video: Tropical vs. Sidereal
Dear Prabhus, Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Concerning <http://harekrsna.com/sun/
My own experience with astrology also indicates that Western tropical astrology is superior. For example, if a child is conceived when the moon is in a male sign (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) then that child will be a boy. If the child is conceived when the moon is in a female sign (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces), then the child will be a girl. My experience is that this always holds true, and it serves as a very powerful tool for controlling the sex of our future children. But this only works using Western astrology, not the Hindu astrology being practiced by the ISKCON astrologers.

This argument makes very little sense to me. You say that if one is born in a female sign like Pisces, they will be female. I am a male, and my moon is in Pisces. So?
Pisces guy says: This argument makes very little sense to me. You say that if one is born in a female sign like Pisces, they will be female. I am a male, and my moon is in Pisces. So?
Are you getting your natal (birth) sun sign confused with your natal moon sign? The sun sign changes approximately every 30 days. The moon sign changes approximately every 2 1/3 days. There’s only one chance in 12 that your natal sun sign and your natal moon sign are the same. In any case, your natal sun/moon sign has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not you were born a boy or a girl.
Do you know what “conceived” means? Normally, for human beings, conception happens approximately 9 months (approximately 10 lunar months) before birth.
Here is the rule:
The above rule only works with Western (Tropical) astrology, and it has nothing to do with what sign the sun or the moon is in when the baby is born.
Note: child birth is described below as per Srimad Bhagavatam:
SB 3.23.11 P Devahuti’ s Lamentation
The Vedic literatures are not only full of spiritual instruction but are also instructive in how to prosecute material existence very nicely, with the ultimate aim of spiritual perfection. Devahuti asked her husband, therefore, how to prepare herself for sex life according to the Vedic instructions. Sex life is especially meant for having good children. The circumstances for creating good children are mentioned in kama-sastra, the scripture in which suitable arrangements are prescribed for factually glorious sex life. Everything needed is mentioned in the scriptures–what sort of house and decorations there should be, what sort of dress the wife should have, how she should be decorated with ointments, scents and other attractive features, etc. With these requisites fulfilled, the husband will be attracted by her beauty, and a favorable mental situation will be created. The mental situation at the time of sex life may then be transferred into the womb of the wife, and good children can come out of that pregnancy. Here is a special reference to Devahuti’s bodily features. Because she had become skinny, she feared that her body might have no attraction for Kardama. She wanted to be instructed how to improve her bodily condition in order to attract her husband. Sexual intercourse in which the husband is attracted to the wife is sure to produce a male child, but sexual intercourse based on attraction of the wife for the husband may produce a girl. That is mentioned in the Ayur-veda. When the passion of the woman is greater, there is a chance of a girl’s being born. When the passion of the man is greater, then there is the possibility of a son. Devahuti wanted the passion of her husband to be increased by the arrangement mentioned in the kama-sastra. She wanted him to instruct her in that way, and she also requested that he arrange for a suitable house because the hermitage in which Kardama Muni was living was very simple and completely in the mode of goodness, and there was less possibility of passion’s being aroused in his heart.
SB 3.31.4 P Lord Kapila’ s Instructions on the Movements of the Living Entities
When the body of the child is completely formed at the end of six months, the child, if he is male, begins to move on the right side, and if female, she tries to move on the left side.
