Everyone has a Lord or a Lady of their chart. It is the ruler of your Ascendent. As this is fairly ancient ye olde worlde astro, a lot of peeps think you should consider the ‘old’ rulers to be in effect. eg; If you have Pisces Rising, you would say you are ‘ruled’ by Jupiter, not Neptune. But I don’t bother with this because I have Aquarius Rising and I’d rather be Uranian than Saturnine.
So, the idea is not that you owe allegiance to some feudal overlord or capricious dame such as the Moon BUT that you keep a v.close eye on the Lord/Lady as it is v.likely to be super-significant. You might also like to think in terms of developing/enhancing some of the qualities associated with that planet. eg; Say you have Aries Rising – Mars is your Lord…You would do well to be actively competitive & move hard on winning in the areas of the chart where Mars is transitting.
The chart ruler is v.important in Horary astrology, where you ask a question and run a chart for the moment of the question.
