The Right Angle Cross of Rulership (Version 4)

Full breakdown

The fourth variation puts the Sun in a gate of marketing and self-promotion — rulership expressed through image, presentation, the ability to sell an idea of oneself to a wider audience. George Bush is sometimes used as an example here: a public figure whose authority relied heavily on marketing and self-presentation as much as on any single policy or teaching.

This is rulership's most modern face — style as a form of leadership. It works, but it still needs gate 22's grace and gate 45's genuine responsibility to teach underneath it, or the marketing becomes all there is.
