Some clarifying information about the difference between Tropical (Western astrology) and Sidereal (True Sky Astrology):

Tropical vs. Sidereal astrology refers to two different zodiac systems used in astrology. Both divide the sky into twelve equal parts (the zodiac signs), but they differ in how they define the starting point of Aries and thus where the signs fall.

                                              Tropical                                                           Sidereal                             
| --------------------- | -----------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------ 
Focus                     | Inner world, psyche, psychological cycles | Cosmic reality, soul’s karma, dharma
Zodiac origin        | Earth-based (seasonal)                                   | Sky-based (constellation)            
Time orientation | Symbolic, archetypal time                             | Fixed, astronomical time            
Popular usage     | Modern psychology, archetypal work         | Karma, destiny, soul purpose    
 

Result: Most people's sidereal Sun sign is one sign earlier than their tropical Sun sign.

Which is “correct”?

That depends on your worldview and goals.

• If you're focused on inner growth, transformation, and psychological insight, tropical often resonates more.

• If you're focused on fate, karma, dharma, and soul contracts, sidereal (especially Jyotish) may feel more accurate.

Many astrologers use both systems in complementary ways, much like looking at a mountain from two different angles.

How does this affect the Gene keys profiles?

 The Gene Keys profile, like the Human Design chart, is based on your birth time and planetary positions, which are traditionally calculated using the Tropical zodiac. Here's how the Sidereal vs. Tropical debate affects your Gene Keys profile:

🌌 Gene Keys Profiles Use Tropical Astrology by Default

• Richard Rudd’s Gene Keys system is built upon Human Design, which in turn derives its planetary calculations from Tropical astrology (not Sidereal).

• Your Hologenetic Profile (Life's Work, Evolution, etc.) reflects the Tropical placement of your planets — meaning your Sun, Earth, Venus, etc. are read from their positions in the Tropical zodiac at your birth time.

🌌 If You Use Sidereal Positions, Your Gene Keys Change

If you recalculate your planetary positions using Sidereal astrology, your Gene Keys profile would shift — sometimes dramatically.

For example:

• Tropical Sun at 6° Taurus → Gene Key 2

• Sidereal Sun at 11° Aries → Gene Key 42

That’s a complete change of archetypal flavor:

• From Gene Key 2: Receptivity – Orientation – Unity

• To Gene Key 42: Expectation – Detachment – Celebration

👉 So depending on which zodiac you use, you might identify with completely different shadows, gifts, and siddhis.
