My experience has been that different house systems are appropriate for different purposes. I use a quadrant system for planetary strength, but whole sign houses for meaning.

On zodiacs, I use Tropical for meaning but am still undecided about Sidereal v Tropical for rulership. Yes, I know, using different zodiacs like that does not make sense, but it often works

It is funny that you say that, GB, in light of Robert Schmidt's recent lecture release on the subject. His conclusions about what the Greeks did with houses is exactly what I have found by observation - namely that quadrant houses should be used to pick the Hyleg and beginning planet in time-lord systems like Decennials, but whole-sign for everything else. Another observation that I later found out coincides with ancient practice is the use of the Sidereal zodiac for everything but determining the ascensional times of the signs.

If it was down to the zodiac I use, then surely your own predictions would be better than the rate they currently sit at?

On the flat racing 2016 thread i've made 21 suggestions and had 11 winners.

You have had how many, exactly?

Astrogooner, I have no interest in entering into a pissing contest with you, and I note it was one you never wanted either before you edited your post. Please ignore me, and I will do the same to you.

Please ignore me, and I will do the same to you.

Sorry, i'm alway happy to engage in debate, and i have my own particular style.If you don't like it, it's not a problem. I don't hold grudges and i edit because i have a Virgo Mercury.

Maybe you're a little bit sensitive to frank discussion? I do apologise - sometimes my natal mars/mercury upsets the more sensitive of souls. With such a 'successful natal rate', i'm sure you'll understand...

I might edit this in a few moments - i apologise in advance...

And it was you who posted how dire your sports predictions are - i'm only trying to point you in the right direction...



Goal at 89'mins? Ephemeral movement trine Sun...

I'm sorry, i'm happy to make predictions and not afraid to get it wrong...
There's on;y 2 of us on here brave enough to do so - so no need to apologise for virgo Moon it seems to me...

(Apologies all the same...)

Always happy to get it wrong from time to time...

Or did i?


Edit: Waddy' tink, Konrad?

Changed my login name, - if that's ok?

Let's get back to the astrology

Picking football results can go horribly wrong very quickly, so I'm saying nothing yet. Averaging 1 in 3 seems to about par for the course- we'll see,

I'm now back in front of a computer and I've amended my previous two posts.

Monday

Spain v Czech: Spain to win (Moon applying to Ascendant, then MC, Hour ruler and Ascendant ruler of the same triplicity, Lord of the hour in domicile)

Sweden/ROI - draw (not much activity/energy in the chart, Moon next aspect to weak retrograde planet and Lord of Hour in detriment)

Belgium/Italy - draw ( Lord of Hour and Ascendant same humoral quality, and same triplicity by Lilly -balance - and next aspect to weak retrograde planet)
