Cusp arithmetic. In whole-sign houses the 5th house is the entire 5th sign counted from the rising sign: sign(H5) = (sign(ASC) + 4) mod 12. In equal houses its cusp is ASC + 120°. In quadrant systems (Placidus, Koch, Porphyry, Regiomontanus, Campanus) the cusp is computed from RAMC, obliquity and latitude — see House Systems.

Hellenistic names, joys and Lilly’s significations are optional correspondences beneath the vault’s own house definition above.
