Placidus
#1Placidus de Titis (1603)
Divide TIME - how long each degree takes to travel from horizon to midheaven
Each house cusp is the degree that has completed 1/3, 2/3 of its semi-arc journey from rising to culminating.
优点
- Most popular worldwide (default on astro.com, most apps)
- Time-based - relates to the actual journey of degrees across the sky
- Best for timing techniques (transits, progressions)
缺点
- FAILS at extreme latitudes (above ~66°)
- House sizes can be very unequal
- Complex iterative calculation

Whole Sign
#2Hellenistic astrologers (公元前 200 年)
极地适用等宫
Each zodiac sign IS a house - the simplest possible system
The sign containing your Ascendant becomes the 1st house. The next sign is the 2nd house, and so on. No math required beyond finding the Ascendant.
优点
- Simplest to calculate and understand
- Works at ALL latitudes including polar regions
- Oldest documented system (Hellenistic tradition)
缺点
- Ascendant may not be at cusp of 1st house
- MC may not be at cusp of 10th house
- Less precise for timing techniques
HellenisticVedic/JyotishTraditional revival
Koch
#3Walter Koch (1962)
Divide the path the Ascendant degree has traveled since rising
Trisects the Ascendant's own journey from horizon to midheaven. The "birthplace" system.
优点
- Popular in German-speaking countries
- Birth-location specific (meaningful symbolism)
- MC and ASC at natural cusps
缺点
- Fails at extreme latitudes (like Placidus)
- Can produce extreme house size variations
- Less theoretical justification than Placidus

Topocentric
#4Wendel Polich & A.P. Nelson Page (1961)
Modern refinement of Placidus accounting for exact observer position on Earth's surface
Like Placidus but adjusts for the observer being on the Earth's surface, not at its center.
优点
- Most astronomically precise system
- Works at higher latitudes than pure Placidus
- Best for very precise timing
缺点
- Very similar to Placidus (minimal practical difference)
- Still fails at extreme polar latitudes
- Complex calculation

Equal House
#5Hellenistic/Medieval astrologers (100)
极地适用等宫
Divide the zodiac into 12 equal 30° segments starting from the Ascendant
Start at the Ascendant degree, then each house cusp is exactly 30° further. All houses are exactly 30°.
优点
- Simple to calculate (just add 30° each time)
- Works at all latitudes
- All houses equal size (30°)
缺点
- MC not aligned with 10th house cusp
- Less traditional than Whole Sign or Placidus
- Ignores latitude-based factors in house division

Regiomontanus
#6Johannes Müller (Regiomontanus) (1475)
极地适用
Divide the celestial equator into 30° segments, then project via great circles
Trisects the celestial equator, then uses great circles through the north and south points to find ecliptic cusps.
优点
- Works at all latitudes
- Historically important (Renaissance to 18th century)
- Good for horary astrology (William Lilly used this)
缺点
- Less intuitive than time-based systems
- Superseded by Placidus in popularity
- Intermediate cusps can feel arbitrary
RenaissanceHorary (traditional)European 15th-18th century
Campanus
#7Johannes Campanus (Giovanni Campano) (1260)
极地适用
Divide the prime vertical into 30° segments, then project onto the ecliptic
Uses great circles through the north and south points of the horizon. Space-based rather than time-based.
优点
- Works at all latitudes including poles
- Space-based (relates to local environment)
- Philosophically elegant (divides the "what is above" from "what is below")
缺点
- House sizes can be very unequal
- Less intuitive than time-based systems
- Not widely used today

Porphyry
#8Porphyry of Tyre (270)
极地适用
Trisect each quadrant of the chart evenly along the ecliptic
Take the four angles (ASC, IC, DSC, MC) and divide each quadrant into three equal parts. Simple trisection.
优点
- Simpler than Placidus or Koch
- Works at all latitudes
- MC and IC at their natural house cusps
缺点
- Less nuanced than time-based systems
- Can produce very unequal houses if quadrants are unequal
- Not widely used in modern practice

Alcabitius
#9Al-Qabisi (Alcabitius) (960)
Trisect the semi-arcs projected onto the celestial equator
Divides the time it takes for a point to rise to culminate, projected onto the equator. Arabic tradition.
优点
- Time-based like Placidus but simpler calculation
- Important in medieval tradition
- MC and ASC at natural cusps
缺点
- Fails at extreme latitudes (like Placidus)
- Less common in modern practice
- Requires understanding of semi-arc concept

Morinus
#10Jean-Baptiste Morin (Morinus) (1661)
极地适用
Divide the celestial equator equally, project to ecliptic without latitude adjustment
Like Regiomontanus but ignores geographic latitude entirely. Pure equator-to-ecliptic projection.
优点
- Works at all latitudes including poles
- Simple calculation (no iteration needed)
- Location-independent (universal)
缺点
- Ignores geographic latitude (some see this as a flaw)
- Ascendant may not align with 1st house cusp
- Rarely used in modern practice

常见问题
Which house system is correct?
None is objectively "correct" - they're all valid mathematical models. Different systems divide the sky differently, like different ways to slice a pie. The "best" one depends on your astrological tradition and what you're trying to learn about a chart.
Why does my Rising sign stay the same but planet houses change?
All systems agree on the Ascendant (Rising sign) and Midheaven - these are fixed astronomical points. What changes is where the intermediate house boundaries fall, which can shift planets between houses.
Which should I use as a beginner?
Whole Sign is the simplest to understand - each sign equals one house. Placidus is the most popular if you want to match what most apps show. Try both and see which resonates with your experience.
Why do some systems fail at polar latitudes?
Systems like Placidus divide TIME (how long each degree takes to travel across the sky). Near the poles, some degrees never rise or set, making time-based division mathematically impossible. Space-based systems like Whole Sign or Campanus don't have this problem.
Can I change my house system?
Yes! In most astrology apps, you can select your preferred house system. Your planets don't move - only the house boundaries change, which may shift which houses some planets fall in.
