In Western astrology, the Zodiac signs are observed based on season, while Vedic astrology analyses them based on actual constellations present in the sky
The major difference between Vedic and western astrology is that the westerner astrology calculates the position of heavenly bodies from a fixed point whereas the Vedic system calculates on the basis of variable point. At present, the western system differs from the Vedic system by 23 degrees.

Western astrology puts more emphasis on the position of the Sun within a specific Zodiac sign, as opposed to Vedic astrology, which places more emphasis on the position of the Moon in a sign with the Ascendant (Lagna).
