Hi I understand it has taken me sometime to explore this sidereal astrology, but once I found out the philosophy behind it, it seemed to make some sense.So I looked at my chart recently and it's making more sense than my western chart. The houses are the same and the aspects but almost everything else has changed signs.. arrhh But I love the change. How do you all feel about your sidereal vs Western natal?, have you checked it out? What do you think about the changes? make more sense?

There is always debate over what astrological houses indicate the sexuality.
The purpose of my post is not to discredit ANY house as "sexual", because I fully agree there are different ways to indicate romantic or sexual attrraction. However, one house whcih seems obviously connected to sexual satisfaction but never get any attention is the 6th. The sixth house has to do with internal health, physical and mental habits, labor, SKILLS, applied knowledge, work-environment...and details. These things have such an OBVIOUSLY important role in having a healthy, fulfilling sex-life. Sometimes there are other things which are important: Appearance. Gestures. Passion. Sexual psychology. Etcetera.
The opposite of the 6th is the 12th House. Here is where empathy comes forth as another extremely important ingredient in satisfying and being satisfied sexually. The 6th and 12th houses are almost never talked about or introduced by astrologers when they address a person's sexuality. It seems almost ludicrous that they get so overlooked.
I have to say, I have had fairly good luck attracting compatible partners throughout my life. When I say "compatible", I mean that personal goals or ideals are satisfied or addressed by having contact with a certain person which results in romantic attraction: People meet, they come together, they begin to interact and stimulate and learn about each other...and eventually they get closer. As people get closer, they often experience subtle or slight dissatisfactions amidst the satisfactions. Often you can only measure dissatisfaction by contrasting it with the level of satisfaction you have experienced over time. Thus, people often periodically size up a relationship which has been in progress for some time. It begins to get down to the nitty-gritty buts & bolts, and it becomes time to talk things over with your partner seriously...with no romantic lines, no dramatic display of passion, and no B.S.. It boils down to: "How can we serve each other better?"
The 6th and 12th House show two sides of the concept of "service". The 12th is about empathy and understanding. How much do you really care about and understand the person you are attracted to? And in the 6th House we set about making the neccessary adjustments and attention to detail which is neccesary to express that empathy and truly CARE for that person. This is where learn to put the seat down when we are done in the bathroom, where we wipe our feet and make an effort to stifle our bad habits. It is also where we look for a better sexual position so our partner can have a better orgasm, and we take the time to make sure our partner's needs are met.
It seems to me that the 6th/12th axis is where we graduate from the simple state of being "in love" and we move into the more serious art of loving.

I'd love to see other's understandings and insights into aspects. Or strong & hard to understand placements- like moon in the 12th or something. Something you feel you really understand. If there are other influences please mention them.
In your own words please...
For a start I'm going to cross post something I wrote on another thread about sun trine moon. I also have jupiter/moon/pluto tying into that aspect, but I think below is what sun trine moon gives. Including the "questioning your motives" part. You'll have to put it in context, I'm too lazy to rewrite it.
"The other closest aspect I have I've known very well I think since I was born. Way before I ever saw anything on astrology. I have sun trine moon; 26 aris and 27.25 sag. Sun in the first house. I feel I was born knowing who I was both in this lifetime and lifetimes past. The distinct secure feelings of that. I have doubts and insecurities about just about everything except myself. I may not always know *where* I am but know *who* I am.
Unless there are also some hard neptune aspects, that trine makes you much less suceptable to mind games. Especially the ones where people try to make you question your sanity or motives or reality. Or try to tell you how you feel. It's a very good aspect for a girl or woman to have as it's common for people to use those particular mind games to invalidate a woman they feel threatened by or are competitive with. Hopefully that will change some in your daughter's generation.
& unless she has a 12th house moon she'll probley be very concious about how she feels about anything. Even if it takes a little while to define complex mixed feelings- she'll sort them out and be aware of what they are. Sounds simple to me, but I guess many people have difficulties with that. Doing that gives one a clear concious background for making choices- good or bad. & that sort of predisposes someone to take responsibility for those choices. "
