Why the labels differ
Western sun signs use tropical solar months. Vedic Moon uses sidereal astronomy. Chinese and Tibetan year animals switch at festival dates, not January 1. Mayan day-signs use a 260-day sacred count. Celtic trees split the solar year. Akan names follow weekday rhythm.
None of these contradicts the others - they are different questions asked of the same birthday. For full daily readings with consensus and divergence, use the multi-tradition reader.
