How to recalculate the chart in another house system

In short

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

  1. Did any planets migrate between houses.
  2. Did the sign on an important cusp change — and with it the house ruler.
  3. 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.

Recalculate my chart in Whole Sign
Done. The main shift: Mars moved from the 9th house into the 10th. In Placidus it was about travel and convictions; here it’s about career and drive. Which feels more like your life?
