Hi,
Please correct me if I have misunderstood the concept, I have read people talking about the cusps of Whole Sign Houses being at the point in the sign where the ascendant is rather than the edges between the houses. These cusps are apparently thought of not as boundaries between different house or sign energies but as the point at which the house is most sensitive to influence.
For example;
Say my ascendant is at 10 Degrees Aries. If I have say, Mercury at 10 Degrees Virgo and Venus at 25 Degrees Virgo then Mercury will have a very strong influence over the 6th house and Venus a weaker one.
Am I correct in thinking that this is how cusps are considered in the Whole Sign System? (in general, or is it just a minority of the people using the cusps in the Whole Sign system?)
In addition, this also seems to create the interesting factor that any planet on the cusp would also be likely (2 in 3 chance) to aspect the ascendant. Of course it's the same with the Equal House system except in that case anything aspecting the ascendant would also be between two houses, which doesn't really make sense to me...
