Lord/La·dy (of a Zo·di·a·cal Sign)
/ˈlɔːd ˈleɪ.di (əv ə ˌzoʊ.di.æk.əl saɪn)/
A planet regarded as having authority over a zodiacal sign. This rulership may be by domicile, exaltation, triplicity, or by control of a specific bound or term within the sign. The Greek words are kýrios (lord) and kyría (lady).
In the Hellenistic system, every portion of the zodiac is seen as belonging to a planetary ruler that acts as its overseer or host. The most central type of rulership is the domicile, where a planet is said to “reside” in its own sign and express its nature most purely. Other forms of rulership—exaltation, triplicity, and the bounds—reflect subtler layers of planetary influence distributed across the zodiac. Recognizing which planet serves as the kýrios or kyría of a place helps the astrologer understand how that sector of the chart functions and how its themes are directed or expressed through the planet’s condition.
