Morinus

In the Morinus system, the celestial equator is divided into twelve equal-sized segments starting from the Meridian. The segment points on the equator are then converted to the ecliptical coordinate system. The ecliptic longitudes of these points make up the twelve house cusps.

In the Morinus house system the 10th house cusp deviates slightly from the MC. Similarly, the 1st house cusp is not identical with the Ascendant.

The house system is named after the French philosopher, mathematician and astrologer Jean-Baptiste Morin (Latin: Morinus, 1583-1656).
