They are 'intercepted' within the 5th and 11th houses. Read more about intercepted signs. Notes and Links Empty house? There is no such thing as an empty house. Even a house that has no planets in it will have a sign on the cusp, the sign that rules that house. The sign will have one or two ruling planets linked to it, and they also hold sway there. Then there are the transits that are daily, monthly and yearly traveling through the house. Also when we form relationships of all kinds, those other people will have planets that fall into our supposedly 'empty' house. Bottom line: there is no such thing as an empty house! Key words for the houses. Key words for the signs. More on Astro-LOA.

Planets 2. Signs of the zodiac 3. Aspects 4. Twelve houses • Part synthesis of earlier traditions, part new innovation.

The Differences Between Western & Vedic Astrology Dr Anil Kumar Porwal
The Differences between Western & Vedic Astrology Dr Anil Kumar Porwal Zodiac The most foundational difference between Western and Vedic astrology is each system's choice of Zodiac. Western astrologers use the Tropical Zodiac, where the beginnings of the twelve signs are determined by the Sun's apparent orbit around the Earth, i.e. the onset of the four seasons, i.e. when the Sun crosses the Equator (going North at Spring which defines Aries and South in the Fall indicating the beginning of Libra) and its uppermost and lowest points (the Summer and Winter Solstices). Vedic astrologers, on the other hand, use the Sidereal Zodiac, which is based upon the physical positions of the constellations in the sky. They choose a starting point (most commonly the place in the sky opposite to Spica) for the beginning of Aries, and proceed in equal 30 degree segments for subsequent signs. While planets in signs are used extensively in Western astrology as the major definer of the expression of a planet, Vedic astrology uses signs differently, and reviewed in my article The Vedic Signs at: http://www.learnastrologyfree.com/vedicsigns.htm House System In addition, most modern Western astrologers use one of the many house systems that places the degree of the Ascendant as the beginning of the First House, with either unequally- or equally-sized houses. Vedic astrologers, by and large, use Whole Sign Houses, where the Ascendant can fall anywhere in the First House, and each house comprises all of one sign. Many also use Bhava/Shri Pati houses for a portion of their work.

For the purposes of this publication there have been considerable revision and enlargement. First of all there have been some discoveries. In the original articles I stated that there was only one unambiguous reference to anything other than the system of houses presented here, and that was in the writings of Julius Firmicus Maternus (see page 14). According to the existing translation he appears to have used the Equal House system. Since then I have consulted the original Latin in which it appears that his use of equal houses is not as clearly established as I had previously thought.

The Transmission of Ptolemy’s Terms: An Historical Overview, Comparison and Interpretation _________________________________________________________________ Deborah Houlding Abstract The planetary rulership of terms has always been a contentious issue. Astrologers such as Ptolemy and Valens recorded the heated disagreements of their time, and demonstrated the differences between competing national ‘systems’. The Egyptian system was clearly predominant in the preserved records of classical astrologers, but by the end of the medieval period its popularity waned as support moved to the table ‘deemed worthy of record’ by the illustrious Ptolemy. Supposed to have been his preferred choice, this table of ‘Ptolemaic terms’ was later said to have settled all disagreements and to have helped standardize European technique. Even if this were true (it is not), the inconsistency by which the Ptolemaic terms are recorded makes this table the most problematic and controversial of all! What the inconsistencies are, and why they exist, is the focus of this paper. Introduction With the renewed interest in Hellenistic techniques, many modern astrologers who employ the planetary terms are choosing to adopt the older, Egyptian system, which was evidently favoured by early classical astrologers. By far the majority, however, employ the so-called ‘Ptolemaic terms’ as set out in William Lilly’s 17th century textbook Christian Astrology.1 The continued reproduction of Lilly’s text and the influence it maintains upon astrologers studying traditional techniques2 has given this particular rendering of the terms a position of such authority that even software products which allow their computation are 1 Lilly, William, Christian Astrology (London, 1647) [hereafter CA]. The terms, shown in Figure 1, are recorded on p.104.

Shamanic Astrology Natal Charts Using the Whole Sign House System
Shamanic Astrology Natal Charts Using the Whole Sign House System When you receive your Shamanic Astrology Natal Chart you will notice that each degree on the house cusps begins with zero degrees. This is different than the Placidus, Koch or other house systems that use different mathematical formulas for dividing the space between the angles of the chart. Robert Hand, an internationally known astrologer, discovered, through translations of ancient Sumerian and Babylonian astrological texts, what is believed to be the oldest known house system used called the Whole Sign System. This system simplifies the houses and eliminates confusion around planetary placements near house cusps. From the perspective of the archetypal approach utilized by Shamanic Astrology the Whole House system beautifully aligns with this, equating the archetypal meaning of a house with that of a sign. For example, the first house of 30 whole degrees always has the connotation of the sign Aries, the second house, Taurus and so on. In the Whole House System each house cusp begins with zero degrees of the sign, placing the ascendant or sign that is rising somewhere in the first house. So for example, if a person is born with 29 degrees Capricorn Rising the first house cusp is zero degrees Capricorn, the second house cusp is zero degrees Aquarius, etcetera. The difference is the Ascendant/Descendant are not defining the first or seventh house cusp but fall within the context of those houses. Other benefits of this system are how it effectively eliminates the confusion concerning what house a planet or node is really occupying.

12 Reasons Why Whole Sign Houses Is the Best
Background Information • In 1982 Holden published a paper in the AFA research journal titled “Ancient House Division.” – He was first to point out that WSH was the original system of house division in western astrology. • Later confirmed by Schmidt & Hand in mid-90s. – They dubbed it “whole sign houses.” • Hand started popularizing it in the 90s. – Started to catch on by the late 2000s/early 2010s. • Quickly becoming a widely used system. • I’ll present some arguments for why. Calculating Whole Sign Houses • Whatever sign the Ascendant is located in, that sign becomes the first house. – From 0 to 30 degrees of the sign. – Regardless of how early or late the ASC is. • ASC was originally called the “Hour-Marker.” – It marks or designates the rising sign. • ASC is not the starting point of the 1st house. – Acts as a floating sensitive point. • Other houses assigned to the signs in order. – There are 12 houses and 12 signs. The MC and IC • MC and IC become floating sensitive points. • They do not act as the start of the 10th or 4th. • They important 10th and 4th house significations into the house they fall in. • This doubles up the significations of that house The Origins of Houses • Western astrology was created in the 1st century BCE based on a fusion of the previous Mesopotamian and Egyptian traditions. • Beginning of “Hellenistic astrology.” – Practiced from 1st century BCE to 7th century CE. • Concept of houses first introduced c. 75 BC. • Didn’t really exist as we know it prior to this. • Resulted from merging zodiac with decans.

Saturn is all about stability and responsibly and hard work. When it influences us astrologically, it makes us cut out the things that no longer serve us. We trim down on extravagances so we can focus on the things that are most important to us. This is why it’s associated with the word “constriction” which on the surface is a hard energy to deal with. On the contrary it is absolutely necessary to have this energy in our lives, just like we need the root chakra to ground us. The signs ruled by Saturn are CAPRICORN and Aquarius. I do think that Capricorn fits with the root chakra, but Aquarius doesn’t. Capricorn is a sign that is extremely focused and hard working and has direction and focus in life. Capricorn makes sure a foundation is set before they start building a house. In my own opinion, I think that the signs TAURUS and SCORPIO also fit under the Root Chakra umbrella.

Elementary Approach to Houses by Anne C. Ortelee We're Going to Take
Elementary Approach to Houses By Anne C. Ortelee We’re going to take a slightly different, elemental approach to houses. We will look at them from the perspective of their elemental rulers to see what they reveal to us. Elements are an incredibly important aspect of astrology that helps us to look at the way the planets, houses and signs manifest. Each house is assigned an element. There are four elements in Western astrology: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. The houses repeat, in order—fire, earth, air, water, fire, earth, air, water, fire, earth, air, water—around the chart. We have three houses of each element that behave in three different ways—action-taking, fixed and changeable, corresponding to the modes of Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. When a planet falls in a house, it automatically assumes part of the inherent elemental nature of the house. We learn in basic astrology that there are four elements—the masculine or yang qualities of Fire and Air and the feminine or yin qualities of Water and Earth. Yang Elements take action. Fire heats things and dries them out. Air moves things and cools them off. Think clothes dryer and blowing on hot food to cool it down. Yang elements MOVE. Fire and Air houses MOVE and TAKE ACTION. Yin elements sit still and receive. Earth doesn’t move unless we pick up a shovel and help it. Earth sustains, holds and separates. Water flows to the lowest point and then takes the shape of the container it is in—spreading to cover or pool on the surface.

The 12 Ascendant Signs: The Macrocosm The Ascendant (often abbreviated AC or ASC) is the zodiacal sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth. The Ascendant defines our body and physical characteristics as well as heavily influencing our character. The location of the Ascendant fixes the microcosm's relationship to the macrocosm. When the Ascendant is located at the beginning of a sign, that sign's traits will be all the more powerful.
