TRADITIONAL AND MODERN RULERSHIP
Traditional rulership should always be considered even when using modern astrology rulership. To understand 'By Day' or 'By Night' in traditional rulership, as in light and darkness, it is used in Traditional Astrology to mean more extrovert or introvert influence of a planet on a sign. So Gemini is ruled by Mercury By Day - extrovert qualities of Mercury are in action and Virgo is ruled by Mercury By Night, so the more introverted qualities of Mercury prevail. Which is why we think of the sign of Gemini as a flighty, mischievous, game-player and Virgo as a more critical, nervous and practical sign.
