Not exactly retinoid, dr. farr is not advocating the equal house system at all! Read the post carefully.So then dr farr is advocating the equal house system since that is exactly what the equal house system is...In the equal my mars is in the 5th house (not the sixth house) and my uranus is conjunct moon and venus in the 7th house and not the 8th house.

"But now notice this: in whole sign the cusps are NOT the 0 degree 'borders' of sign/houses at all, and never were so regarded!"
(a) The BORDERS OF WHOLE SIGN HOUSES ARE ALL AT 0[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]º
(b) AND IN ADDITION, [/FONT]whole sign houses have sensitive points that seem very similar to Equal house BUT those sensitive points are CONTAINED WITHIN each whole sign house.
dr. farr says (quote)
"In whole sign, the 'cusp' retained its original meaning, not as a 'border' but rather as A POINT"
so, using whole sign as originally used, then THE ASCENDANT DEGREE IS THE SENSITIVE DEGREE/CUSP THAT IS CONTAINED WITHIN each whole sign house BUT the border of each house is 0[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]º of each house[/FONT] - that is why it is the whole sign house system because each complete sign IS a whole house
whole sign house system as originally used included a kind of "equal house" idea BUT CONTAINED WITHIN whole/complete/entire signs
ie in whole signs
(a) each house is a sign
(b) each house has a sensitive point/cusp within it that is the same degree as the ascendant
Great idea MoogI think some images would help illustrate that idea, and better show the differences between whole/equal. I might make some.
