The house is one of the most important – but also the most controversial – the subject in astrology.
The 12 signs are very straight – they are 30 ° each. Home, less like this.
There is no home system; There are many. They all ‘work’ in their different ways, highlighting a different ‘taste’ of the chart.
Some house systems work better with some techniques (eg, transit). Other better special interpretations fit styles. This is actually about understanding what the value proposal of each system is – and then using it with awareness.
House System: Plasidus and the entire sign house
Of the tens of existing home systems, Plasidus and entire sign house The most popular are. The most popular – and the most different.

If we find similarities between some home systems (eg, Plasidus and Porphyry, or whole signs and equal houses) – Placidus and the entire sign house are completely different.
Perhaps this is their functioning difference that makes them the most debated house system in contemporary astrology.
More than any other subject in astrology, some dihard have whole sign advocates, as well as loyal plasidus users. Either ‘Team Plasidus’ or ‘Team are the entire sign house’.
How to do two – so different – both house systems ‘work’? There should be one that is right, right?
Here at Astro Butterfly School, we believe that there is no ‘right’ home system. Both house systems work – But in their own unique ways,
This means that the type of astrological insight you can achieve by using a home system can be different from using another.
To understand what makes them different – but also favorable to different applications – let’s talk a little about the principle behind each:
Astrology was born well before homes, which is another recent development. For a long time, astrology was observation – keeping the day in mind may include trekking eclipse or planetary halliable rising. Then 12 signs were conceptualized.
Houses – and Netal Chart – later were an additional, which was emerging from the need to not only kings and nations, but also for individuals to apply astrology.
The fact is that we have the same signal and number of houses Internal ideological link between the twoHome – ideologically – originates from signs. So we have 12 houses – and 24, 35, or no other random number.
The first clear house system used was the entire sign house – where the same principle used to achieve 12 signs was applied to the Natal Chart, resulting in 12 houses.
With the entire sign houses, the same theoretical structure that has created the zodiac signal is applied to the houses. In this system, each signal involves an entire house. For example, if your ascending is in Gemini, then your first house is completely Gemini, the second house is completely cancer, and so on.
What does it matter from the perspective of the entire sign house Which signature is Your home is – in the sign itself Becomes Home.
Later, new house systems were developed. The same houses are similar to the entire signals (they are 30 ° each), but they begin with a degree of ascending. So if your ascending is 5 ° Gemini, then your second house starts at 5 ° cancer, and so on.
The difference here is that Arohi is no longer synonymous with 1 house tail; If a planet is above the horizon in your chart – even if in the same sign (for example 2 ° Gemins) – it moves to the 12th house with equal houses.
Later, Midhaven (MC) and IC were included in the house calculation. In this way the so-called “quadrant” house system-like Plasidus–came about. Since the MC and IC are not necessarily 90 ° from the ascending-dynasty axis (until you are not located right at the equator), the fourth house system is unlike the system-levy signs or the same-disgrace.
There are many Fourth house systems In use (they are separated how they divide the space between angles), but The most popular is a plasidus,
Placidus is the most widely used home system, massively because most astrological software uses it as default. If you have met your chart online or an astrologer and you are uncertain as to which house system it is based on – likely, it is Plasidus.
Specification of Plasidus – and other IV home systems – is that the midehen becomes an important anchor in the chart. And what is Midhaven? Fundamentally, an expression of the Earth’s inclination and our geographical latitude.
Different latitudes – and time of the year – can make the midhven more oblique than right or left, allowing us uneven houses. We can say that With Plasidus, the location matters,
Plasidus vs. Entire sign house

Plasidus All about Location, location, location,
And the difference is that it helps determine which system works best.
The entire sign house is a reflection of 12 basic arctapes. Therefore, it is the basis that a house can have only 1 sign – 2, or 3 (or 12, if you are on the pole, where the horizon disappears).
So with the entire sign houses, with a Gemini growing, your second home is cancer, period. Not a little Gemini, a bit of cancer. Not a little cancer, a little Leo. This approach creates consistent in chart interpretation.
With Plasidus, the boundary of the sky – quite literally, if we consider the method used to calculate it (represent the highest point from the supervisor’s perspective in the sky with Midhaven). This suggests that the Plasidus is more terrestrial – more grounded in the physical space of the observer in the Earth, time and the world.
With full indications, 12 houses – depending on 12 signs – is rooted in the cycles of the solar system, so we can say The entire signals have a more ‘fed,’ sun-centered expression,
Plasidus, by contrast, is more about the unique conditions of the earth and the personIt is about solid manifestations of celestial effects on Earth.
Many people identify more with Plasidus because it seems more individual, more specific for time and location – such as the moment you were born, a furnished impression of the sky.
Placidus becomes more ‘clear’ because it appears in ways that are more reliable than a terrestrial approach – yet it cannot explain the ‘DNA’ of the Natal chart and in the same way the underlying effects indicate the entire indication.
Plasidus and entire sign house
Do both the entire signs and Plasidus work? Absolutely. This is actually about understanding the difference between the two – what separates them, and under what circumstances we can choose on each other.
In the interpretation, the whole signals work well for large-painting disciplines, frequent life areas and transit. Plasidus is rich in nuances and goes to show how we actually experience homes – how the ‘DNA’ of the entire sign house appears in the terrestrial realm.
As we can see, different house systems can emphasize different aspects of your chart. Some systems can better align with your explanatory style, while others may work better with specific techniques.
Some astrologers use only a home system – and it works great for them. Most likely, their interpretation style also conforms to the unique characteristics of that particular system.
Others mainly use a home system (eg, Placidus), but turn to the entire sign houses for special techniques – such as annual benefits.
And then there are people who use both systems in the same reading – people usually manage to achieve the best experience with each one – and both the world’s best.
Plasidus and entire sign house – how do they work?
If you are interested in the house system – especially the difference between the Plasidus and the entire sign house – Astro Butterfly School will “run” from the school.Plasidus and the entire sign house system: how do they work?“Webinar on this subject 25 AprilBut Noon Est,
In this webinar, he will detect the ideological difference between Plasidus and the entire sign houses and how they act differently in practice. Expect a lot of chart examples!
Webinar if for you:
- You are at least Plasidus and familiar with the entire sign house – even if you don’t actively use both – and you are eager to know how they compare.
- You want to learn how to work with Plasidus and full signals
- You want to understand the principles and meaning of different home systems in depth

- You feel very strongly about one of these two house systems and want to prove the other ‘wrong’
- You are working with a separate home system (eg equal, porphyry etc.) and not interested in searching for Plasidus or the entire sign house.
If you are interested, you can buy tickets this link,
The ticket involves access:
- Live event on 25 April (you will receive email reminder with zoom link before call)
- Webinar recording, transcript and slide – including chart examples
- An additional video that explains the ideological difference between the most commonly used home systems: the entire sign house, plasidus, the same house and the porphyry
