Saturn is the traditional ruler, Uranus the modern ruler. In terms of a writing career, 3rd lord in 12th would mean that you try to achieve your 3rd house goals via 12th house topics, i.e. spiritual themes (instead of societal themes if in 11th). So there's a difference in depth and scope.Thank you much, muchacho. What you wrote seems pretty encouraging. I do have a follow up question if you don't mind. My 3rd house has two rulers, I believe, Saturn and Uranus. Saturn, as you mentioned, is well positioned, but I notice that Uranus is in the 12th house. How does that placement (Uranus in 12th) affect a possible career as a writer? Do you have any thoughts on this?
