I've been researching different house systems and when they are most effective, but I haven't heard much commentary (praise or otherwise) on the meridian house system. So what are your thoughts on using this? Personal experiences? IP: Logged |

The Meridian House System is the house system used by all Uranian astrologers.
Unlike all other traditional house systems, (where the cusp of the 1st house is always the Ascendant), the Meridian House System’s 1st House cusp is not the Ascendant.
The cusp of the 1st House in the Meridian House System is known as the Equatorial Ascendant, because it would indeed be the Ascendant if the person were born at the Equator.
The traditional Ascendant arrived at by the consideration of latitude, is still the Ascendant of the chart.

Meridian (Zariel).
The Meridian house system was proposed by the Australian astrologer Zariel (David Cope) in the early 1900s.
It has never received much attention, but was investigated by American astrologers Bruce Lloyd and Garth Allen in the late 1950s.
This system is also referred to as the "Axial Rotation System," a term which is somewhat misleading, as no rotation is involved, but derives from the use of the North and South Celestial poles for the construction of the great circles.
Circles are drawn through the poles and twelve points that divide the equator equally, starting at the meridian.
These points are then projected onto the ecliptic.
The MC is identical to the 10th house cusp.
The ASC is not equal to the 1st cusp,
but is equivalent to the East Point or equatorial ascendant. This system works in extreme latitudes...is not specific to birthplace.
The Meridian house system is most popular with Uranian astrologers.

Thank you so much Mirage29!
I was playing around with it, and I actually like this house system a lot for people born in the North. It changes Pluto to be in my 1st house which would explain why so many people see me as a Scorpio ascendant instead of a Libra.IP: Logged |
