What Is an Equal House Chart?
An Equal House Chart is a natal chart where:
- The Ascendant degree marks the start of House 1
- Each house spans 30 degrees of the zodiac
- House cusps follow in exact 30-degree steps
- All 12 houses are equal in size
Unlike other systems, the Equal House method does not distort house sizes based on latitude or season. This makes it stable and predictable across all birth locations.
How the Equal House System Works
Step-by-Step Structure
- Calculate the Ascendant
- Based on birth date, birth time, and birth location
- This becomes the starting point of the chart
- Divide the Zodiac
- From the Ascendant degree, each house moves forward by 30 degrees
- Example:
- House 1: Ascendant to +30°
- House 2: +30° to +60°
- House 3: +60° to +90°
- Assign Zodiac Signs
- A house cusp may fall in the middle of a sign
- Houses do not automatically align with sign boundaries
This exact logic is reflected in your Equal House Chart Calculator, where every house cusp is calculated by adding 30 degrees from the Ascendant.
Why Astrologers Use the Equal House Chart
The Equal House system is popular because it is:
- Simple to understand
- Mathematically consistent
- Free from extreme distortions
- Ideal for beginners and professionals
- Reliable across all latitudes
Many modern astrologers use Equal House charts for personality analysis, life themes, and psychological astrology.
