The Tropical Zodiac is based on the Sun' postition at the spring equinox, whereas the sidereal zodiac is based on reference to the stars. Now, about 2000 years ago, the sidereal and tropical zodiacs coincided. A mistake was made, and the names of the constellations got attached to a zodiac starting at the vernal equinox... This is of course the reason for the "age of Aquarius" AQuarius will now be the constellation the Sun enters at the vernal equinox in a couple of 100 years or so. You can get a free sidereal chart at www.astro.com, but no intrepretation... go to extended chart selection. Don't recall the URL's but a web search for "Western Sidereal Astrology " should give you some info. Ernst
