    Ptolemy assigns the houses of the planets outward from the two luminaries: the Sun takes Leo and the Moon takes Cancer, and the five remaining planets take two signs each, one on either side, in order of distance. Saturn also rules Capricorn, which is what it means for seven planets to cover twelve signs. Some modern schemes give this sign to Uranus, a planet discovered long after Ptolemy. That later rulership is shown alongside the classical one, not as a correction to it.

    Evidence

    1. Claudius Ptolemy, Tetrabiblos, second century CE — Book I, chapter 17: Of the Houses of the Several Planets

      · Loeb Classical Library edition

      The chapter that sets out the whole scheme. Ptolemy argues it from the relation of each planet's orbit to the solstitial signs rather than presenting it as received tradition.

    2. William Lilly, Christian Astrology, 1647 — Book I, chapters XI–XVII

      Lilly, writing in 1647, still works with exactly seven planets and Ptolemy's houses. He is cited here to establish where the older system ends, not for a modern meaning.

    The complete seven-metal series is explicit in Albertus Magnus. The Agrippa citation is included only where the checked chapter explicitly names the same material; this edge does not claim exclusivity across all authors.
