Neptune will also play a role if any planets are in Pisces between 0-7 degrees. If a house cusp or angle is at 29 degrees of any sign, the following sign's ruler will be the house's co-ruler.

The planetary hours are an ancient system in which one of the seven classical planets is given rulership over each day and various parts of the day.

Planetary symbols are used in astrology and traditionally in astronomy to represent a classical planet (which includes the Sun and the Moon) or one of the modern planets.
