Astrological House Division & the Symbolism of the Celestial Circles

Astrological House Division & the Symbolism of the Celestial Circles

Study how the major house division systems are calculated—in a way that does not require any math. Rather than advocate the use of one house system over another, we will simply compare them and look at the various celestial circles they are based on, reflecting upon the symbolic implications of each of them and how they might impact on chart interpretation.

Prerequisites:

Fundamental knowledge pf planets, signs, houses and aspects.

We’ll discuss what distinguishes one house system from another, promoting a better historic understanding of why they were invented and take a look at the features of each house system and compare them. This will allow the student to make informed choices on which ones they might want to use in their practice, and for what purpose.

In this course we will cover ecliptic-based (Whole Sign, Equal and Porphyry), space-based (Meridian, Regiomontanus, Campanus), and time-based houses (Alcabitius, Koch, Placidus, and Topocentric).

Weekly Topics:

  1. Introduction to the Celestial Circles: An overview of the house systems we will cover; what celestial circles they are based on, and which astrologers they are associated with.

  2. Ecliptic-based Houses

  3. Space-based Houses

  4. Time-based houses

  5. Symbolism of the Celestial Circles
