Rulership

A planet in rulership has the ability, power and unquestionable right to perform its duty. It may be misguided or ineffective if it is cadent , retrograde or badly aspected but when in rulership it will fulfil its promise.

The analogy is of a person in their own home, on their territory, in change and confident. This is the King or Queen on their throne, born to it and unchallengable. It is the person who belongs to the majority culture of his or her country who is comfortable in their own home. Such people are strong in the eyes of the law, in control, unquestionable and able to enact their ideas or plans.

Greg Chappell
7 Aug 1945 , 7.30am, Adelaide SA

Gregory Stephen Chappell played 87 Australia Test Cricket matches for Australia between 1970 and 1984, captaining Australia on 48 occasions from 1975 to 1983. He was the first Australian to exceed 7,000 runs in Test Cricket surpassing Sir Donald Bradman's mark of 6996 runs. He scored 7,111 runs in Test Cricket, surpassed only by Alan Border.

Greg has his Sun conjunct the Asc in rulership in Leo. It rules his 1st H and is therefore Lord of the chart. This disposits his Saturn and Mercury supporting them in all their efforts. He also has his Jupiter in the 4th H in rulership in Sag trining the Asc. It is Lord of the IC & the 5th. Both are powerful and well placed planets.

Being a sportsman would be, by the ancients, considered an unusual career (a gladiator was a slave or of the lowest rank). Mars and Saturn in detriment support this career choice. The planets in rulership give him the success and fame.

At the time of his retirement Greg Chappell held the record for the most catches in test Cricket - 122, and the most runs scored in a single test match - 380 against New Zealand at Wellington in 1975. He has been appointed State Manager of Cricket by the South Australian Cricket Association.

Task
Think of an area in your life where you are at your strongest. This may be at your work, or in your home, maybe in your kitchen or tool shed. The area of your life where you are in total control is where you are in "rulership", for this is where you are unquestionable, unchallengeable and your wishes are put into action without even thinking there may be other opinions.
