The focus of this book is house dispositorships: if the planet that rules one house is in this other house, what is the significance of that combination? This is a technique that comes from traditional astrology, and I'm delighted that another book has been written about it, aimed toward students of modern astrology. However, I am too much a traditional astrologer myself to fully enjoy it; Oken's use of the modern rulerships (using Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto as the rulers of Aquarius, Pisces, and Scorpio respectively—he also flirts with the idea of Pluto as a co-ruler of Aries) resulted in my arguing with the book more than getting anything useful out of it. I recommend this book for modern astrologers, but would warn traditional astrologers that it may be too frustrating to be worth the reading time. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A practical and thorough treatment on the meanings of all aspects of planetary and house rulerships, Rulers of the Horoscope : Finding Your Way Through the Labyrinth is the definitive sourcebook on this topic. Alan Oken masterfully guides you through the labyrinth of delineating and synthesizing the complex interchange between rulers of houses and their signs and the nature of the houses they occupy and rule. He defines and describes derivative houses, planetary and house rulerships, dispositorships, mutual reception and the compatibility and nature of importance of their placement in the horoscope. The astrological charts of well-known people are illustrated with detailed descriptions of planetary relationships, their positive and negative aspects, and the traditional and modern interpretation of the houses. Alan Oken's in-depth exploration of the ruler for each of the twelve houses and the rulers of the rising sign is an invaluable tool for astrology students and teachers alike.

The first section deals with planets, their strengths and debilitations in the various signs. There's some theories, like Mercury not performing well in Libra (but it's an air sign!!) which were very curious to me. He doesn't explain his justifications, which I found baffling, but...*shrugs*. Oken uses both the traditional and modern sign rulers. His flexibility may rankle some people.
The second section deals with the chart rulers and their aspects to each other. This I quite enjoyed.
On overall, I could foresee this as a keeper, for any serious astrology student looking to grasp both the intuitive and logical parts of chart interpretation. ( )
