Your House System Changes the Story

A chart can look very different depending on the house system. In the tutorial, Lori explains why the default modern house system can create confusing house divisions, intercepted signs, and mixed house rulerships.

Whole sign houses make the chart easier to use:

  • One sign per house

  • One ruler per house

  • Clearer timing techniques

  • Easier profection years

  • Cleaner house-based transits

  • A chart structure Lori uses across her teaching

This is the foundation step. Once your chart is cast correctly, every class becomes easier to follow.
