Memorize the sphere of influence of each House. Know each house as well as you can. After this, House Rulers will be, relatively, easy. Without a fluid understanding of what each house rules, you will struggle. Like anything else in Astrology, doing is learning. Try to do charts and ask people, if you are right. As you know, there are many levels to a chart. House Rulers is a study of House to House interaction, so if something does not seem right,there will be other factors to explain it, beyond House Rulers. However, with the correct time, House Rulers are, rarely, wrong, in my experience. To pull back and explain House Rulers, so we do not lose the forest for the trees. The purpose of House Rulers is to show the SPHERES of life which are important to a person and how they interact to make up that person’s world ,world view and literal life experience.We do not deal with the IDENTITY of planets, here. Planets are, simply, identified as “Ruler of the First House”, “Ruler of the Second House” etc. So, if one person’s “Ruler of the First House” is the Moon and another persons “Ruler of the First House” is Pluto, it makes no difference.

Interpretations from
http://www.skyviewzone.com/astrology/houserulerships.htm
Ruler of the 6th in the 5th
Your work could involve children. You tend to have a lot of worry and concern about your own children. You want only the best for them.
You would rather have the work you do be very creative or at least it should be something you get a lot of personal pleasure from. Additionally, the work you do could have some kind of risk attached to it. If you have pets, you probably treat them like they were your children.
Ruler of the 7th in the 5th
You will most likely marry for strong romantic feelings. Your partner may bring out the child in you or, he/she may stimulate your creativity somehow. They may also be supportive of your creative endeavors lending encouragement and support.
You have a close relationship with your children and you’d rather treat them as equals.
Ruler of the 3rd in the 8th
Your mind is tuned into the psychic plane and you can develop these abilities if you choose. Your thinking, ideas and the way you communicate may go through a drastic change at some point in life. Your thinking and communications can be very intense and a childhood experience may have had a strong influence on your mind. This astrological influence may indicate that a sibling or near relative may leave you a legacy of some kind though it’s difficult to pinpoint what or how much.
Ruler of the 4th in the 8th
Something about your upbringing acted as a catalyst for some kind of major life change. On the other hand it may be that later in life you’ll go through an important and major transformation. This could mean that your deepest beliefs about what constitutes real security will totally change.
Ruler of the 9th in the 8th
You want to keep expanding your ability to bond deeply with another person. Your life philosophy or your spiritual beliefs will go through a major transformation at some point in life. Your philosophy on life may be associated with metaphysical practices.
You could experience spiritual or other supernatural occurrences while you are in the dream state.
Ruler of the 1st in the 9th
You have a strong interest in broadening your mental experiences, perhaps through higher education, exploring different philosophies of life, or even through developing your own ideas about what makes the universe tick. Be ready to do some long distance traveling during your life. It’s in the stars.
Ruler of the 5th in the 9th
You have a great respect for higher education and you enjoy foreign cultures and long distance travel. You may carry on a love affair with someone who lives far away or who is from a foreign culture. You also enjoy participating in sports, athletic pursuits or something related to getting away from it all, such as hunting, camping, or hiking in the mountains.
Ruler of the 8th in the 9th
Some of your dreams may actually be soul travels that occur on the astral plane. You feel intensely about your philosophy on life and what you believe in and yet, these ideas can go through major evolutions and shifts as time goes on. You can combine traditional religious concepts with metaphysical ideas. You can create major change in your life with higher education and by making overseas connections either through people from other cultures or just traveling for the fun of it.
Ruler of the 10th in the 9th
Your career could require long distance travel or even travel overseas. You can teach what you have already been successful at. In other words you could teach others your career. You may have a strong sense of duty towards religious principles or a spiritual path of some kind. Perhaps you want to be responsible for your own higher education and/or developing your own belief system.
Ruler of the 12th in the 9th
Past life experiences have a bearing on your belief systems in this lifetime. You may have past life connections to your in-laws and you could have issues to work out with them. If this is the case, you will have to forgive them in order to elevate yourself.
You may experience confusion and doubt about orthodox religious belief systems at some point. Self-righteousness can work against you. Allow others to walk their own path. True enlightenment cannot be taught. It must be experienced.
Oops, forgot the last two.
Ruler of the 2nd in the 11th
You may be someone who chooses to put some of your own money into supporting a humanitarian cause, or some other kind of organization representing a cause that you feel strongly about. There’s a part of you that values efforts dedicated to creating changes which have global influence. The money you earn yourself will assist in the manifestation of your fondest hopes and wishes. Open up a “dream come true” account for yourself. Your sense of self worth is supported by the love you receive from others. Do yourself a favor and hang out with those who assist rather than detract from your causes. Wishes can come true when the self worth is strong enough to open the door for them.
Ruler of the 11th in the 11th
Your friends are related to your participation in group causes. Your hopes and wishes are unusual or ahead of the times in some way.
You can create wide-scale social change through participating with groups of people dedicated to a common cause.
Those interpretations are almost completely bunk, at least for me.

You will most likely marry for strong romantic feelings. – I’m probably too screwed up to ever get married, and I’ve read and heard far, far too many horrific things about marriage to really look forward to it. If I *do* get married… yes, okay, it would be for love.

Ruler of the 4th in the 8th

On the other hand it may be that later in life you’ll go through an important and major transformation. – This is one of the most vague, empty sentences I’ve ever read.
This could mean that your deepest beliefs about what constitutes real security will totally change. – I have no idea what will happen in the future. Can’t comment on this.
Ruler of the 9th in the 8th

You can combine traditional religious concepts with metaphysical ideas. – Nope.
You can create major change in your life with higher education and by making overseas connections either through people from other cultures or just traveling for the fun of it. – Not really interested. Hasn’t happened.
Ruler of the 10th in the 9th

Past life experiences have a bearing on your belief systems in this lifetime. You may have past life connections to your in-laws and you could have issues to work out with them. – I don’t know what this means. I don’t believe in this stuff.
If this is the case, you will have to forgive them in order to elevate yourself. – Ok…?

Self-righteousness can work against you. – Fair enough. This is true of anybody.
Allow others to walk their own path. True enlightenment cannot be taught. It must be experienced. – “No one can be… *told*… what the Matrix is.” LOL
Ruler of the 2nd in the 11th
You may be someone who chooses to put some of your own money into supporting a humanitarian cause, or some other kind of organization representing a cause that you feel strongly about. – I reluctantly gave an aunt and uncle the down payment for their new house, as a gift. Does this count?

Your sense of self worth is supported by the love you receive from others. – Don’t know about this. Maybe my therapist will provides some insight.
Do yourself a favor and hang out with those who assist rather than detract from your causes. – Duh?
Wishes can come true when the self worth is strong enough to open the door for them. – This explains much. No self worth, no opportunities?
Ruler of the 11th in the 11th
Your friends are related to your participation in group causes. – Not really. I met most of them at a previous job. That’s not really a “cause”.

You can create wide-scale social change through participating with groups of people dedicated to a common cause. – Duh?
It would be easier to go over each one, in the Forum. House Rulers are just one layer. The chart is many,many layered, so you have to remember that, BB. If you want to talk about them, more, transfer these comments to the forum and start a new thread. It would be interesting to do that!
Ruler of the 6th in the 5th
I would look at this differently. Your service would be in some creative enterprise. I TOLD you you are a natural writer. Already, you serve people through your beautiful writing and form of creative expression. I saw that on LL and really wanted to encourage you because I saw real creative talent. You USE it for service when you do charts even. Next 😀
