ASTROLOGY 101

Lesson 8

What is the "Ruler" of a House?
Pick a house, any house. Look at the zodiac sign for its house cusp. Each zodiac
sign has a ruling planet . This ruling planet for the sign on the cusp is known
as the ruler of that house. The ruler of a house (which may be in another part of
the birth chart entirely) exerts a powerful influence on the affairs of that house.
In situations where no planets are in a house, the condition of the ruler may be
the only clue as to how these areas of life work.
RULER OF THE FIRST HOUSE
Ruler of the First House in the First House
You want to create a distinct first impression on other people and the image you
project is very important to you. There may be a strong resemblance to one of
your grandparents.
Ruler of the First House in the Second House
You have a strong desire to accumulate possessions and earning your own
money is important to you. What you have, materially speaking influences your
outlook on life. Creating your own sense of liberty and freedom largely depends
on how well you handle your financial security issues.
Ruler of the First House in the Third House
You're curious about life and learning is important to you. You want to get your
ideas noticed and communication is important to you. There is a strong need to
feel well integrated into your immediate community and you may make many
short local trips. You tend to have a lot of interest in your siblings if you have
them and you identify strongly with close relatives in general.
Ruler of the First House in the Fourth House
You may have a strong identification with your mother and/or your home and it's
likely that your upbringing had a strong influence on you. You enjoy your privacy
and the domestic scene in general. Inheritance in the form of real estate of some
kind is a possibility, perhaps through a grandparent.
Ruler of the First House in the Fifth House
You enjoy most forms of play and recreation. Love, love affairs and other social
activities help to enhance a healthy self image. There may also be a strong
identification with children in general, even your own children. You are creative
and you have the ability to hold the attention of an audience. Remember, you
can't go wrong when you follow the dictates of your own heart.
Ruler of the First House in the Sixth House
This chart factor indicates that you have a strong work ethic and you probably
identify yourself by the work you are capable of doing. Health is important to you
and very often your outlook on life affects your well-being. Avoid being caught
up in negative downward spirals. You are the type of person who can reap
personal benefits from staying active and feeling useful. Your own cares and
concerns will melt away when you find a way to become involved in helping
others.
Ruler of the First House in the Seventh House
The relationships that you form with other people, such as your marriage partner
or best friends, will represent a high priority for you. Even though you make a
strong impression on other people whether you're aware of it or not you really
care about their opinions and their acceptance of you. Where diplomacy is a
plus, you can teach others something about the fine art of cooperation. You'd
make a fine counselor because of your ability to relate to other people.
Ruler of the First House in the Eighth House
You may have a lot of curiosity about the so-called mysteries of life such as
occult practices and other metaphysical studies. You can develop your psychic
abilities or perhaps you are more drawn to the healing potential found in the
eighth house. You'll likely have an important experience that transforms your life
approach in a major way. Whatever it is, you'll emerge more evolved at a very
deep level of your being. Other people's resources, such as a spouse's money, or
an inheritance, could play a significant role in your life somehow.
Ruler of the First House in the Ninth House
You have a strong interest in broadening your mental experiences, perhaps
through higher education, exploring different philosophies of life, or even
through developing your own ideas about what makes the universe tick. Be
ready to do some long distance traveling during your life. It's in the stars.
Ruler of the First House in the Tenth House
Whatever career you end up in, it's one that you feel a strong sense of identity
with. You may also have a strong identity with your father, or perhaps just
authority figures in general. You have an enhanced sense of duty and
responsibility, which accounts for your sometimes very serious outlook on life.
People know this and they don't mind handing over the controls to you when the
time comes.
Ruler of the First House in the Eleventh House
Your friends, acquaintances and other large groups of people will play important
roles in your life overall. Humanitarian pursuits and organizations dedicated to
some kind of wide-scale social change may become significant to you also. You
may strongly identify with those things that are considered to be ahead of the
times, or with anything that breaks with societal traditions.
Ruler of the First House in the Twelfth House
Your outlook on life can be brought into balance by spending some time alone to
meditate and recharge your batteries. Avoid becoming your own adversary by
falling into the "woe is me" victim trap. Spiritual philosophies that go beyond
traditional orthodox viewpoints can bring revealing insights into your life and the
meaning of it all. You may identify somehow with large public institutions that
provide a service to society, especially the helping professions.

RULER OF THE SECOND HOUSE
Ruler of the Second House in the First House
What you have as far as the money you earn and your possessions influences
your outlook on life, as well as your self image to some extent. Your early
childhood probably influenced your value system and your sense of self worth.
Ruler of the Second House in the Second House
Your finances play an important role with regards to your personal sense of
freedom. Money buys options in life and therefore a degree of liberty. It's more
than likely that you place a high value on money and possessions and you have
strong opinions about handling your own money. You may also have inherited
certain talents which can help increase your cash flow if tapped into and
developed. Think about it.
Ruler of the Second House in the Third House
You feel deeply about communicating in general; especially in regards to your
personal value system. You may increase your money supply through some form
of communication, a teaching situation, or even through your siblings or near
relatives in some way, perhaps by working with them. Additionally, family
relationships are something you feel deeply about and place a high value on.
Money and transportation are linked in your chart. An example would be-you
could make money selling cars, bicycles, motorcycles, etc.
Ruler of the Second House in the Fourth House
You don't mind spending money on your family or your home, because you value
these things deeply. For you, the money that you earn is equal to a strong sense
of security and emotional peace. Money may be earned by working out of your
home, or by being involved in any form of domestic or home related activity.
Real estate sales and property investments would be considerations also.
Ruler of the Second House in the Fifth House
You place a high value on your children, children in general, recreational pursuits
and other creative endeavors. Your income can be connected to making the
most of your creative abilities, socializing with the right people, theatrical
pursuits, or some well thought out "risky ventures."
Ruler of the Second House in the Sixth House
Much of your income may be derived from jobs that you're willing to take in
order to survive and you place a high value on the work ethic. If you can
discover a way to perform duties for others that they would rather avoid, you
could definitely increase your earned income. You feel strongly about taking care
of your body's needs and are interested in hygiene, diet and health matters.
Avoid overindulgence in starchy foods and too many sweets for a start.
Ruler of the Second House in the Seventh House
Your chart indicates that there is a definite connection between your own
resources and the close partnerships you form with other people. What you have
may rest on your ability to balance giving and receiving in partnerships of any
kind, even business relationships. It's likely that you place a very high value on
your committed relationships, whether with your spouse or best friends and you
generally make an extremely loyal partner.
Ruler of the Second House in the Eighth House
Combining your own resources with the assets of other people will potentially
strengthen your own financial picture. Consider indications that support the
handling of other people's money as a way to increase your own income. Your
approach to handling money and your personal value system are subject to
running to extremes; perhaps even a complete overhaul at some point in life.
You could go from rags to riches.
Ruler of the Second House in the Ninth House
You may place high value on higher education, the life enrichment that travel
brings, or perhaps even religious and spiritual concerns. Furthermore, you
probably don't mind spending your money on these kinds of pursuits because
you feel it's cash well spent. There is a strong potential link between your earned
income and making some sort of overseas connections. Running a successful
import/export business is one example. Consider augmenting your inherited
talents with some kind of higher education or specialized training.
Ruler of the Second House in the Tenth House
You have strong feelings about your career or your reputation. In other words,
you really care about your public image. You may also have special inherited
talents and abilities, which when properly utilized can win you some kind of
public recognition eventually. Being in a position of responsibility or authority is
something you place a high value on. Additionally, some of your earnings may be
put back into your career in order to optimize your potential in this area.
Ruler of the Second House in the Eleventh House
You may be someone who chooses to put some of your own money into
supporting a humanitarian cause, or some other kind of organization
representing a cause that you feel strongly about. There's a part of you that
values efforts dedicated to creating changes which have global influence. The
money you earn yourself will assist in the manifestation of your fondest hopes
and wishes. Open up a "dream come true" account for yourself. Your sense of
self worth is supported by the love you receive from others. Do yourself a favor
and hang out with those who assist rather than detract from your causes. Wishes
can come true when the self worth is strong enough to open the door for them.
Ruler of the Second House in the Twelfth House
You place a high value on idealistic concepts such as forgiveness and helping
others altruistically. Or perhaps you have a talent for receiving and perceiving
spiritual guidance, healing and other related metaphysical gifts. There is an
indication that some of your money may go into large public institutions and
charities, or you may earn money through them somehow. If you ever
experience periods where your feelings of self worth are below par and are
interfering with a solid sense of security, then you may benefit from some
professional analysis sessions. Likewise, meditation can be a self help technique
that will stimulate positive self awareness.
RULER OF THE THIRD HOUSE
Ruler of the Third House in the First House
You enjoy sharing whatever is going on in your life with others and one of the
primary ways that you relate to people is by using your conversational skills to
the utmost. Childhood experiences, especially those that happened during your
early school years, could have significantly shaped your outlook on life. Other
important figures may have included close relatives, particularly a brother or
sister.
Ruler of the Third House in the Second House
Your mind runs along moneymaking ideas and anything that has to do with
communicating ideas. Writing and teaching could add to your personal income.
Here also is the possibility that you have a pleasant sounding voice and perhaps
even some singing ability.
Ruler of the Third House in the Third House
You have a strong desire to communicate your ideas, whether verbally or in
written form and you may also be quite a talker. Something about your early
childhood had a profound bearing your thinking and learning processes. This can
also indicate that siblings, relatives and others in your immediate environment
can play a very important role in your life. You'll get a lot of personal satisfaction
from becoming involved with neighborhood and community projects because it's
not in your best interest to seclude yourself away from social activities.
Ruler of the Third House in the Fourth House
You think and talk about your home and family life. You think a lot about your
upbringing and you may have a good deal of communication with your mother or
your parents in general. A near relative may live with you at some point in life. If
you have brothers or sisters, one of them may have played a parental role. Any
brothers and sisters may become closer to you later in life.
Ruler of the Third House in the Fifth House
You probably communicate well with your children especially the first or even
children in general. One or more of your brothers and sisters can be like your
own children. You think and/or talk about love, love affairs, or your children.
Many of your ideas are creatively oriented.
Ruler of the Third House in the Sixth House
You put a lot of energy into thinking about the work you do. You share many of
your ideas with coworkers. You think and talk about your health and you can use
mind over matter to influence your own well-being. Think positively. You may
have a tendency to worry too much about minor details and ideas of perfection.
Transportation and travel may play a part in the work you do.
Ruler of the Third House in the Seventh House
Communication with your partner is important. A brother or sister may be like a
best friend to you. You have the ability to influence other people in general with
your ideas and you communicate best on a one-to-one basis.
Ruler of the Third House in the Eighth House
Your mind is tuned into the psychic plane and you can develop these abilities if
you choose. Your thinking, ideas and the way you communicate may go through
a drastic change at some point in life. Your thinking and communications can be
very intense and a childhood experience may have had a strong influence on
your mind. This astrological influence may indicate that a sibling or near relative
may leave you a legacy of some kind though it's difficult to pinpoint what or how
much.
Ruler of the Third House in the Ninth House
Here there exists the opportunity to publish your ideas especially if you have an
interest in writing. You have the ability to understand and talk about
philosophical ideas and abstract theories and you may enjoy thinking and talking
about your personal beliefs or religious ideas. A sibling or near relative may
move a long distance from you or perhaps a relative could have come from a
foreign country. Learning a foreign language could be easy for you. A long
distance move or some kind of cultural change may have been a part of your
childhood experience.
Ruler of the Third House in the Tenth House
Your thinking is geared towards your career goals and chances are your ideas
may come before the public in some way. You speak with authority and you also
want your ideas to come to the attention of your boss or other authority figures.
Your own ability to communicate or anything else involving communications
could play an important role in your career.
A sibling or near relative can have a significant influence on your career or they
themselves may come before the public in some manner.
Ruler of the Third House in the Eleventh House
This indicates that you may think quite a bit about changing the world through
humanitarian or other group efforts. You have many ideas about how to manifest
your fondest hopes and wishes. Your thinking may be a bit radical, ahead of the
times or unusual in some way. You may have a lot of communication with
friends, acquaintances and groups of people.
Ruler of the Third House in the Twelfth House
You keep many of your thoughts to yourself and you are quite capable of
keeping a secret, which is something other people can appreciate. It's natural for
you to understand more abstract spiritual concepts that go beyond traditional
orthodox boundaries. You often speak from the subconscious mind without even
realizing it and past life memories may filter through into your conscious mind.
You can develop your intuition to a high degree. There could have been unclear
circumstances surrounding a brother/sister or a near relative. Or, you may simply
have a strong past life connection with them.
RULER OF THE FOURTH HOUSE
Ruler of the Fourth House in the First House
Your mother or your upbringing influenced your outlook on life or perhaps you
learned at an early age that much of your emotional security foundation is built
on yourself. Your home and private life are a strong part of your identity.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Second House
Real estate and property matters may enhance your income. Your mother or
your upbringing in general influenced your value system. Your family may affect
your money supply or you may find that money and possessions provide a kind
of emotional security for you.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Third House
Childhood experiences had an exceptionally strong influence on your emotional
security foundation. Your upbringing was influenced strongly by a close relative
or relatives and could have been more education oriented than usual.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Fourth House
Your home provides you with a strong sense of safety and security. You are
strongly tied to your family heritage and roots. Your home, family and private life
are important to you.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Fifth House
Your upbringing influenced your attitude towards children. It also influenced your
ability to be creative and to follow your heart's desires.
Your mother may have enjoyed being the center of attention in some capacity or
perhaps she was a very creative person. Real estate and property matters may
be augmented by investment or other forms of speculation.
Your home could be a place of much social activity.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Sixth House
Your sense of security is connected to the work you perform and something
about your upbringing influenced this. Homes or some specific domestic activity
could have a bearing on the work you do. On the other hand, your home may
represent a lot of duty and obligation in your eyes. If you ever considered
catering or opening your own restaurant, this astrological influence supports
those ideas well.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Seventh House
Your sense of security is strongly reinforced by close partnerships. Your home
may become your partner's home or very close friends may live with you. You
could find yourself having to become a strong emotional support for either your
spouse or closest friends.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Eighth House
Something about your upbringing acted as a catalyst for some kind of major life
change. On the other hand it may be that later in life you'll go through an
important and major transformation. This could mean that your deepest beliefs
about what constitutes real security will totally change.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Ninth House
Your mother or your parents may have been from a foreign country, or perhaps,
one or both of them moved far away. This astrological influence can also indicate
that your final home may be far from your place of birth. Your emotional security
is fortified by religious concepts or some kind of firm life philosophy. Your
upbringing may have had a strong influence on your spiritual beliefs. Your
parents had some very high expectations of you.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Tenth House
Your mother was a strong authority figure, or that could just have been the
impression you got as a child. Your security needs are fulfilled through
recognition of your achievements. Your career may take place out of your home.
It's possible that real estate or property matters are linked to your main career.
You may find that you have very little private life and that you have certain
responsibilities that force you into public recognition whether you desire that or
not.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Eleventh House
Your home base may be subject to a lot of changing circumstances beyond your
control or it might just be that your home is unusual in some way. Your
upbringing may have contributed to a desire for radical social change or perhaps
your security needs are fulfilled through belonging to clubs and organizations or
otherwise interacting with people in a common cause.
Ruler of the Fourth House in the Twelfth House
There may have been unclear circumstances surrounding your mother or other
close family members-perhaps mentally creating an idealized version of your
childhood circumstances. You could be a very private person and you feel
emotionally secure even when you are alone. This can also mean that you'll
become more spiritually oriented during the second half of life, perhaps putting
more emphasis on developing that side of yourself.
RULER OF THE FIFTH HOUSE
Ruler of the Fifth House in the First House
Your creative abilities are reflected in your outlook on life and love and romance
are life experiences you strongly identify with. The ability to satisfactorily express
your own will has a positive effect on your outlook and approach to life in
general. Your children especially the first are a reflection of you. Your children or
children in general could be very important to you.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Second House
Financial speculation can increase your income as well as make the most of your
innate creative abilities. If you are a highly creative person then most likely these
are inherited talents. You may have very strong attachments to your children
and your children enhance your feelings of self worth. Recreational activities and
creative projects are part of your value system.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Third House
You enjoy anything related to transportation cars, planes, etc. Your children are
often on your mind and they might even influence your ideas. Children in general
are willing to listen to you. You may enjoy the teaching field.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Fourth House
Love and love affairs may be more fulfilling later in life. Investments and
speculation may be successfully applied to real estate and property matters. Your
children or children in general feel comfortable in your home. Your children may
become like your "parents" later in life. Your creative ideas are often expressed
in your home through decorating, cooking, etc.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Fifth House
You are in love with love and you are usually very socially oriented. You may find
yourself "performing" in some capacity and you enjoy giving birth to new and
creative projects. Paying close attention to your heart's desire and keeping in
touch with your own inner child will promote general happiness and life
satisfaction. Your children most likely the first child may be creative or they may
simply enjoy being the center of attention.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Sixth House
You are creative and goal oriented in your work. You are in love with your work
or the work ethic and perhaps children have a bearing on the work you do. You
either are, or you would like to be, the one who really stands out as exceptional
at the work you do. Much of your social life may take place in and around the
work environment.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Seventh House
Your needs for love and romance are satisfied through marriage and you take a
creative approach when it comes to marriage or other committed one-to-one
partnerships. You may seek to express your will in marriage or other one-to-one
relationships or perhaps these kinds of relationships encourage you to express
yourself openly. Social activities play a large part in your partnerships.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Eighth House
Your attitude towards love and/or love affairs may totally change at some point
in life, or, being in love transforms you in a major way. Love affairs represent
sexual adventure for you. Or, perhaps you are someone who finds it difficult to
separate feelings of love from purely sexual desires. You can be creative with a
spouse's money or other people's money in general because you can develop a
talent for financial speculation.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Ninth House
You have a great respect for higher education and you enjoy foreign cultures
and long distance travel. You may carry on a love affair with someone who lives
far away or who is from a foreign culture. You also enjoy participating in sports,
athletic pursuits or something related to getting away from it all, such as
hunting, camping, or hiking in the mountains.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Tenth House
Your creative urges are put to use in your career and your creativity may become
known publicly. You not only want to be in the spotlight, you also want to
become a respected authority in your field. Your social activities can either
enhance your public image or detract from your reputation. You might be willing
to take gambles with regards to your career.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Eleventh House
One of your children, especially the first, could be like a friend to you. Chances
are your children are unusual in some way. A love affair may turn into a
friendship or the element of friendship is important with regards to those you
become romantically involved with. It's likely that you are attracted to unusual
people. You enjoy socializing with large groups of people and you enjoy putting
your creative abilities to use for humanitarian causes. Some of your goals may
involve creating change on a large social scale. You feel very generous and
loving towards your friends. Becoming socially active helps you manifest your
hopes and wishes.
Ruler of the Fifth House in the Twelfth House
Some of your love affairs may take place behind the scenes or you may choose
to keep your romantic activities to yourself. Given a choice you'd rather keep
your social activities private. You enjoy being by yourself at times and you can
do some of your finest creative work while spending some time alone.
RULER OF THE SIXTH HOUSE
Ruler of the Sixth House in the First House
The work you do affects your outlook on life and your vitality in general. You
could be highly sensitive to weather changes so that they actually influence your
mood and your motivation. You tend to worry too much about the impression
you make on others.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Second House
The health related fields may increase your income. You worry too much about
money and possessions, although you may have good powers of discrimination
when it comes to handling money. You're willing to work diligently for your
money.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Third House
You learned something about the work ethic during your childhood. The work
you do may involve communications, writing, transportation, or teaching what
you know. You may end up working with relatives or you could have family
"karma" with brothers/sisters or other close relatives.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Fourth House
Your work involves the domestic scene or may be related to property and real
estate. You may work from home, or homes in general are involved in some
way. An older relative may live with you or perhaps they just had a significant
effect on your upbringing.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Fifth House
Your work could involve children. You tend to have a lot of worry and concern
about your own children. You want only the best for them.
You would rather have the work you do be very creative or at least it should be
something you get a lot of personal pleasure from. Additionally, the work you do
could have some kind of risk attached to it. If you have pets, you probably treat
them like they were your children.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Sixth House
Your work may involve helping people or performing some kind of service that
they'd rather not do themselves. The work you do may also be related to the
health and/or nutrition field. You worry about your coworkers or your employees
if you have them. Part-time work may appeal to you.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Seventh House
Your work may involve counseling other people if that appeals to you and you
care about what others' opinions are about you. You might be a worrier when it
comes to the welfare of your spouse or closest friends. If you have employees,
you treat them as equals. The same goes for your coworkers. There is also the
chance that you'll end up working with a partner such as your spouse or a best
friend.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Eighth House
The work you do could be supported by your spouse's money or other people's
money in general. Or, your work may simply be related to other people's
resources. The work you do or your attitude towards it may change completely
or perhaps the work you do will transform your lifestyle in a major way. You
might be the sort who worries too much about the question of life after death.
Exploring some spiritual/metaphysical concepts concerning this can help ease
your mind.
You may have healing abilities that can be utilized to help other people.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Ninth House
The work you do may be related to teaching at a higher level or it could be
involved with the publishing or advertising fields. It may require a good deal of
travel or it may be that you simply work outside versus sitting in a traditional
office job. Or, your work may actually be related to your religious/spiritual ideals.
If you own pets, you may prefer large ones to small ones.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Tenth House
You may receive public recognition for the work you do, which could represent
your highest attainment. In other words you can take a rather mundane job and
create a main profession out of it that earns you some recognition.
You are willing to work diligently towards your career aims and your personal
work ethic could have been stimulated by your father's influence on you in some
regard. When it comes to work, you would rather be your own boss or at least in
a position of authority.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Eleventh House
You may be willing to work hard to create major social changes. The work you
do may be subject to sudden circumstances beyond your control or there is
something unusual about it. Your coworkers or your employees may be like
friends, or, work and friendship somehow go hand in hand. Your work may be
related to large groups of people in some way. You may also have a tendency to
worry about your friends and acquaintances. On the other hand, you may be
very discriminating when it comes to them. You'll have to bring some of your
powers of discernment into play when it comes to some of your associates.
Ruler of the Sixth House in the Twelfth House
You're willing to work hard helping other people. Remember, though, that your
health and well-being could very well depend on your ability to say no. Learn to
draw some boundaries on your time and energies.
There might be some family karma issues that stem from past lives scenarios
that will be worked out in this lifetime. Forgiveness may be the key. Too much
worry and concern over details can actually create your own undoing. Perfection
is a fine thing to seek, but compulsive attitudes can prevent you from finishing
what you start.
RULER OF THE SEVENTH HOUSE
Ruler of the Seventh House in the First House
Partnerships, such as marriage or best friends, have an important impact on your
outlook on life. Your partner is a reflection of you and you can gain insight into
some of your own motivations by observing the behavior of those closest to you.
You'll have to be willing to take an honest inventory of yourself in order to learn
from these experiences. Other people in general are strongly influenced by your
personality and you can project more power than you think you can.
Ruler of the Seventh House in the Second House
Your spouse may contribute to your income or you may work closely together to
increase your mutual resources. You'll find that your spouse or your closest
friends often share the same value system. Partnerships or any other significant
one-on-one relationships can boost your money supply and as a result, the
giving and receiving principle will come to the fore.
Ruler of the Seventh House in the Third House
You have a strong mental connection to your partner and your partner may be
able to easily influence your ideas. Partnerships may have a brother/sister quality
about them or perhaps they're like a teacher to you in some regard.
In certain situations, you'll have to learn to firmly stand your ground as other
people may openly oppose some of your ideas.
Ruler of the Seventh House in the Fourth House
Your closest partnerships have a nurturing quality to them. You may need a
partner who will somehow fill emotional needs that were neglected during your
upbringing. When other people don't agree with you, you'll find that it affects
your deepest emotional security issues. Learning to value your own opinions in
the face of opposition will be an important lesson for you to learn.
Ruler of the Seventh House in the Fifth House
You will most likely marry for strong romantic feelings. Your partner may bring
out the child in you or, he/she may stimulate your creativity somehow. They may
also be supportive of your creative endeavors lending encouragement and
support.
You have a close relationship with your children and you'd rather treat them as
equals.
Ruler of the Seventh House in the Sixth House
A close friend or your spouse could become a coworker or even an employee in
some regard. You may meet your marriage partner in your work environment.
Your need for supportive relationships may be fulfilled at work or connected in
some way to the work you do.

Partnerships can become something you depend on quite heavily and you may
attract a partner who tends to be very self oriented. It's possible that you will
experience many relationships before settling into the one that suits you best.
Ruler of the Seventh House in the Eighth House
Other people will support your goals either financially or by lending moral
support. You can counsel other people regarding their finances.
Your attitude towards marriage may undergo a change and a partner can
represent a total change of lifestyle for you.

You may marry based on an overwhelming sexual attraction to someone. You
could actually form a deep intimate bond with someone who feels like a
soulmate. You may have to resist the tendency to become obsessed with a
particular relationship and allow yourself to move on when the time comes.
Ruler of the Seventh House in the Ninth House
Your spouse may be from a foreign country or he/she may simply come from a
culture that is very different from your own background. You might prefer a
living together arrangement with a partner rather than making a legal
commitment. However, it may be that your attitude towards marriage was
heavily influenced by your religious beliefs or your religious upbringing.
Additionally, a partner or even very close friends might be able to influence your
philosophical ideas about spiritual matters.
Ruler of the Seventh House in the Tenth House
Your spouse may want to be the authority figure in the partnership. On the other
hand, you may be the one who wants to "rule the roost" so to speak. A partner
can help you towards your career aims. You could be someone who puts
marriage aside in favor of pursuing your career goals first.
Ruler of the Seventh House in the Eleventh House
Your marriage partner can be very much like a friend to you or the element of
friendship is very important to both of you. You may form a business partnership
with a friend or acquaintance. When it comes to committed relationships, either
you or your partner may need a higher than usual degree of independence even
within the framework of marriage.
Ruler of the Seventh House in the Twelfth House

playing a supportive role from behind-the-scenes in some way. Your partner may

RULER OF THE TWELFTH
Ruler of the Twelfth House in the First House
Your outlook on life is influenced by what is going on subconsciously. Something
about your personality reflects your desire to help other people and they can
easily recognize this. You may experience a time of confusion and doubt about
who you really are and you can be your own worst enemy at times. The most
important person you may have to forgive is yourself.
Ruler of the Twelfth House in the Second House
Past life scenarios can bring up issues to work out regarding finances or what
you have in general. This can stem from past life attitudes about money or
perhaps even your feelings of self worth. You could experience a time of
confusion and doubt about your own self worth. Too much emphasis on the
importance of material possessions can work against you. Experience the
contentment that the simple pleasures of life can offer.
Ruler of the Twelfth House in the Third House
There is a connection between your subconscious mind and your conscious mind
which can manifest as a strong natural intuition. You may receive impressions of
past lives. You may also have past life issues with siblings or other near relatives
and you may experience confusion and doubt about them at some point in life. If
this is the case, you will be called upon to forgive them.
Become aware of the effect that your words can have on others. Blurting things
out can work against you. Pause before you speak, especially if you're angry or
upset. Words are one of the few things you can't take back. They will work for
and not against you, if you put wisdom and tact behind them.

You can more easily get in touch with your subconscious mind while in the
privacy of your own home. You have a past life connection with your mother or
your family in general. You may experience a time of confusion and doubt about
your family or upbringing. If this is the case, you must work on forgiveness in
order to elevate yourself. Making other's opinions of you more important than

Accept yourself fully for what you are.

"channel" inspired thoughts and ideas. You could have a past life connection to

you. Praise the achievements of others. Don't miss the happiness that doing
something for the pure personal enjoyment of it brings.

confusion and doubt about the work you do or your family karma. You will have

the powers of your subconscious mind to influence your health and well-being.

concern over small details can work against you. Inner peace comes by doing
your best and letting go of ideas of absolute perfection.

eventually work against you. Be your own best friend first.
Ruler of the Twelfth House in the Eighth House
You may be able to easily receive past life impressions during your sleep.
Any buried psychological problems you may experience will be purged at some
point and will go through a complete transformation. Trying to control or
manipulate a situation in any way that is not completely aboveboard can
backfire. A direct and open approach to getting what you want can avoid
undesirable repercussions later.
Ruler of the Twelfth House in the Ninth House
Past life experiences have a bearing on your belief systems in this lifetime. You
may have past life connections to your in-laws and you could have issues to

have a kind of predestined involvement with certain organizations and large
groups of people. You may feel a desire to help others through humanitarian
efforts and organizations. You may experience confusion about your friends.
Radical behavior that stems from rebelliousness simply for the sake of upsetting
other people's apple carts can work against you eventually. Look for the common
ground between yourself and others. Humans all have certain fundamental goals
that are similar; the only real difference is the paths taken to achieve them.
Ruler of the Twelfth House in the Twelfth House
Your past lives have an influence on your desire to help other people and you
may choose to perform some kind of service through large public institutions.
You may experience confusion and doubt about certain spiritual matters. You can
more easily get in touch with your subconscious mind, or even receive spiritual
guidance while you are in a meditative state. Allowing feelings of self doubt and
guilt to get the upper hand will eventually work against you. Put the past behind
you. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
DISPOSITORS
The word dispositor means, to dispose of. Dispositorship is a primary factor in
how any planet in any sign manifests, as it provides the background material to
why the planets work as they do. Though each of the planets has their areas of
influence, how that influence works is entirely dependent on what planet rules
the sign they're in.
The sign any planet occupies is affected by the planet that rules that sign. This in
turn is shaded by what sign that ruling planet is in. When a planet rules the sign
another planet is in, we say it disposes, or is the dispositor of, that planet.
That's why it's important to know which signs a given planet rules.
For example, when Mars is in Taurus, it is heavily affected by Venus, which rules
Taurus. That makes the sign Venus occupies important in showing us the
backdrop to how Mars in Taurus energies express themselves.
Indirect dispositors are like a chain of command, i.e. Mars in Gemini is disposited
by Mercury, the ruler of Gemini. If Mercury is in Sagittarius, then Mercury is
disposited by Jupiter. If Jupiter is in Leo, then Jupiter is disposited by the Sun. If
the Sun is in Capricorn, then the Sun is disposited by Saturn. If Saturn ALSO
happens to be in Capricorn, it is called the FINAL DISPOSITOR ruling the other
four planets. A final dispositing planet has great power and dignity. VERY FEW
CHARTS HAVE A FINAL DISPOSITOR. It also requires that there is only one
dignified planet in the chart and no mutual reception.
If two planets disposit each other if they are in each others signs, for example
Uranus in Gemini and Mercury in Aquarius they are said to be in mutual
reception. Mutual reception gives added positive strength and dignity as well as
special talent or ability to both planets as they, get or understand one another.
If both planets are also in compatible signs i.e. Moon in Taurus and Venus in
Cancer, one can still be stronger. In this case the Moon in Taurus where it is
exalted would be the stronger planet. The signs are in a natural sextile
arrangement indicating opportunity. Another example is Mars in Capricorn and
Saturn in Aries. Mars is exalted in Capricorn and Saturn is in Fall. Also by sign,
the aspect is square indicating obstacles and confrontation the energy fights.
Mars however, will dominate and desire and ambition will rule over reserve and
caution
