Mas·ter
/ˈmæs.tər/
A planet identified as the primary ruler of a zodiacal sign, often the domicile lord, which holds governing influence over that sign’s expression.
In Hellenistic astrology, the term master reflects the concept of a planet exerting control or authority over the qualities of a specific sign. This designation helps astrologers determine which planetary energy directs the character, tendencies, and potential actions associated with that sign. While other rulerships, like exaltation or triplicity, may play a role, the master signifies the central guiding influence. The Greek term despotēs conveys the idea of lordship or stewardship over a sign’s domain.
