Actually, it makes a lot of sense.
Let's say that, using Equal House, a person has planet X in the 11th house. Planet X is yellow, the house is blue, so planet X takes on a 'greeny' tinge when dealing with the realm of life that the sign on the 11th house cusp implies. Yet planet X is ruler of the 2nd house. So, would the 'greeny' tinge that occurs through the 11th house say anything about the values/self worth the person experiences of and in the 11th house realm?
Yet, using another house system which provides different house cusps, planet X is still in the blue house, but it is not ruler of the 2nd house but of the 1st or 3rd house. It's these house realms that will be influential in dealing with 11th house circumstances. So, would being a member of an 11th house green gang give him/her (X, ruler 1st house) personal importance, whilst the 3rd house influence could be suggestive of joining the 11th house green gang in order to teach/learn (from) them?
This is the method I was taught years before Bernadette Brady explained the same system (with diagrams) in her book, 'The Eagle and the Lark' a.k.a 'Predictive Astrology'.
Thanks, I see exactly where you are coming from, due to intercepted signs/houses with placidus. Yes, technically I agree,but most beginners (usually) cannot even make this house connection from planet to house -- let alone understand that connection, cos it takes a 'lot' of objectivity and self analysis. Having said this I have proved time and again the validity of Equal in my own chart using Equal
Well....considering I was only ever taught the use of Equal House system by one Faculty????? But that which came after 'although' was my own deduction. Gosh I quite agree, I'm qualified to teach in Adult Educ and have written my own beginners Diploma and lecture publicly....
I guess that's a question of personal perspective for those who work with Equal House, especially if one is more 'conscious-raising' inclined.
I'm not 'knocking' usage of Equal House, which I have come to understand is your personal preference; just mentioning to those new to astrology how different techniques can be tested without prejudice to find their own personal preference.
