No it's YOU who doesn't get it. Certainly the sun is the

But horoscopes use other stars in the galaxy that are assumed
(wrongly) to rotate around us too. They call them constellations.
They do visually. It's called the ecliptic. Geez, this is basic
grade school science class astronomy.
Don't get too clever, it isn't me claiming that having Mars in
front of a particular constellations mean I'm going to be musical
or sporty or whatever bollocks school of astrology you belong to
claims. I'm just pointing out that the way a chart is drawn is
wrong as far as the reality of the galaxy is concerned.
No it isn't. If you ever get a clear sky at night and Mars is available
for viewing notice what constellation it is in front of. If it the chart
is wrong then it must be tropical which doesn't take into account the
precession of the equinox. Again you may be confused between tropical
and sidereal astrology. Jyotish is the latter.
To answer your - also inaccurate - point below, the people who
invented astrology DID think the Earth was the centre of the
universe and everything went round it. They had no idea it was
otherwise.
Yes, it is based of visual observation. Likewise the astronomy which
was developed for astrology first was then later used for ship
navigation which also depended on visual observations. Worked didn't it?
