Printed date ranges are an approximation of a moving boundary. If your birthday falls near the edge, the year you were born decides your sign — and a table cannot tell you which.
Venus governs what you are drawn to; Mars governs how you pursue it. Neither follows from your Sun sign, and knowing both explains more about attraction than any compatibility table.
Retrograde motion is a real and precisely predictable optical effect. What it is not is a planet reversing direction. Here is the mechanism, the schedule, and the honest version of what the tradition claims.
Signs describe how something operates; houses describe where it happens. Once that distinction is clear, most of the confusion around chart reading disappears.
Three separate traditions assign stones to people, and they routinely disagree. Knowing which list you are reading explains why two sources give you different answers for the same birthday.
