Glaucus, what's the difference and why isn't sidereal used in the mainstream? My sidereal chart is completely different. Sun is still in Cancer though, my tropical natal Sun is at 27 degrees Cancer.

I still maintain that the Moon tends to be the strongest expressed in a person.
with the constellation of Gemini, the symbolism is about the mythology of Castor and Pollux
with the sidereal and tropical zodiacs, Gemini is based on it being a mutable air sign and ruled by Mercury
Sidereal Zodiac is not used in the mainstream because Ptolemy adopted the tropical zodiac and mainstream astrologers followed him
so your Sun is in the constellation of Cancer .....cool
constellation Cancer has a different symbolism from sidereal, tropical
sidereal zodiac and tropical zodiac Cancer is based on it being a cardinal watersign ruled by the moon
constellation Cancer's symbolism is about
CANCER, THE CRAB Tropical Span: 18 degrees 28 Cancer – 16 Leo
Between the bright stars Castor & Pollux and the head of the Lion is an area so dim that Cancer the Crab was called “the dark constellation.” Without keen eyesight and a very clear starry night, nothing can be seen here at all! Nonetheless, this is a vital and powerful area. On ancient Euphratean lunar tablets this was the constellation Nagar-asurra, Babylonian-Assyrian Nangaru “The Workman-of-the-River-Bed” and was Sumerian Allab or Allul, Akkadian Allutu, “Voice-of-the-Sun-Place” (ecliptic) because in the 3rd millenium BCE our Crab was at the highest gate of the ecliptic, the Summer Solstice. The boundary-stones of the Euphratean area showed no figure of a crab, but in its place is a tortoise – both creatures are carapaced amphibians. In the center of the Crab is a famous nebulous cluster called “The Beehive.”
When Utah applied for statehood, Mormons asked that the state be called “Deseret” their word for “honeybee.” Congress chose rather to honor the Ute Indians, but in response to the Mormons’ wishes, it was called “The Beehive State.” On the day Utah entered the Union, January 4, 1896, Jupiter, trans-iting the Crab, was exactly at nebulous Praesaepe, Epsilon Cancri: “The Beehive”!
