Is Nakshtra Lordship Misconceived !

Is Nakshatra Lordship Misconceived!
(Reproduced from Modern Astrology Dec 2017)

What is the meaning of "lordship" in predictive astrology? We understand that every zodiacal sign is ruled by a certain planet, yet each sign also possesses its own distinct traits. For instance, the signs Aries and Scorpio are both ruled by Mars, but their properties are not identical. Though both signs exhibit a somewhat aggressive nature akin to Mars, they also possess significant individual characteristics that do not necessarily align completely with each other or with their ruler, Mars. Therefore, one should not be overly rigid with the meaning of "lord" or "ruler." I would suggest the term "representative" as a more fitting alternative, though there is no harm in using "lord" or "ruler" in a general sense.
