House System Help

After ordering and then being sent back to fill out the birth data form, Dr Z is going to ask you which "house system" you want to use for your reading or report. The default and recommended house system is Koch. However you can also choose Campanus, Equal, Placidus, Porphyry, or Regiomantanus.

Need some help deciding which house system to select? Breathe easy... and remain calm...

If you've never had a chart reading and/or report done before, then don't sweat it. Dr Z highly recommends using the default house system of Koch (and then continuing to request Koch regardless of where you might order another chart reading).

However, if you've had a chart reading and/or report done before (but you're still rather clueless about house systems and/or that there's even such a thing as different house systems) - then it's quite possible that your previous readings/reports have been calculated using the Placidus House System. A few astrologers use Placidus because they are actually convinced it's the best house system out there, but quite a few astrologers (mindlessly) use Placidus for no reason other than it's what everybody else uses.

• If you've chosen to order a reading or report from StarryMart because you trust Dr Z and think he's the best astrologer on the planet, then he still highly recommends that you select the default system of Koch.
  
• However, if you've chosen to order a reading or report from StarryMart simply because it's cheap, then you may wish to consider choosing the Placidus house system because it's likely what you've gotten used to.

Finally, if you've had chart readings and/or reports done before (and you're quasi familiar with the subject of house systems and such), then you're probably already dead set on which house system you wish to use and it would be a waste of breath trying to convince you that you're better off using the Koch house system.

What's the REAL Bottom Line Here?
Where the rubber meets the road, in order to keep prices cheap, Dr Z doesn't have time to change your report and/or reading back and forth between different house systems simply because his report and/or reading (might) place some of your planets in different houses than a previous report from another astrologer did.

FYI - If you're ordering a Horary Reading, then none of this applies to you... as Dr Z uses yet another house system for Horary Readings and, if you want a Horary Reading from Dr Z - you have no choice in the matter of house systems.
