House lord

Also called: bhava lord, house lords

The graha that rules a bhava, set by the sign sitting on that house. Core of a Vedic read: you interpret a house partly through where its lord sits, since the lord carries that house's affairs wherever it goes (its own house, sign, and dignity all colour how the house plays out).
