Q. I am rather bugged by the fact that a few signs have two rulers, yet the others just one. Feels really arbitrary, and leaves me wondering how rulership could really be that accurate at all; if, any time a new planet shows up, it just gets shoehorned into the system.
Just bothers me, maybe my virgo side wanting everything to be neat and tidy.

Dawn Bodrogi says: Take it from a double Virgo, it isn’t arbitrary.Cancer and Leo are ruled by the lights (Moon, Sun) representing the primal archetype. After that we are sandwiched by two Mercury signs (Gem/Virgo), two Venus signs (Taurus, Libra), two Mars signs (Aries/Scorpio), two Jupiter signs (Sag, Pisces) and two Saturn signs (Cap/Aquarius). In each pairing, one is considered masculine/active and one feminine/receptive. The outer planet assignments also make sense esoterically, but I’m afraid it is rather a longer explanation than I can give here. It has to do with the aspect formed between the two outer planet rulers.
