I am confused by the "final dispositor" thing. As far as I am aware, there are three different ways to do it:
1) by sign. You look at the sign the planet is in and then find where the ruler of that planet is, until you get to an end. Simple.
2) by house. You look at the house the planet is in, and you use the relation of that house to a sign (eg house 1 = aries, etc), and use that to find the next house ruler. This one gets kind of sticky, but the Pullen calculator will do that for you.
3) by cusp. It's essentially the same as by sign, except instead of finding the ruler of the sign the planet is actually in, you look for the ruler of the sign of the cusp of the house is in. Eg if you have Mercury in Libra but it's in 8th house that starts in Leo, you go looking for the sun next instead of Venus.
Needless to say all of these can produce very different answers. Is there a best way to do it?
