Luminary Rulers and Bound Rulers of the Lot of Fortune
According to Firmicus Maternus, in addition to the Lord of the Fortune, the domicile or bound ruler of the Moon (for nocturnal figures) or Sun (for diurnal ones) serves as an indicator of matters pertaining to the Lot of Fortune. If essentially or accidentally dignified by sign or house placement, and in aspect to the Lot of Fortune, it brings good luck, especially if also in good aspect to the luminary over which it rules.
Where the domicile and bound rulers of the luminary concerned, or those of the Lot of Fortune, are not the same planet, whichever has most power (judged from essential and accidental dignities combined with aspects received) is of most significance. If a benefic and dignified by sign and house placement, or closely conjunct an angle (as measured by degrees) in an angular house and in aspect to the Lot, it indicates a great, noble life. If only roughly within an angular house, it indicates a moderate life unoppressed by want. If both domicile and bound rulers of the Lot of Fortune are in signs of their domicile and exactly angular, or in signs of their exaltation or joy, the fortune will be exceptionally great. If the bound ruler of the Moon, and the domicile and bound rulers of the Lot of Fortune, are all in their own domiciles or signs of joy or exaltation or angular, imperious power of a worldwide nature is portended.
If none of the domicile and bound rulers of the Lot of Fortune and the bound ruler of the Moon is well-placed, the individual will be oppressed by ill-fortune throughout life, unless this is alleviated over time by a benefic in the seventh or tenth house that is favorably placed with respect to its condition (diurnal nocturnal).
