No Asc or Mc for Whole Sign - House System Selection

[1OnesAndZeros0]

Thank you so much for implementing the house system selection! This is great!

However there's still the problem of showing the Asc and Mc as 00°00'00 when generating the SVG.

Using the John Lenon example, they should be Asc: 16°04' and Mc: 5°33' (rounded by the generator I used) for the Whole Sign system.

Unless there's something I'm doing wrong?

          Closing, here the example of the implementation:

Hi, can you share a code snippet of the issue?

[1OnesAndZeros0]

Here's a sample of a script I'm using:
`from kerykeion import AstrologicalSubject, KerykeionChartSVG

def get_user_input():
name = input("Enter the person's name: ")
year = int(input("Enter birth year: "))
month = int(input("Enter birth month (1-12): "))
day = int(input("Enter birth day: "))
hour = int(input("Enter birth hour (0-23): "))
minute = int(input("Enter birth minute (0-59): "))
city = input("Enter birth city: ")
nation = input("Enter birth country code (e.g., US, CA, UK): ")
return name, year, month, day, hour, minute, city, nation

def generate_birthchart():
print("Please enter the birth information:")
name, year, month, day, hour, minute, city, nation = get_user_input()

# Create an AstrologicalSubject instance with user input
person = AstrologicalSubject(
    name=name,
    year=year,
    month=month,
    day=day,
    hour=hour,
    minute=minute,
    city=city,
    nation=nation,
    houses_system_identifier="W"  # Whole House system
)

# Create a KerykeionChartSVG instance
person_chart = KerykeionChartSVG(person)

# Generate the SVG
person_chart.makeSVG()

print("\nSVG generated successfully!")
print(f"The Whole House system chart has been saved as '{name}_Chart.svg' in your home directory.")

if name == "main":
generate_birthchart()`

I've tried hard coding as well. 
You can see in the attached image.

Hi @1OnesAndZeros0, I'm not much of an expert of the Whole Sign system. Can you provide me more details about how it should work?
I checked and it looks there are not issues with the code, the data is correctly generated by the underling implementation of the swiss ephemeris.

@g-battaglia In the whole-sign house system (preferred in India), the sign which the ascendant falls into is simply considered house 1. For example, if the ascendant is in 20° gemini then house 1 spans from 0° gemini to 30° gemini, HOWEVER the AC/DC axis itself is still defined as being in 20° gemini / 20° sagittarius. Even in an extreme situation where the AC falls into e.g. 29°59' of gemini, house 1 is still defined as 0° gemini to 30° gemini. But only a few minutes later all the houses "jump" from gemini to cancer. (That's why birth time correction is very important in this situation.)

Once house 1 is defined taking this approach then all the remaining houses are simply counted according to the signs, so house 2 is 0° cancer to 30° cancer, house 3 from 0° leo to 30° leo, and so on. Cusps of house 10/4 are NOT aligned with the MC/IC! The effect is that the MC may end up anywhere in the houses 9, 10 or 11 (and the IC accordingly anywhere between h3, 4 or 5).
