Houses · Placidus
What's this?
Houses divide the chart into twelve areas of life. A planet’s house describes where its symbolism is most likely to be expressed. Houses I, IV, VII and X are known as angular houses and relate to identity, home, partnership and public direction. Their exact relationship to the Ascendant, Midheaven and other angles depends on the selected house system.

CHART SIGNATURE
What's this?Close
Chart Signature looks at the chart as a whole instead of reading every placement in isolation. The element and modality balance gives equal weight to the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, plus the Ascendant when the birth time is reliable. The Midheaven is excluded from this balance. The observations draw on planetary distribution, accepted aspects, retrogrades, sign concentrations and dispositor relationships. Only clear structural patterns are shown.
Astrological systems can use different objects and thresholds. This section follows AstrowlAI's approach and is not a universal standard.
