I am really not a fan of sidereal either.. which house system do you use, and do you know which one was used in Mathers' times? If you do have any book-suggestions on these topics I'd be a really happy fellow! :)Bambinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399086709583103066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-38795664363347226772013-03-27T08:50:22.587-06:002013-03-27T08:50:22.587-06:00I am in agreement with your views on the subject. ...I am in agreement with your views on the subject. I actually started drawing zodiac signs according to what stars are in the modern regions of those parts of the night sky. Perhaps I'll finish it up this week and share it on my blog, if I have the time.J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10026026594990409111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-58726558763140017392013-03-06T10:35:43.100-07:002013-03-06T10:35:43.100-07:00If you study Renaissance astrology, it becomes ver...If you study Renaissance astrology, it becomes very clear that the way the system was practiced up until the modern era did exactly as you suggest - it treated the constellations for markers indicating twelve equal sections of the ecliptic. Up until 1800 or so, the entire Western astrological system was whole sign, equal house - that is, each sign (that is, twelfth of the ecliptic) represents the house.<br /><br />So, for example, the first house starts at the beginning of the sign in which your ascendant falls, not at the ascendant marker itself. If your ascendant is, say, Cancer (mine), everything in Cancer is in the first house even if it precedes the ascendant. The chart then proceeds from there with each house represented by the subsequent sign. This method makes some remarkable predictions, better in my opinion than all of the modern techniques that try to fuss around with different house systems and so forth.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.com
