Hi all. I’m getting confused on what house system I should be using. I’ve tried asking this question but get ambiguous replies. Reddit astrologers almost insist on using whole signs, but I never considered using it for myself before. So I’m wondering how do you know which one to use.
In my case my natal chart seems almost unrecognizable in whole signs system, and I don’t feel I relate to it, but someone suggested that I ppl might not feel like that chart because they may have identified so much with the other chart they can’t see themselves clearly. So I’m wondering what system do you guys feel is better to use? And how do you determine which one is best for you?
Finding out ppl like to use such different house systems is starting to make astrology feel like water between your fingers. Very general 😓IP: Logged |

I find placidus falls apart easier than whole sign. IP: Logged |

It's whatever resonates more with you. There isn't a precise answer.In short, whatever works for you, works for you! I usually test things out first, for a few years even, before I decide on a house system. It goes even weirder. Astrology may be for some people but astrology may not be for some others! ------------------

I use both, but mostly Placidus. I add Whole signs understanding to analyze the energies of the houses. I would say when I analyze a chart, I use 70% Placidus and 30% Whole signs.IP: Logged |

I'm not a fan of Whole Sign. Placidus resonates much more for me. But to each their own. IP: Logged |

I mean that it doesn't work as well reliably and that where someone is born can make it worse. It "works" but you lose a lot. It's fine for divination either way though. IP: Logged |
