In astrology, a planet that rules another planet's sign; the governing planet in a chart reading.
From Latin dispositor (one who arranges). Used in astrological terminology since the medieval period to describe hierarchical relationships between planets in horoscopes.
Medieval astrologers created the concept of 'dispositors' to explain why planets in certain signs were more or less powerful—it's one of astrology's attempts to create a logical system, even if the system itself isn't scientifically valid.
