How To View Natal Chart In Whole Signs, Alacabitius, Placidus & Other House Systems
Many times on threads too numerous to mention, the question of alternative house systems is raised so I have opened this thread to illustrate for those who are unaware of that fact, that it is possible to create a natal chart using more than one house system
QUOTE:
“In no other area of astrology is there so much mess and confusion than in the area of the so-called 'houses'.
There are at least twenty or thirty different house systems or means of dividing the so-called 'birth chart' into twelve segments of life activity"
To verify for yourself that the house location of any planet is entirely dependent on the house system chosen:
if on astro.com one chooses 'Extended Chart Selection' page,
then clicking on where it says 'house systems' offers a drop down menu of fourteen different house systems to choose from
– Placidus is just the default
For example, selecting 'whole signs' and clicking on 'view natal chart' displays a natal chart using whole signs. Notice that one whole sign = one whole house. Whole signs is the original house system as explained at http://www.librarising.com/astrology/misc/wholesignhouses.html
"The more commonly known house systems are:
Whole signs(oldest)
Equal House(1st century BC)
Porphyry(3rd century AD)
Alcabitus(6th century)
Campanus(13th century)
Regiomantus(14th century)
Placidus(17th century)
Koch(20th century)
Others include:
Meridian(Midheaven), Topocentric, Morinus, Horizontal, Geodetic, Zodiacal, Svarogish, Krusinski, and so on”
“....In astrology, houses, mansions, or domains, are supposed to represent general areas of life activity.
They are the grounding areas or arenas of expression for the planets.
There are generally twelve houses, although in extreme northern or southern latitudes there can be ten, depending on the house system used”
