How to recalculate the chart in another house system
Just write: «recalculate my chart in Whole Sign» or «show the same in Koch». No need to repeat your data — Viki remembers it. Comparing is genuinely useful: planets near a house border migrate between systems, and that by itself flags a theme sitting on a boundary.
Why recalculate at all
A planet two degrees from a cusp can land in the 9th house in Placidus and in the 10th in Whole Sign. The life theme shifts noticeably: journeys and worldview versus career and status.
When a reading «doesn’t sit right», the first thing to check is whether a key planet rides a border.
How to phrase it
- «Recalculate in Whole Sign»
- «Show my chart in Koch»
- «Compare Placidus and Equal — what changes?»
- «Which of my planets sit close to house borders?»
What to look at when comparing
- Did any planets migrate between houses.
- Did the sign on an important cusp change — and with it the house ruler.
- Did the reading become clearer and closer to your life: that’s the real criterion.
If you were born far north
At high latitudes Placidus and Koch behave badly: houses degenerate, and near the polar circle the calculation can fail outright. Equal and Whole Sign hold up there — ask Viki for those.
Viki remembers your data — one sentence is enough.
