Hi guys,Have you tried the Porphyry house system and if so, what do you think of it? I read a book about 'spiritual astrology' and they used the Porphyry system there. I don't know what the new perspective of this house system would be (I usually use equal houses, but I guess they all work overlapping each other somehow). This system didn't give anything new to me really. ~ Lana IP: Logged |

What's the porphyry system supposed to show? All it did was it moved my Jupiter back into the previous house.IP: Logged |

I don't really know what it is supposed to show and why they chose to use that system. Maybe there is a reason, but sometimes it seems that the choice of house systems is just a personal preference for a number of reasons (?). But since the Porphyry is listed in astro.com, it must have been around for some time. IP: Logged |

Because of the accuracy of the Placidus system when working with a truly accurate Asc, I have not tried Poryphyry. Poryphyry is an arbitrary equalization of the quadrant arc between each of the three houses in that quandrant. Alan Leo described it as a "rough and ready" method precisely because it lacks the necessary precision, but is usually 'close enough.' To emphasize the accuracy of Placidus (between latitudes 66° north/south), I am able to use its cusps in declination in some chart rectifications and/or refine interpretations to a fine point based on planetary parallels to those cusps. That just does not happen consistently with any other house system. ------------------
