🌌 Which Zodiac-House System Works Best for You? 📋 Worksheet Solution
Many astrology enthusiasts encounter doubts when choosing the house system (Whole, Equal, Placidus, etc.) for casting their birth chart, assuming that the initial choice of the zodiac, whether Tropical or Sidereal, is correct. Most Western astrology enthusiasts rely on the Tropical zodiac, while those in the East rely on the Sidereal. In reality, as we have demonstrated in this post, the accuracy of the zodiac, whether Tropical or Sidereal, must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
In the birth chart above, concerning Taylor Swift, in the Tropical zodiac (left), the ☉ (Sun) is in the constellation of ♐ (Sagittarius), whereas in the Sidereal zodiac (right), it’s in the constellation of ♏ (Scorpio). In this instance, the zodiac that better describes Taylor Swift's life is the Tropical.
To determine the correct zodiac (Tropical or Sidereal) and house system (Whole, Equal, Placidus, etc.) that applies to you, we have created a worksheet that based on your personality traits, identifies the placement of your planets in signs and houses. You can choose the statements that most fit you and later check which statement corresponds to the zodiac sign and house placement. For example, if you find work with documents and teamworking burdensome, it suggests that your Saturn is in Gemini. Therefore, if your Tropical Birth chart indicates that your Saturn is in Taurus, while your Sidereal Birth chart indicates that your Saturn is in Gemini, you realize that your Sidereal Zodiac describes your personality more accurately.
Here's another example: if you fear partnerships, contractual agreements, and trusting others, it may indicate that your Saturn is in the 7th house. Therefore, you can easily choose the house system that fits your personality by selecting the one that places your Saturn in the 7th house. It's you who decides which zodiac and house system to use, not the software, the astrologer, or the app.
