Which amount to around 4 hours of a lecture by Robert Schmidt. The second one goes through the process of identifying the three key planets and explains the nautical metaphor - that is our life seen as a ship sailing on a sea of fate.
The three key fates he notes are:
Destiny - where your life is headed (and Astrology will give some indication of whether you will get there.
Providence - how well fates work for you
Necessity - the need to deal with limitations and constrictions in life. That is accomodate to what is around you.
There are three key roles -
Setting the destination of life
Overseeing the destination
Navigating the life to it's destiny
The first role is played by the Domicile Lord of the Sect Light (unless the sect light is badly placed). In Barkey's chart the Sect light is the Moon, in Leo in the tenth Place. That makes the Sun, the planet that manages 'setting the destination' The Sun is in the fifth Place, so Destiny is likely to be related to Children and a 'happy' home.
The second role of oveseeing the destination falls to the Bound Lord of the Sect Light - in Barkey's case that is Mars, who also is the Ascendant ruler.
The role of Navigation, or the 'ship's captain' (kurios in Greek, which translates as Lord) is harder to determine. We examine a number of places in order and the planet is either situated there or rules to place is considered. In effect the planet which has the best fitness level is taken. The order effectively acts as a tie breaker as there may be more than one planet that is worthy of consideration.
The Places are:
1. A planet in the Bounds of the Ascendant
If there is no planet in the Bounds of the Ascendant then the order becomes:
2. Domicile Lord of the Ascendant
3. Domicile Lord of the Moon
4. Domicile Lord of the MC
5. Domicile Lord of the Lot of Fortune
6. Bound Lord of the Pre-natal Lunation
7, A planet making a phasis - Helical Rising of Helical Setting in that order.
That is the list from Delphic Oracle and I'd have to listen to Schmidt again to confirm it but from memory and scribbled notes they appear to be substantially what Schmidt says in his lecture.
In my next post I'll run through the planets that fill those roles and examine their level of fitness

In his lecture Schmidt transposes 6 and 7. Not sure whether that was an error or by then it doesnn't matter much LOL
