Mem, Ayin and Nun

Mars is the planet that rules Scorpio. It also rules Aries and us exalted in Capricorn. These are the three primary expressions of Mars in the zodiac.
PS These are the basics, the things one learns (for example) on page 1 of the first GD knowledge lecture of the entry level grade. I encourage you to commit turn to memiry.

Here is the lecture;

No I can't see that here Jim. Anyway I understand this is basic astrology ie
www.astro.com/mtp/mtp64_e.htm ; Planets in Exaltation, Detriment and Fall
\i know nothing of astrology in terms of astronomical facts. Are you saying that the planets rule certain zodiacal segments because of their (the planets) course through those zodiacal segments in the night sky as it were? Does this have anything to do with real science?
Also are Nun, Ayin, Tzaddi and Peh martial? Peh is attributed to the planet Mars and Nun scorpio is ruled by Mars and Tzaddi is ruled by Aries which is ruled by mars but Ayin is not ruled by Mars. I've heard that Ayin is martial because Mars is exalted in Capricorn. Is that correct? If that's the case then Lamed (Libra) is Saturnalian (even though it's ruled by Venus) as Saturn is exalted in Libra. Likewise Cheth is Jupiterean even though Cancer is of the Moon. Also , Taurus (Vav) is ruled by Venus but has the Moon exalted ...so on. Various paths have two or three planetary influences.

Planets rule certain signs because the nature of the planet and the nature of the sign are similar (or nearly identical).
"Also are Nun, Ayin, Tzaddi and Peh martial?"
Yes, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aries, and Mars are martial.
"If that's the case then Lamed (Libra) is Saturnalian (even though it's ruled by Venus) as Saturn is exalted in Libra."
Yes, the rulerships and exaltations are simply two different schemes that each identify planets whose natures are substantially the same as the signs. Libra is very much Venus + Saturn.

Being questioning is good, but sometimes the best way to learn is with time and persistent study. Direct answers to non-practical things can detract the value of certain personal, spontaneous discoveries. The best thing is to accept the attributions as given and roll with them. With time (not even that much time) it'll all make (at least some) sense.

Think you not that Chronos eating his babies is not severity? Think you not that Solomon recommending the cutting in half the baby weren't just?

Justice is a severe (Saturnine) form of love (Venus). The "goad" of Lamed keeps the Ox between the ditches.

Sometimes the shock of revelation is required.
