shamira: i have used the Oktopus (eight house system running CLOCKWISE with

the ascendant being the midpoint of house 1, zenith being midpoint of house

3. by extrapolating the midpoints you get the midpoints of the other houses

as well. this is covered in cyril fagan's ASTROLOGICAL ORIGINS chapter XIX.

good luck finding others who might be using this system which is quietly

logical and elegant. /// chris wing in austin tx

Chris, you use the zenith point for 3 rather than the M.C.?? I'm just

asking, as I never worked with the Octotopus, or if I did, I've forgotten

how I used it. (I did look it up in AO when we discussed it a while ago.)
