Whole Sign House System

Whole Sign Houses is the traditional Vedic house system where each house equals exactly one complete zodiac sign, starting from the Ascendant's sign.

What is Whole Sign House System?

In Whole Sign Houses, the entire sign containing the Ascendant becomes the 1st house, the next sign becomes the 2nd house, and so on. No house is split across signs, and no sign is intercepted. This is the original house system used in both Hellenistic and Vedic astrology. Its simplicity makes calculations straightforward and avoids the distortions of quadrant-based systems at extreme latitudes. TriAstra uses Whole Sign for all Vedic calculations while using Placidus for Western charts.

How TriAstra Uses Whole Sign House System

TriAstra applies Whole Sign Houses exclusively for Vedic chart calculations, providing clear sign-based house assignments that complement Western Placidus divisions.

In Vedic analysis, your houses align perfectly with signs — one sign, one house. This creates clean, unambiguous house placements.
