Final Dispositors

[Hydra]

I have found that a 'final dispositor' of a chart can be very helpful in giving a particular 'slant' or focus to a chart. But often there is more than one 'final' dispositor, especially when several planets are 'dignified' (in their own signs), or say, 2 planets dispose each other (e.g. Sun in Aq. and Uranus in Leo, etc.).

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions with regard to several 'final dispositors', especially in terms of the individual groups of planets each such dispositor 'reduces' to ? Thankyou.

As far as I know, the final depositer only becomes significant if there is only one of them. If you have more than one, then it is meaningless. That is the traditional rules, but if you can come up with a reason why astrologers should consider more than one 'final' depositer, then I, for one, would be interested to know.

So, you are saying that more than one 'dispositer' makes the issue of 'dispositors'...meaningless? (according to 'traditional' astrologolical 'rules)'. So, if there is more than one 'dispositor', does that mean that the idea/concept of dispositors is irrelevant ? Have to query that because it would seem perhaps, that if there is more than one, wouldn't each need its expression, and 'speak', at different times - according to transits, progressions and so on ?

I am not arguing with what you say, admin. It was just that I was taught you only count them when there is one. But I suppose it is a bit like astrological 'weights' - it often turns out that you you get 2 elements or modalities of equal weight and, as you say, each will have to find expression.
