The Houses
In Placidus, the chart is a pure replica of the sky from where you stand on earth. What you see is what you get - as above and so below. It is based on your unique vantage point. Earth is actually not a perfect circle. And the sky looks vastly different depending on where you stand on the planet whether you are on the equator, or near one of the poles, and the placidus system takes all of this into account when casting a chart. In my readings, I enjoy the level of detail and accuracy the placidus system allows for, especially utilizing house cusps and the 4 angles. However, when writing horoscopes, I use the whole sign system as this speaks best to all members of a particular sign.
