Not only the signs owned by the planet, but the Planets posited in these signs also become powerful. Dispositor is the planet who is the lord of the sign. For instance, if Mars is in Cancer, Cancer is owned by the Moon and hence Moon becomes the dispositor of Mars. Exaltation DispositorThe planet who gets exalted in a sign is called the Exaltation dispositor. For instance, Jupiter get exalted in Cancer.
