Which House System for Mundane Forum Charts?

1
Hello All,

I often display charts here on the mundane forum for members to view. However, to make this more reflective of members wishes I wondered what house system people prefer to see charts displayed in? I tend you use Placidus most of the time. However, I thought I would check with you all for your thoughts. With over a dozen house systems popularly in use I cannot realistically list them all. I have therefore put up the most popular house systems with a bias towards those with a substantial history behind them.

Please vote on the poll!

Thanks

Its looking like a two Horse race between Alcabitius and Placidus houses. Alcabitius is nudging ahead....

I will give this another week or so. If no change we are on Alcabitius as the default house system for the forum.

Can you add the forth option - "other"?
I will check again but I seem to recall polls only allowed 3 options.

In any case I dont see the point of a generic category that doesn't list a particular house system. There will will be no way to act on this feedback.

In an ideal world I would list every house system under the sun and tally 2nd and 3rd preferences under the single transferable or preferntial voting system. However, I am afraid this is a bit more of an informal affair which makes no pretense at being fully accurate :)

I should point out that if a member wants a chart displayed in their chosen house system I am happy to do this for them. Equally, people will also continue to display charts here in a variety of house systems.

I have had a chat to Deb as she is back from her travels. It appears I was incorrect and numerous options are available on Skyscript polls.

I can apparently put up to 10 options. So sorry for wasting the time of members but I am going to relauch this whole idea in the New Year when mercury is direct again.

Here are the house systems I will put up in alphabetical order:

1 Alcabitius
2 Campanus
3 Equal
4 Koch
5 Krusinski
6 Placidus
7 Porphyry
8 Regiomontanus
9 Whole Sign
10 Other

I have left out Topocentric as it leads to very similar results as Placidus. I dont think Meridian or Morinus house systems are a serious proposition either. Although if we get any Artic charts Morinus might be worth a go.
