In astrology, a planet's domicile (or less commonly house, not to be confused with the astrological house system) is the zodiac sign over which it has rulership.

History
The assignments of the ruling planets appear to be based upon the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere, as the sun and moon, the principal bearers of light and heat, were awarded to Leo and Cancer, respectively since the months the sun passed through these signs (in ancient times) were the warmest and had the longest days. Northern Hemisphere is the half of a Planet that is North of the Equator —the word hemisphere literally means 'half ball' The Sun (Sol is the Star at the center of the Solar System. Leo is the fifth Astrological sign of the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Leo. Cancer is the fourth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Cancer. The month is a unit of Time, used with Calendars which is approximately as long as some natural period related to the motion of the Moon;
Conversely, Saturn, the most distant (and hence the "coldest") of the planets known to ancients, was accorded the rulership of Aquarius and Capricorn, the signs opposite Leo and Cancer, respectively. Aquarius is the eleventh Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation Aquarius. Capricorn is the tenth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Capricornus.
Jupiter, being next furthest away, was given the signs on either side of Aquarius and Capricorn (Pisces and Sagittarius), and Mars, next in order, received the next two (Aries and Scorpio). Pisces is the twelfth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, which originates from the Pisces constellation. Sagittarius is the ninth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Sagittarius. Aries, the ram, is the first Astrological sign in the Zodiac. Scorpius ( Latin for Scorpion, symbol, Unicode ♏ is one of the Constellations of the Zodiac.
Since Mercury never appears more than one sign from the sun in either direction, it was deemed to rule the two signs on either side of Leo and Cancer (Virgo and Gemini), and since Venus can never be found more than two signs from the Sun, it obtained the rulership of Libra and Taurus. Virgo is the sixth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Virgo. Gemini is the third Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Gemini. The VENUS ( V ictoria E xperimental N etwork U nder the S ea project is a cabled sea floor observatory operated by the University Libra is the seventh Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Libra. Taurus is the second Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Taurus.
The discovery of planets outside of the geocentric field of vision in modern times provided a dilemma for astrologers, which most eventually resolved by a general consensus declaring Uranus to be Aquarius's ruling planet, while assigning Neptune to Pisces and later, Pluto was given to Scorpio. Neptune ( English|AmE] ] is the eighth and farthest Planet from the Sun in the Solar System. Pisces is the twelfth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, which originates from the Pisces constellation.
Some modern authorities uses the concept of "night rulerships" to find room for the additional dignities. Uranus was designated the day ruler of Aquarius while Saturn was to be its night ruler. Similarly, Neptune was the day ruler of Pisces, leaving Jupiter as the night ruler, and Pluto was the day ruler of Scorpio with Mars as the night ruler. This notion probably had its origin in the concept of astrological sect, but this was the only vestige of sect in the modern tradition. Sect is an ancient Astrological concept in which the seven traditional "planets" (including the Sun, the Moon and the five Starry planets Unfortunately, no allowance was made for these modern suggestions in the complex traditional doctrine of essential dignities, but the idea was very popular. In Astrology, essential dignity is the strength of a Planet or point's Zodiac position weighed by only that position by sign and degree or its
The use of dual rulerships in a manner such as this was also be known as "co-rulership". Some astrologers believed that the new co-rulers were primary rulers of the signs with which they were associated and may have been sole rulers of those signs, and if that was the case, two other planets, one linked to Libra or Taurus, and the other to Virgo or Gemini, may await discovery, thus eliminating the need for dual rulership of a sign altogether. Libra is the seventh Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Libra. Taurus is the second Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Taurus. Virgo is the sixth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Virgo. Gemini is the third Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Gemini. Although the status of Ceres is unknown at the moment in astrology, due to its new definition as a dwarf planet, it has been suggest as the ruler of Virgo or Taurus. Ceres (ˈsɪəriːz Virgo is the sixth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Virgo. Taurus is the second Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Taurus. For some modern astrologers it is the ruling planet of Virgo and co-ruler of the 6th house with Mercury, and for some others the ruling planet of Taurus and the 2nd house with Venus. Virgo is the sixth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Virgo. Taurus is the second Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Taurus. The possibility exists that it isn't involved with any sign, but n any event, it can almost definitely be attributed to the Earth element.
Rulership of Houses
Many modern astrologers assign what is called a 'natural' rulership of each house of the horoscope to a different planet, in the same way as the zodiac signs are said to have rulers. Most horoscopic traditions of astrology systems divide the Horoscope into a number (usually twelve of houses whose positions depend on time and location rather Planets in astrology have a meaning different from the modern astronomical understanding of what a planet is. Traditionally, however, rulership of houses was understood to apply only in the individual birth-chart, in what is called an 'accidental' rulership. In this case, co-rulership of a house in the 'native's' horoscope is shared by planets that rule the sign on the cusp and any sign intercepted within the house and planets occupying that house. There are several different scenarios that one can use to determine rulership of a house:-
- If by chance the first house cusp is, say, 0 degrees Aries and the second house cusp is 0 degrees Taurus, the house will be ruled solely by Aries. Aries ( ram, symbol, Unicode ♈ is one of the Constellations of the Zodiac.
- If, for example, the second house cusp is 0 degrees Taurus and the third house cusp is 5 degrees Gemini then the house will have Venus as its primary ruler and Mercury as its secondary ruler.
- If, as an example, the fourth house cusp as 27 degrees Libra on it and the fifth house cusp has 8 degrees Sagittarius then the house will be intercepted. It will have Venus as its primary ruler, but in addition to Venus, Pluto, Mars, and Jupiter will be secondary rulers.
When a person attempts to determine the rulership of a house, the more planets or bodies that rule that house will reveal its complexity. Generally, the sign on the cusp will be the outward representation of the rulership, but the ruler of the sign inside the house will not be readily apparent, but will manifest itself at critical points in a person's life.
As in the case of intercepted houses, the sign that is in the middle of the house is the sign that the native must transcend before he can progress to the next phase of the house's rulership. Therefore, as in the previous example, if a house is intercepted with the sign of Scorpio then the native must will be initially presented with many Libran qualities, but must work through those very intense issues of sex, death and regeneration before he will be able to enjoy the benefits of Jupiter, which will be the last and ultimate state the native must work through before he has fully experienced all of the aspects of that house.

In Astrology, the fall of a planet is the sign or "zoidion" which is opposite that planet's sign of exaltation. [4]
Furthermore, the ancients assigned domal dignity to the North and South nodes of the Moon, although these do not qualify as rulerships since the nodes do not have governance over any signs. The lunar nodes are the Orbital nodes of the Moon, that is the points where the orbit of the Moon crosses the Ecliptic (which is the apparent However, the nodes are said to act more comfortably and reliably in those places:
Some discontent exist within the Western astrological community about some of the signs that are often still said to share rulers. The lunar nodes are the Orbital nodes of the Moon, that is the points where the orbit of the Moon crosses the Ecliptic (which is the apparent Gemini is the third Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Gemini. The lunar nodes are the Orbital nodes of the Moon, that is the points where the orbit of the Moon crosses the Ecliptic (which is the apparent Sagittarius is the ninth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Sagittarius. Many suggestions have been made, but consensus could actually take centuries, as it did in the cases of Uranus and Neptune.
Dispositors
A dispositor is a delineation of planetary rulership in relation to the signs. For instance if Mercury is in Libra, its dispositor is Venus, if Venus is in turn in Sagittarius, its dispositor is Jupiter, and if Jupiter is Cancer its dispositor is the Moon. This process continues until there is a final dispositor (sign in its own rulership) or it circles around in a never ending chain of command.
Usage
Classical astrologers whose methods are rooted in traditional methods do not use any of the outer planets not recognized by the ancients as the rulers of any of the 12 signs, preferring the traditional rulership scheme.
On the other hand, most modern, psychologically-oriented astrologers do use the outer planets as ruling planets of those particular three signs listed above. Many others also use the ancient rulers while using the modern planets as the co-ruler of those signs.
Other astrologers do not use any of the planets as sign rulers(Cosmobiologists, Uranian astrologers, Hamburg School of Astrology, other groups/individuals), preferring to focus more on the astrological aspects and other portions of the horoscope instead. Historically the term 'Kosmobiologie' was used by the German medical astrologer Dr Friedrich Feerhow and Swiss statistician Karl Krafft in a more general sense "to Uranian astrology is a relatively recent methodological approach to Astrology based on teachings of German surveyor / Astrologer Alfred The Hamburg School of Astrology originated in Hamburg Germany, and revolved around the research and teachings of surveyor/ Astrologer /amateur Astronomer In Astrology, an aspect is an Angle the planets make to each other in the horoscope and also to the ascendant midheaven descendant and nadir In Astrology, a horoscope is a chart or diagram representing the positions of the Sun Moon planets the Astrological aspects, and sensitive angles
Most astrologers practicing Vedic astrology (Jyotish) only use the traditional rulership system and have been doing so consistently for quite some time. An astrologer practices one or more forms of Astrology. Typically an astrologer draws a Horoscope for the time of an event such as a person's birth and interprets Jyotiṣa ( Sanskrit jyotiṣa, from jyótis- "light heavenly body" also spelled Jyotish and Jyotisha in English
