Hi Mathew, The earlier tradition does not assist. What exactly are you looking for assistance on? We are still using a domicile rulership scheme based on the tropical zodiac that dates back to Ptolemy. So unless you want to go sidereal you need to confront that issue. Just not clear where you are g...

One justification (I am not saying it is right or wrong) is that most of the landmass is in the northern hemisphere; so the earth - as an entirety - "greens" in the northern hemisphere summer. This is a remark Bernadette Brady makes in her article "Fixed Stars; Why Bother?" - wh...
