Ah, yes. Sex and sexuality. The 5th house is romance, courting and illicit love affairs. But "raw sex" and the sexuality behind it belong to the 8th. Sexual orgasm is called "the little death" in some languages. It is a deep, powerful and often transforming sort of experience; (assuming at least an approach to the ideal, or perfection,) it takes you momentarily out of yourself and into a sort of union with the "beyond the self."

If you want to know about someone's sexual inclinations, you look to the 8th and its lord, among other things.

John F. Kennedy had the sign of Taurus, ruled by Venus, on his 8th cusp. Clustered right at that cusp were Mars, Jupiter and Mercury. Mercury rules Gemini, and Venus is found in Gemini...so Mercury rules Venus, and Venus rules Mercury. Gemini is a dual sign, and with Venus the ruler of sex in that sign, we conclude "multiple affairs"; because Mercury is closely conjunct Jupiter, which Expands what it touches, this multiplicity becomes Legendary in proportion. Mars brings an animal-like physicality to sex, direct and simple, and this planet also adds the love of conquest and adventure. Gemini contributes to the dry, impersonal tone of Kennedy's sexuality. According to several of his partners, he was very detached. There are other things in a chart that must be examined, but that is sort of how it works.

Whether you are a Don Juan like Kennedy, a gay man or lesbian, a frigid old spinster, or whatever -- sexually...is determined at your birth and is visible in the horoscope. We are born what we are, and choice is not an issue. Knowing this, we might learn a little tolerance for the quirks we see in others.
