The Subterranean Place
The 4th House System We’ve arrived at the last of the four angles in the chart. 4th House: Although called the subterranean place, it is also known as the foundation. For that reason it signifies your dwelling place and the community to which you are attached and both concepts are the foundation of your existence […]
The Setting Place
The 7th House System Let’s look at the next two pairs of angles, starting with the 7th House. 7th House: Just as the 1st House marks your entrance into this world, the 7th House represents your exit stage left from this world. For that reason the 7th House signifies death. The Greek word used here […]
The Midheaven
The 10th House System A repeating theme you will see is the 1st and 10th Houses are always paired together just as the 7th and 4th Houses are always paired. For that reason it’s appropriate to address the Midheaven next. 10th House: Just as the stars in the 1st House are “stuck” there due to […]

The only valid house system used for a handful of special techniques is the […]
The 12-House System
The 12-House System is predicated on the Base 60 number system. Base 60 is a natural system derived from naturally occurring relationships in nature unlike the contrived artificial Base 10 and the Frankenstein Metric System. Vestiges of the Base 60 number system are still in use today: Never refer to any house in the chart […]
The 8-House System
We want to clear up obtuse misconceptions about the 8-House Topical System. Before we do, we categorically reject and dismiss the 8-House System, and the decans due to the fact those are non-Greek Egyptian systems modified by Greek Egyptians. In the Egyptian Old Kingdom right around the time of the 3rd or 4th Dynasty circa […]
Astrology Symbols
The only thing we despise more than the use of Latin in astrology is the use of Anglicized Latin in astrology. It’s destructive to the art. Anglicized Latin hides the true symbolism inhibiting your ability to accurately interpret charts and make predictions.
