Chart Styles
The two main chart display styles are North Indian and South Indian shown here with North on
the left. With Northern, the Houses are always in the same places as shown. With Southern, the
Signs are always in the same places as shown. Note the Slash is the Sign of Cancer d. This is
how the ascendent or rising sign is usually indicated on Southern Charts. That is then House 1,
and you count from there Clockwise for the rest of the houses. On the Northern chart (left) you
can see that you count the houses counter clockwise. On northern, the signs move. On Southern,
the Houses move. Northern is preferrable overall because it emphasizes houses over signs.
