What is Nuastro?
Nuastro is an astronomically accurate astrology blog. The dates have been chosen by the correct constellation boundaries, due to which it has an unusual layout on the birth chart.
Does Nuastro have an app?
The Nuastro app is in the works and will be published soon. It will include both major astrologies and the Nuastro astrology as well.
Why did my zodiac sign change?
Most people find their sign moves back by about 24 degrees (roughly one full sign) when using Nuastro. This is due to the precession of the equinoxes, a 2,000-year “wobble” of the Earth’s axis that has shifted the alignment of the constellations relative to our calendar. Nuastro corrects this shift to match the observable sky.
Is Nuastro the same as Vedic (sidereal) astrology?
Not exactly. While both use a sidereal (star-based) system, most Vedic systems still use “even” 30-degree blocks for each sign. Nuastro uses astronomical astrology, which accounts for the actual, uneven constellation boundaries as defined by modern astronomy. It is the most accurate astrology system for those who want their chart to match the physical sky.
What is the 13th sign, and why do you call it Serpentius, not Ophiuchus?
In real sky astrology, we cannot ignore the physical reality of the heavens. The Sun passes through a 13th constellation every year between November 30th and December 18th. While others may call it Ophiuchus, at Nuastro, we refer to this powerful alignment also as Serpentius. While traditional systems ignore it to keep a “neat” 12-sign wheel, we embrace Serpentius to maintain celestial accuracy. If the Sun was physically in this constellation when you were born, our system reflects that truth.
Why is astrology inaccurate according to many scientists?
The primary scientific critique is that “signs” no longer align with the “stars.” By using real sky alignment, Nuastro answers this critique directly. We use the same real-time planetary positions and data used by NASA, ensuring your chart is a mathematically sound map of the actual heavens.
Does this mean my old “Tropical” chart was wrong?
Tropical astrology is a seasonal symbolic system; it functions like a “sky calendar” based on the equinoxes. However, if you are looking for an accurate astrology based on the actual electromagnetic and gravitational backdrop of the stars, Nuastro provides the physical reality of the visible sky.
How do I find my real sky alignment?
You can use our astronomical zodiac calculator. Simply enter your birth date, time, and location, and our algorithm will calculate the precession shift and place your planets in their true stellar positions.
