Zodiac Signs

It's important to note that the modern lordships of some signs (e.g., Uranus for Aquarius and Neptune for Pisces) are a more recent development in astrology. Traditional astrology only recognized the classical lordships as mentioned above. Some astrologers still prefer to use the traditional rulers, while others incorporate the modern rulers in their readings for a more comprehensive analysis.
