Back in the '70s, when we were exploring Cosmobiology and the German idea that the "hard" aspects are the most reliable indicators of life-events, my brother and I experimented with an eight-division house system that bisected the quadrants into 45-degree segments. This was a follow-on to the German conceptual framework and wasn't based on any historical precedent unless it was Dane Rudhyar's work on cycles. A couple of years ago I came across the word oktotopos in connection with eight-division house systems and today I went looking in earnest. This article by Bill Johnston seems to sum it up well. The "house meanings" we came up with were more developmental than compartmentalized into "topics" as seems to have been the case with earlier models.

I'm curious whether anyone else has explored this.
