Unlocking the Secrets: Western vs. Chinese Astrology

Chilean Astrologer Explains Differences Between Western and Chinese Astrology A recent interview on Radio Hoy's "El Magazine De Lo Invisible" shed light on the differences between Western and Chinese astrology. Ángeles Lasso, a Chilean astrologer and author, explained the core distinction: Western astrology is based on the sun's movement, while Chinese astrology uses the moon. "Western astrology is based on the movements of the sun," Lasso stated, "while the Chinese or Oriental astrology is based on the movements of the moon." This fundamental difference leads to a significant variation in the number of signs; Western astrology has 12, while Chinese astrology boasts 144, due to the moon's longer orbital period. The interview highlighted the unique perspective offered by Chinese astrology and its 144 sign combinations, generating interest in this lesser-known system. Lasso's expertise provided a credible and engaging discussion, making the topic accessible to a broader audience.
