[JUPITERASC]

In astrology, ​

SPECIFICALLY TRADITIONAL ASTROLOGY

the concept of rulership refers to the relationship between planets and zodiac signs. Each of the 7 classical planets—Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—rules over a specific sign or signs, influencing the characteristics and energies of those signs. For instance, the Sun rules Leo, imparting vitality, creativity, and leadership qualities, while the Moon rules Cancer, fostering emotional sensitivity and intuition. These planetary rulers help define the core traits of the zodiac signs they govern.​

This system of rulership highlights the connection between the cosmos and human behavior. The planets, through their ruling signs, shape our personalities, tendencies, and reactions. For example, Mercury, ruling Gemini and Virgo, is associated with communication, intellect, and analytical thinking, guiding how individuals under these signs process information and interact with the world. Understanding these rulerships allows astrologers to gain deeper insights into a person’s astrological profile, revealing the underlying influences at play in their life.​

Planets Influencing Other Planets ​

The significations of any planet
are further characterized by relationship with other planets
Consider this:
different areas of life are not neatly separate
but interact in interesting ways.
These interactions differ from person to person
as well as over the course of one’s life.
The way that planets influence the significations of other planets
and houses
helps to characterize the complexity and nuance inherent in life.

BACK ON TRADITIONAL BOARD
THIS THREAD TOPIC

Don't fixate on exaltations
The entire doctrine has cultural errors/translation errors.
e.g.
The Chaldeans said
the first dexter trine for diurnal stars
and the first dexter sextile for nocturnal stars
is their exaltations.

okay so

DIURNAL STARS
Sun's first dexter trine is Aries.
Saturn's first dexter trine is Libra. Okay so far.
Jupiter's first dexter trine is Leo, but that isn't his exaltation.
Instead they move Jupiter to Pisces
which makes no sense - a diurnal planet in 12th place
- & feminine place & sign
- would make Scorpio the dexter trine
except they then use sinister trine to Cancer.
- so that's messed up

NOCTURNAL STARS
Moon's dexter sextile is Taurus
- it is Pisces for Venus so that's okay
but
then they use Aries for Mars
You don't want an Aries Mars in a nocturnal chart.
You want Mars in Scorpio and the dexter sextile would be Virgo.

The doctrine is Sun exalted at Aries 19°.
Not based on fixed stars? There's nothing at Aries 19°.
There's a fixed star at Aries 20° but not a nice star.
Which raises another issue
because Aries 19° is an empty degree.
The full degrees were based on fixed stars being there
and
the empty degrees were just cold empty space
and
since those stars have moved on
- have to find the new positions of the fixed stars
to determine the full and empty degrees.
No-one does that in chart readings.

Depending on who you read
Aries 19° is either a masculine
or feminine degree
- having Sun exalted in a feminine degree
isn't making any sense
- is all wrong because of bad readings of the texts.

There's a difference between Sun in Aquarius
and Sun in Aquarius opposing a planet in Leo
i.e.
Sun frustrates that planet not because he's in Aquarius
but because he's opposing a planet.

PLANETS RULE SIGNS - Each house has a SIGN
Impossible to have a planet in every house
HOWEVER
Having an empty House
doesn't mean having no events signified by that house
i.e.
with no planets in an empty house
those areas of life
are addressed by
the planet ruling the SIGN on that house

THUS
A planet can occupy a house
without having influence over the affairs of that house.

To get to know the HOUSE INFLUENCE
you look to the planet that RULES the house.
The ruler of a house
is the planet the rules the SIGN on the cusp of that house.
i.e.

The planet that RULES a house
is in charge of the affairs of that house
and is the manager of that part of your life.
When something goes wrong in the affairs of a house
the planet that rules that house takes action to address the problem.
And the way the problem is addressed
with that particular part of your life
is determined by
THE NATURE of the ruling planet of the SIGN

A planetary ruler is given to each sign
&
that planetary ruler
is said to have
a more powerful influence when located there.

In astrology, the concept of rulership connects each zodiac sign to a governing planet, emphasizing specific energies and traits. The seven classical planets, visible to the naked eye, rule over the 12 zodiac signs. The Sun rules Leo, and the Moon rules Cancer, highlighting individuality and emotions, respectively. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo (communication and intellect), Venus rules Taurus and Libra (love and harmony), Mars rules Aries and Scorpio (action and drive), Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces (expansion and wisdom), and Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius (structure and discipline). This system deepens astrological interpretations, connecting planetary energies to personality traits.
