orbit of the Earth around the Sun, the Sidereal Zodiac is based upon the motion of the Sun

(or the Earth) through the heavens. He also states that the movement of the Sun through twelve signs of the Zodiac is a solar, or tropical, year. In respect to his thoughts on the Gita, Sri Yuktesvar seems to favor the Tropical Zodiac, though it must be remarked, that this is not in the context of erecting horoscopes. Sri Yuktesvar does state that the 12 places of power of the Earths orbit around the Sun and the stars corresponding in those places have been called Aries, etc. by the astrological scholars. And so they have, the ancient constellations have been enlarged to the larger constellations, such as Asvini and Bharani being labeled now as part of Aries. RASIS AND THEIR NAMES Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra states that the Rasis are the unconscious manifestations of Vishnu:

The imperceptible Vishnu, Janardana, is the Figure of Time whose limbs become unconscious as the Rasis beginning from the Ram.
Earlier Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra had declared the planets to also be manifestations of Vishnu, though manifestations possessing consciousness. The Nakshatras, which are all deified, are also thought to possess consciousness, which is why they are deified. In fact, planets are also deified for the same reason; they are thought to have consciousness. Both Planets and Nakshatras move through the heavens, the realm of the deities. The Rasis, are not deified, they are unconscious and named after basic earthly creatures, not after deities. So it would not appear logical to consider the Rasis in respect to stars or to the heavens, but to Earth. The Tropical Zodiac considers Rasis in respect to the relationship of the Earth in its orientation to the Sun, they are very Earth based and so they are logically named after creatures of the Earth.
