In this exciting new book, Dr. Lehman recovers an important ancient
aspect of astrology which has become misunderstood and diluted;
rulerships. By attempting to simplify astrology, contemporary sources
have completely obscured the essential differences between planet, sign,
and house. While the novice may benefit from this simplification, much
of the old logic of the rulership system is covered up. By researching
ancient manuscripts and sources, the ancient system of essential
dignities or planetary rulerships is recovered and made available once
again to the contemporary astrologer. What was nearly lost is given new
power and the potential for understanding. A wealth of information is
presented in a clear and concise way with many accurate charts.
