Hi i'm having trouble understanding which one is right between natal astrology and vedic astrology
In natal astrology i am a capricorn with aries moon
but in vedic astrology i am a sag with pisces moon
which makes a lot of sense because i'm a sensitive (overly) person
can someone help clarify for me?

DIFFERENCE BETWEEEN VEDIC AND WESTERN ASTROLOGY
The most easily referred to difference between the two lies in the method of measurement of the Zodiac. Vedic astrology uses primarily the sidereal zodiac (in which stars are considered to be the fixed background against which the motion of the planets is measured), whereas most Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac (the motion of the planets is measured against the position of the Sun on the Spring equinox). This difference becomes only noticeable over time, after the course of several centuries, as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. Synchronically, the two systems are identical, with just a shift of the origin of the ecliptic longitude by about 22 degrees or days, resulting on the placement of planets in the previous sign in Western charts about 80% of the time.
