Statement

A planet is the 'dispositor' of any planet located in a sign it rules, and generally makes that planet function according to its own nature (a benefic dispositor softens a malefic, and vice versa); but several strong tenant planets can outweigh and recolor their dispositor. One planet may become the 'final dispositor' of the whole chart (when all planets reduce, through sign-lordship chains, to signs it rules), becoming very strong and marking the person's planetary type. 'Any planet can come to function like any other.'

Note

Standard Jyotisha doctrine of dispositorship (claimed-classical; Frawley conduit). Depends on sign-rulerships (the ras- entities, Signs theme). Mechanism of planetary friendship/enmity is referenced (p.76) but its table is not given in this chapter.
