From Robert Koch's website:
For example, suppose, according to Western astrology, your Sun sign is in Capricorn. In the Vedic system, it could be in Sagittarius. Your rising sign and the other planets might also be in unfamiliar signs. However, this does not mean that Vedic astrology is inaccurate. It simply calculates a horoscope differently. The interpretations are most often more precise than in Western astrology.
Western astrology emphasizes the psychological nature of the individual, but lacks reliability for predicting future cycles and events. Although Vedic astrology also defines a person’s psychological nature, it gives more focus to understanding when certain events are likely to take place.
Vedic astrology gives a better view of:- A person’s karmic tendencies
- When such tendencies are likely to manifest for that person.

Thanks for the reply
oh, interesting! I didn't know the exact different between the two, so thank you for explaining. In this context, Vedic astrology would be better for predicting events, so would that be for progressions in general?
Also, they described what that person would look like, how would they do this in through my chart/progressions? or would this be something to take with a pinch of salt?
Thank you!
