First: i would like to know why you ask?
Second: The sidereal chart puts back the position of the chart about 22 degress. It does not effect aspects differently between the planets. i have noticed that things really do happen when the 5 degress of Gemini is hit on my tropical ascendent. Now to think that i am Taurus rising. i have a hard time seeing it. Given the amount of communication i do and the versitility and double personality elmement; i fit much better under Gemini rising. i also notice things happening at the midheaven nadir and desendent using the tropical chart. The sidereal chart is very effective when measuring the procession of the equinoxes but this is a galactic occurance based on the whole solar system and it's movement through a section of the galaxy.

It seems to me that on a personal level the tropical zodiac appeals to me. If someone can make a good case for the sidereal chart it would be interesting to me. However, i try to avoid the discrepences associated with the signs and the two systems by using something that is common to both of them. That would be transits to the planets and aspects in the natal chart.  Using vedic astrology is another approach that uses the sidereal system but there is also a lot more involved. If someone had time for both of them i think they could use elements of both. i have given quite lot of thought to this but first i would like to know how much energy you are willing to give to the subject...

Sincerely
