Birth Chart Reading

House Lords

Master the concept of house lordship and how ruling planets influence different life areas.

Overview

House lords are the ruling planets of the twelve houses in a birth chart. The position and condition of house lords determine the strength and results of their respective houses.

Each house has a natural significator, but the house lord's placement becomes crucial for understanding how that life area will manifest. A well-placed house lord brings positive results to its house, while a poorly placed lord may cause difficulties.

Understanding house lordship is essential for making accurate predictions about specific life areas like career, marriage, health, and wealth.

How House Rulers Work

Each house is ruled by the planet that governs the sign falling on that house cusp. For example, if Aries falls on the 5th house, Mars becomes the 5th house lord.

The house lord's position by house and sign determines how the significations of that house will manifest in life. A strong house lord in a favorable position brings good results to its house.

Special attention should be paid to the Ascendant lord (1st house lord) as it represents the overall life direction and personality.
