What does Saturn in Pisces (third house) mean? Is it a good or bad placement? How good/bad is it? I also heard that Saturn sign can indicate what kind of person gives you misfortune/bad luck, is this true? For example, I have Saturn in Pisces (third house), does this mean that Pisces people brings me misfortune/bad luck to my life?

Here's my birth chart.
next step is learning that there are more than thirty different house systems
and Placidus is simply the default
Placidus places natal Saturn of this chart in 3rd House
HOWEVER
Whole Sign Houses places natal Saturn in 4th House

basically

WHOLE SIGN HOUSES clearly determines TOPICS
and eliminates ambiguity of HOUSE location of PLANET :smile:

and then
any quadrant house system
such as Placidus, Alcabitius et al
assists with determining PLANETARY STRENGTH


tsmalls comment at http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum...ad.php?t=94683
explains the rationale


I use both whole signs and Placidus.
The original idea of quadrant based house systems was to determine angularity,
and never to replace the concept of topics.
So I count signs for topics
and use a house system overlaid onto it.

Because, as I mentioned above, capability
and angularity/ability to act
are two different things.....
tsmall uses BOTH whole signs AND Placidus

I use BOTH whole signs AND Alcabitius
some use whole sign AND Regiomontanus
there are multiple QUADRANT house systems
its a matter of personal choice which to use in tandem with WHOLE SIGN
IF one chooses to do so

Yes, the dominant house system in Greco-Roman astrology
(until about the time of the end of the Classical Period) was whole sign,
but (among the famous very early Arabic astrologers of the transitional period)
only Abu'Mashar continued the ancient Greco-Roman practice,
and the whole sign house format became virtually forgotten (in the West)
until the mid-1990's.

Personally I think it was an historical tragedy for our astrological art
that whole sign houses became lost to memory,
for my experience
over the past nearly 20 years of exclusively using whole sign houses
has convinced me
of the more consistent accuracy of this house system, over any other...
