Re: Primary directions since the 20th century

Thank you for starting this discussion. I studied the technical aspects of PD's in my own way, just because I wanted to know how such a thing could work. But I know too little about the history of this subject, even in the 20th century. And I struggle to find astrologically significant results. Just...

By the way, what do you think about the MC equal house system? Just like the "normal" equal house system, only cast from MC instead of AC (1st cusp always in square to MC). It would not be my preference. I'm searching for solutions that make sense globally, not just in a limited band of l...

Do you define the Midheaven as the 10th cusp within Ludwig-Placidus? If not, then it can't be a quadrant system. Wackford discusses this issue at length in his series of artices that I referenced earlier. Maybe his article "Polar Meridians" will make things clearer. I define the Midheaven...

I didn't "mess up" "their" chart But I did... I just turned it 180° around so that the upper half is actually above horizon, and also changed the houses (1-6 below horizon, 12-7 above, as you seem to be doing likewise). I see your point and what your preference is. One way or an...

The Placidus cusps of Marie Peary are like this: Circumpolar parts of the ecliptic are: 2°28' Tau/Sco to 27°32' Leo/Aqu Midheaven 3°09' Capricorn (circumpolar) Ascendant 26°13' Pisces (retrograde) cusp 12 2°20' Taurus (retrograde) cusp 12 5°44' Taurus (circumpolar) The first house runs from 3°09' Ca...

When doing interpretations, I make two charts. One Equal-house and one Semi-arc houses on the celestial equator (a so-called Mundoscope) The projection onto the ecliptic of those Semi-arc houses result in a "normal" Placidus division in the zodiac. With the Equal-house chart you see the in...

Hey Ruud, how about YOU post Ms Peary's Chart using Ludwig-Placidus cusps? Provided it isn't too much work for you... :???: Hey AP, Yes, I fiddled around with this chart a lot. But I don't have astrological software as I do everything on Astrodienst. And they are not happy when people mess up their...

Am I right in the assumption that Ludwig-Placidus system stops working on the North Pole (90°N)? Equal house system works even on the North Pole, with the approach I laid down above for Ms. Peary. 8) Yes, you're right. The Placidus system ceases to exist at the poles themselves, because there is no...

It would be interesting to see it applied to primary directions (arguably a simpler, or at least more direct and measurable, proposition than examining the inherent symbolism of radical house placements). Do you know if anyone has tried it? This would be very interesting and much needed research. B...

I'm not familiar with that name, but I understand the argument. Where can I read more about the "Ludwig-Placidus house system", if you don't mind? The sources where I got this from are: 1) The series of articles about house systems in the arctic by Michael Wackford here on this site. http...
