Whole Sign Houses
Equal House system, but differs in that the first house begins with the first degree of its
ruling sign, rather than the rising degree. The mid-heaven and ascending degree are not counted as house cusps, but rather sensitive points. Used today mainly in India, but as Hellenistic astrology is better understood, it is becoming more popular in the West.

Wolf-Rayet (WR) Stars
-14 solar masses every year, Wolf-Rayet stars typically lose 10-5 solar masses a year (100 million times the Sun's loss!) comparable with
supernovę. Discovered in 1867 (by Wolf and Rayet), these stars are hot, with surface temp between 25,000 K & 50,000 K. There is no astrological connotation for WR in itself, as it is a modern discovery and most are too distant to register. The WR most readily seen is γ (Gamma) Velorum, Mg 1.7 in the Sail of Argo Navis in the Southern
Hemisphere.
