Summary:  We study the index theory for actions of compact Lie groups on $C^*$-algebras with an emphasis on principal actions. Given an invariant semifinite faithful trace on the $C^*$-algebra we get semifinite spectral triples. For circle actions we consider the relation to the dual Pimsner--Voiculescu sequence. On the way we show that the notions `saturated'' and `principal'' are equivalent for actions by compact Lie groups.
