Houses are a part of astrology that I don't find to be very intuitive and I don't really understand.

I'm wondering what is your take on houses? What are they? Is there a particular system you prefer? You mentioned something about planets in their "observable" houses? What does that mean?

I have had the best results using placidus, where the 4th house will always start at the IC and 10th house at the MC. But that can be confusing for someone used to equal houses if the houses end up being significantly different in size. Equal house is a reasonable compromise

“Observable” houses means how we determine the boundaries of a house has nothing to do with the tropical signs, but simply by calculating the four cardinal points of the sky and joining the dots from there. House as I understand them signify the stage of the life cycle that each planet will most manifest itself. Close to the eastern horizon will be very closely tied to perception, attitude, physical appearance; bottom of the sky in local and familial domains; western horizon interpersonal relationships; top of the sky professional and public domains. Between those points is a more detailed story that we reduce down into 12 chapters.

I avoid hard edges in Astrology wherever possible, which is why Tropical and Whole Sign rub me a bit the wrong way. Also, I have my North Node in a wide Conjunction with my Ascendant, but in Whole Sign Houses it falls in the 2nd House: just don't feel right to me. Having said that, I understand the history of Whole Sign Houses and their usefulness particularly when doing general Horoscopes.
