Dispositorship
Planets project the influence of the planets located in the signs they rule. When, for example, Saturn and Mars are located in Cancer, the sign of the Moon, the Moon may take upon their negative natures. A planet is said to be the dispositor of the planets located in the signs that it rules. Generally it will rule over them and make them function according to its nature. If Saturn is in Sagittarius, for example, Jupiter will gain power over it and it will be less malefic than usual. However, if...

The Orientation Of The Sidereal Zodiac
Western astrology orients the zodiac to the point of the vernal equinox. This it marks as the beginning of the sign Aries, as we have indicated. Vedic astrology, on the other hand, according to my interpretation, orients the zodiac to the galactic center, to the central galactic Sun, whose influence comes to us through the fixed stars of the constellation Sagittarius.
