DescriptionAfter several years of research into the oldest texts
of our astrological tradition we now know what the earliest
housesystem was. And in a way it was not a house system at all as
we understand house systems. Rather, it was thesigns of the zodiac,
themselves, used as a house system. In this system the rising
degree of the zodiac marks thesign it is located in as the 1st
house. The rising sign itself thus becomes the 1st house, as we
would refer to it, fromits very beginning to its end, regardless of
where in the sign the rising degree may fall. The next sign to rise
after therising sign becomes the 2nd house, the next sign the 3rd
house, and so forth. Actually, to understand this properly,one has
to know that it is not that the signs were used as houses so much
as there were no houses at all, merelythe signs of the zodiac used
as we would use houses, with no second, separate, twelve-fold
division of the chart atall.
Whole Sign Houses describes this oldest way of dealing with
houses, and shows how effective it can be in modernastrology, so
effective in fact that the author (as well as many other students
of traditional astrology) has completelygiven up on modern house
systems not just for historical reasons but, even more importantly,
because whole signhouses simply work better.
