Here is some info:

I have to run, but I'm interested in seeing what other people think of their "new" chart.

In sidereal, I'm a Pisces with an Aquarius Moon and Cancer rising. I can't say that I can identify with that sidereal Aquarius Moon because my tropical Pisces Moon fits my emotional nature to a T. However, the fact that I'm a Pisces in the sidereal zodiac may make sense because I find myself quite shy and retiring for a typical (tropical) Aries. I'm into poetry and writing and all that Pisces/Neptune stuff.

A sidereal Cancer Ascendant may work for me, too, since I'm quite on the overweight side. My tropical Leo Ascendant doesn't really show too much, except maybe for my long hair and my penchant for the theater.

I guess, the more we know our charts, the more room there is for us to expand our definition of ourselves. We become more flexible in our self-perception. We're used to the tropical zodiac, yes, but I think that the sidereal zodiac is valid, too. Traditionally, Vedic astrology which uses the sidereal zodiac has a longer extant history than Western/tropical astrology.

But what do you think about your own sidereal placements? Did it require you to reframe your view of yourself?

Actually, I haven't had time to read the placements yet, but I will be doing so now. I will let you know what I discover.

I can see the aries ascendant a bit, because I'm a bit fiery, but I have a lot of tropical planets in sagittarius, so that's iffy. Besides, I really feel like my Taurus ascendant. I don't look llike a taurus, but I act and feel like one. Also, people have guessed my sign to be taurus pretty often.

I can relate to sun in capricorn, because I'm structured and can be pessimistic, as well as other saturn-type traits. But, I do have aquarian aspects that I can't deny. I look like an aqua and I think a lot like an aqua. I have a strong saturn in my natal chart, too, so that accounts for some of the saturn-like traits I have as well.

I have to look up all the many scorpio planets. I have moon, venus, mars, neptune and Jupiter in scorpio in the sidereal chart.

From what I've written above regarding how I feel about the sidereal Sun and Ascendant, I feel like I will see some things I can identify with, but I won't change my opinion much about my natal chart. I feel like it's akin to an onion and this is one more layer of that onion. It will give more depth to my natal chart.

I DO like what you said about it having a long history. Maybe that's my saturn talking, but it intrigues me.

I can't wait to know more.

Spill, please.

Sidereal Sun in Scorpio
Sidereal Moon in Cancer
Sidereal Ascendant in Pisces

In my tropical chart I have a Sagittarius Sun, Leo Moon and Pisces Ascendant (which is the only placement that doesn't change in my sidereal chart). My sidereal chart is very watery (lots of placements in Scorpio) while my tropical chart is very fiery (lots of Sagittarius). I can relate to my sidereal placements to some extent. My strong emphasis on Sagittarius and my Leo Moon in my tropical chart would suggest that I am a very outgoing, confident person ... and I'm not like that at all.

I have the love of foreign things that is typically associated with Sagittarius, but I don't have the extroverted nature. Also, people tend to say that when they met me for the first time I appeared very reserved and a little bit intimidating (which sounds like Scorpio). But I have my tropical Sun in my 8th house which might also be responsible for the Scorpio traits.

My tropical Moon in Leo makes sense because I have a tendency for drama and I need attention. But my sidereal Moon in Cancer makes just as much sense, since I am very sensitive and moody. I am also very attached to my family, particularly to my mom (which is also a Cancer trait, I think).

My Ascendant in Pisces doesn't change in my sidereal chart. I definitely can relate to the Pisces qualities.

My sidereal Mercury is in Scorpio (tropical in Sagittarius). I definitely relate more to Mercury in Sagittarius as I tend to be blunt in my speech and love foreign languages.

I have...
Sun - 23 Scorpio
Moon - 29 Cancer
Asc - 11 Libra

It's funny b/c years ago when I first read about Asc's, I thought I was a Libra Asc. It sounded more like me than the Scorpio description. My Scorpio traits I thought I could attribute to my Scorpio Mercury and Uranus conjunction. But now I identify more with my Scorpio Asc. I don't feel Scorpio enough for it to be my Sun sign though. I'm definitely a Sag with a strong Scorpio influence. Moon, I feel much more like my tropical sign--Leo--than Cancer, but descriptions I've read for Cancer/Leo cusp sound similar to me. Overall, I definitely relate much more to my tropical stats. The only exception is the Asc, which I think could go either way, but maybe that's b/c tropically I have my chart ruler in Libra.

Please do!

I read about the scorpio placements. I can relate to them, but I have my tropical moon and venus in the eighth house, so...

Basically, it changed all of my sagittarius placements to scorpio. And even my other three planets that were converted to scorpio are on my descendant, which happens to be scorpio. I can identify with both signs, but I can't discount the sagittarius qualities I have, like: Loving travel, being outdoorsy, loving sports and having to exercise to be happy, being philosphical, honest, wanting justice - the list could go on.

As for the scorpio traits, I can identify with being able to read people really well, always investigating, looking deeper into things, being very intuitive and making decisions based on instinct. I also either love or hate something, and can be very black and white oriented. I have strong emotions and am very guarded and reserved. I never reveal too much. I am usually probing the other person - even if I seem to be not paying attention - sometimes that's my MO. I'm always paying attention. I love to figure out what makes people tick, just for the hell of it.

So, all in all, they both make sense. It's like a blending of me - I, like most people, am complex. It really would take more than one chart to define me.

Mercury changed too aries which i guess i can relate too cause when i cuss someone out im very forceful and blunt. i have mercury in taurus i can also relate to that as well i like to keep quite and think of a good thing to say i like to think before i speak as well.

venus is in pisces which i relate to but i also relate to my venus in aries i would say im sensitive and moody but i also have a mars in pisces so either way theirs alot of emotions and moodiness going around with me. the chase is what im most good at with venus in aries and i can be aggressive when approaching someone but then hide or avert my eyes and act mysterious which is where my sidereal venus comes into play or it could just be the mars in pisces.

i have mars in aquarius in my sidereal chart and i think it rings true more then my mars in pisces. i am not the touchy feely type and i do love freedom and space and as wel as giving other people space too. i cant tell you how many times this has ****** people off.i also have moon in aquarius in my sidereal chart so its mars and moon in aquarius which makes sense.

i find that my north node in aquarius rings more true then my sidereal one in capricorn.

sun taurus
moon aquarius
venus pisces/aries
mars aquarius
N node aquarius

I think that Western Sidereal Zodiac fits me way better than Tropical Zodiac.

I do still have quite a few scorpio mannerisms,but I also still have a lot of scorpio influence... I tend to want to keep the peace, unless it's something I feel really strongly about, most of the time I figure it's not worth the fight.
