Hello everyone!
I have a question regarding the Ascendant and houses. I have been reading up on some Astrological issues, and I find it quite fascinating (especially the mechanics behind a Horoscope). However, one thing puzzles me and causes some confusion. It seems there is serious disagreement among Astrologers as how to calculate the Ascendant and/or the houses. I keep hearing about different systems (Placidus, Koch etc.). What does this really mean? Why is there such confusion as to what system to use? Which did Linda favor?
Many questions at once, I know! But I think this is very important, for if the Ascendant is one of the three most influential aspects in ones chart, then it would be of vital importance that it is calculated "correctly."
Love,
