VP-09: The year lord is the strongest office-bearer aspecting the lagna
The ruler of the year is the strongest of the five candidate planets that looks at the yearly rising sign. The Moon can never be the ruler, and a planet needs a strength of at least 5 out of 20. If no planet is left, the lord of the muntha (the yearly moving point) rules the year. If that is the Moon, the lord of the yearly rising sign rules instead, and if that is the Moon too, the lord of your birth rising sign. The full ranking of the five is shown too.
