The Sun in Leo is in domicile, the planet's own home, and the tradition lists no other planet's rulership here. Leo is a masculine, fixed fire sign; the Sun is a masculine, day-team planet, so sect, gender and sign agree.
Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, a fixed fire sign with positive polarity, and the only sign the Sun governs in traditional astrology.

The Moon in Leo is in the Sun's home sign, a masculine, fixed fire sign. The tradition lists no domicile, exaltation, detriment or fall for the Moon there.
Leo is a fixed fire sign with positive polarity, the sign the Sun governs, and a Moon there sits in the Sun's home. Modern psychological astrology reads the emotional need here as warmth returned: to be noticed, appreciated and welcomed.

Virgo is the Ascendant when Virgo is crossing the eastern horizon at birth, which changes about every two hours and so depends on birth time. In whole-sign houses, where each sign is one house, Virgo is the first house. Mercury, the planet that rules it, is lord of the Ascendant. Mercury rules Gemini too, which falls in the tenth house, the one at the top of the chart. Mercury is also exalted in Virgo, so the lord both rules and is honored in the first sign. Virgo is a feminine, mutable earth sign, a bicorporeal or double-bodied sign in the tradition's terms. Venus is in fall in Virgo, a note about the wider chart. Hellenistic astrologers look to where Mercury stands, since it moves near the Sun.

Reviewer's notes
Dignities, houses counts, genders and modalities matched the project's own dignity tables and Ptolemy/Valens. Venus in fall and Mercury exalted in Virgo confirmed in Ptolemy I.19 and Firmicus II.3. Lord-of-the-Ascendant importance confirmed only in secondary sources (Astrology Podcast); softened 'first/main' to 'among the first/key'.

With Virgo rising, Virgo was on the eastern horizon at birth. The Ascendant changes about every two hours, so a birth time is required to know it. Modern psychological astrology reads the Ascendant as how a person approaches new situations. For Virgo, a mutable earth sign, authors describe an observant, tidy and modest entrance, with attention going first to what needs fixing or clarifying. The first impression is associated with reserve and competence. The tension named is self-scrutiny, with a habit of finding the flaw before the strength. Hellenistic astrologers treat Mercury as lord of this Ascendant. They read the chart through its rank by sign, sect (day or night chart) and aspects, a technical judgment more than a description of manner.

Reviewer's notes
Element, modality, ruler and Ascendant-concept claims confirmed in secondary references; the per-sign manner descriptions attributed to modern authors are tradition-level and not checked against Arroyo or Sasportas text. Softened "does not describe manner" to "more than a description of manner".
