Sounds like the Term-lord arrangement preempts, or at least strongly competes, with the concept that the Signs themselves contribute Qualities to the Significators. It also ups the stakes on finding the right Ayanamsa for Siderealists,....
Like this is none of my business since I am staying out of this conversation for the most part.
But David, this is such elementary concept.
I don’t know much about traditional astrology, am very new and quite limited in scholarlyship. But to my understanding, the term lord elucidates, refines, augments a sign’s influence on asignificator. The term lord does not “preempt” or “compete”; the term lord IS a constituent part of the sign.
It is hard for me to understand why you would choose to assert yourself so strongly in the discussion of traditional astrology when being unschooled in what seems to be such fundamental aspects of how things work in that line of thought. And this is just a gentle FYI (for what it is worth ): I think it may be this misplaced strong assertion, reflected by such notions as “competitiveness” or “preemptiveness” or “upping the stakes,” that gives the flavor or appearance of trolling?
