House distortion occurs when the sequence of signs following the rising sign do not follow the corresponding number of houses, That is the 5th sign from the riser is not found on the 5th house cusp, i.e. A person has Gemini riser but instead of Libra of 5th , we see Virgo.

Astronomically, this is due to the inclination of the Equator to the Ecliptic and the latitude of the birth place North or South of the Equator.

You show something different on the house cusps than the order of the signs in the sky, and this shows a problem with the house.

And what does distortion show? The idea is that harmony with the Archetype is good while the disharmony is bad.
