I see some people posting in Placidus and others in Whole house system. Is there an accuracy difference between them?

different people are gonna give you different answers to this question. whole-sign is more associated with traditional astrology and rulerships and in some ways is easier and more consistent across charts to read. Placidus runs into the issue where people born far north of the equator will have some houses being gigantic, and others tiny, and therefore have “intercepted signs” which modern astrologers have ascribed meaning to. this issue doesn’t exist with whole sign. but I sort of feel my Placidus chart is more accurate for myself. I respect both systems, using placidus myself but listen to Chris Brennan of the Astrology Podcast frequently who uses WS. I also like the idea of using the old rulership schemes— like Scorpio’s traditional ruler is Mars but has been changed to Pluto in modern. I like looking at both planets in a case like this.

I have pluto in my 1st house in my Scorpio ascendant, along with the moon and jupiter.
I have mars in Aries in the 5th. What 2 kinds of interpretations can you make out of these 2 statements?
