Here are some testimonials:
"Thank you thank you thank you CARO! This was the most eye-opening presentation for me. After years of grappling between the two house systems (i'm on team Placidus), you so eloquently explained their differences and their unique qualities, and most importantly, how both systems can be used for different applications. I couldn't believe it when you explained how to interpret when the Sun is in the 12H in Placidus but is in the 1st H in whole signs which is exactly what I have! This has been an enigma for me for years and you were able to articulate this wonderfully!"
"Wow! Loved that! I'd been so anti-Whole Sign houses (I learned with Equal Houses, which is similar and totally changes the interpretation of my chart when compared to Placidus). I can see now how I might use both."
"Very well presented, clear and thought provoking… definitely has me thinking"
"Excellent presentation. Clear, concise, and manageable chunks of information to remember. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this!"
"This class exceeded my expectations and is one of the best presented astrology classes I have taken. I really appreciated how clearly the information was provided without going off topic or into the weeds. I also found the examples of how we can apply and use these differences between the two house systems so helpful in understanding my own chart. Thank you!"
