Without questioning your reasons for this, 8th would be the house dealing with conjugal bliss literally speaking and 2nd and 11th for astrological leanings!

Mind you, though, that both of these, namely sex and astrology, captured so easily in two words are rather complex and pervasive matters and understandably may not be entirely confined to just two houses or two planets.

Both sex and astrology have many many manifestations and nuances and associated attributes so while the primary houses would help launch the exploration, please be prepared to include modifying influences which may add light to what you see!

[quote="Sei no Senshi"][b][color=orange]In another forum I frequent, there is a debate going on about what houses sex and astrology belong to.

Personally, I feel the Fifth house is that of sex and the Ninth is that of astrology.  This is verified by countless Traditional Western astrology sources, while the Modern system seems to believe that astrology is either an Eleventh or Eighth house (they aren't sure... :smt012) and that sex belongs to the Eighth.

I wanted a Vedic perspective on this.  So, which houses - Vedically - reflect sex and astrology.[/b][/color][/quote]

What makes you think that any form of astrology is 'reason' based? As opposed to based on axiomatic observations empirically [observed] and the correlations and associations then became the rules that we call today as 'reasons' underlying astrology!

Why should mars rule aries? What is the reason behind that? And more disturbingly, why does the same mars (there is only ONE in the sky) rule over the sidereal aries as well as the tropical aries, which are two different signs when mapped in the skies above with a small overlap that is becoming even smaller as each day progresses!

[quote="Sei no Senshi"][b][color=orange]Awesome, thanks.

May I ask as to the Vedic reasonings behind these house associations?

Quite different they are, they are.[/b][/color][/quote]
