely practiced and the datum from which all calculations are made is the Spring Equinox when the Sun is at zero degrees Aries. The SIGN Aries is not the CONSTELLATION. Yes 2,000 years ago the SIGN and the CONSTELLATION were in the same celestial location but as you point out due to the precession at 1 degree every 72 years they no lunger match up. They will again at the end of the 26,000 year cycle. This fact is known to all competent Western astrologers. Sidereal astrology is a completely different system. I would be happy to explain further if you wish!

How do even now that starts exist far away and they are not only our perception?

It was a pleasure seeing this presentation. Naive stubborn comments explicitly prove and manifest their lack of knowledge about the crucial importance of the precession. Thanks and go on!!!

Reality check:
Astrology = The science of the stars
Astronomy = The naming of the stars
Don't believe what she preaches as she is 100% wrong and misleading. -
The major (24 degree) difference is the accuracy between astrology (tropical) and astronomy. For example, everyone made a huge fuss about the full moon in Cancer this past Christmas. But if any one would've studied the sky that night, they wouldve clearly seen the Moon was right next to Pollux, one of the twin stars in Gemini. Also, each sign does not take up 30 degrees on the ecliptic. Virgo measures 44 degrees and Scorpio measures 7 degrees.

She is a very successful astrophysicist and is contributing some hard-to-understand education to a naive world. Her hotness is great to the primitive eye, but show some respect..
Also, I was raised with astrology - my mother being a successful astrologer - and if, instead of justifying and arguing facts you may not have known about the cosmos, you take this chance to investigate the answers for yourself.. Through the only means we as a species has; measurable, predictive, evidence.. You will find truth.
Science is equally as beautiful as the supernatural. It only takes open-mindedness (see what I did there). Go read a research paper on the stars, instead of an article written by someone studying an out-dated practice ;) -
Astrology is for editorial sections of newspapers, Astronomy is for science. *End of video

Yeah-right --- click bait, essentially. Thinking that astrology is based on stars (other suns) and far away constellations is evidence of a basic ignorance of the subject. Astrology is based for measurement on the ecliptic of the sun's apparent motion in the sky (which is actually the Earth rotating around the sun).
It's arbitrary starting point for measurement is the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, mainly because astrology was developed mostly by people in the Northern Hemisphere
.
It doesn't matter that the constellations have shifted in the thousands of years that the subject of Astrology have been around. The constellations were simply a means of marking where the sun and the planets of our solar system were at on a given date.
Thinking that the "Zodiac" could encompass a 13th constellation is fallacious because all the Zodiac is, is a means for tracking where a given astronomical body is located in the 360 degrees of the sky. The Zodiac is simply 12 divisions of the sky, using due east as the starting position.
In other words, the Zodiac is a simple method for determining the longitude of an astronomical body in the sky --- where the reference point is the sun's apparent position on the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
Duh. -
Every 30 Degrees is a Sign. There are only 12 signs, 12 energies. Nomatter how the Earth wobbles, you will still be influenced by those 12 energies. Our ancestors knew this and never separated them. That's why we are so backwards.

Now I’m no Astro-physicist nor am I an astrologist yet I can’t help noticing how scientist assume they know how or why astrology uses the cosmos for their predictions. The representation of astrology today is nothing like it was in its inception. Who is to say that the sign assignment isn’t really about the observe relationship between respective constellations and earth yet instead it is about an unknown relationship that cannot be fully understood by modern man much like the theory behind anti matter or dark matter. This is a theory which is widely debated yet accepted by many physicist. Not to be condescending like most scientist but I think scientist blindly follow the religion of the infamous “ scientistic method”. If it’s not in their text book then its fantasy or fiction while the holes that exist in science is deemed acceptable because of societies opinion.

Wonderful video thank you. I think you missed a couple of important points though.
Many systems include the 13th sign. It is a slightly advanced signifier. Part of it's character is that it is subtle.
You say that the system is out of date but that is a traditional system and only one system of many. Like Karate perhaps is less effective than mixedmartialarts but still effective nonetheless. The Vedic and certain other systems are up to date. -
Eylene...get introduced to the 'Science' called Vedic Astrology, if you can find a Guru...you will be enlightened to not only know the connections between Astronomy and Astrology, but also learn about things today's scientists are still discovering and struggling to answer. Thank you for the video.

She's writing backwards.
O.O -
l think is what the peoples like some might not agree is a branch of science maybe because of hateration of jelousy
-
she is wrong cus why each sign of the zodiac have a planet!
-
And you obviously know nothing about Astrology!, But you are cute!
-
Wow, beautiful and intelligent.
