This is mostly for those not using Placidus consistently, or those who are less inclined to deep dive (looking for themselves at these aspects). Just taking quick samples that might carry importance to the individual.
~ I've admittedly done this too often. Astrodienst and the format in natal they use for the free extra reports:
You may not realize they use Placidus.
If you normally use Whole house (maybe Equal) for your natal, please check this before thinking of yourself/circumstances in yourself+life matters on the house readings given in those free reports. Differnt houses can bring entirely different meanings.
This was not a post regarding Which way you format your chart(s). It is about your alignment in reading the Free Reports and knowing the houses indeed match your particular situations.
For instance I thought it was set to Whole and realized based upon the text I was given by The Astrologers "this doesn't fit me". They based the Aqua transits the Placidus format (Moving me back to 2nd H Aqua) yet it most def felt in my 3rd. I've always been seen by those that know me, as a communication (Aqua type) as well I feel very 3rd house Aqua, it fits and my stellium clarifies my 3rd. I do toy with other formats but for self/career and serious transits, Whole makes most sense for me.
I don't think we can tweak the format how they deliver these. Just be on your toes when looking at your Free Chart samples from Astrodienst. I wouldn't want anyone to see something and judge their plans in life, especially in such serious times we now live, unless they are aware and feel the formula fits them.
