To begin, what is the ascendant? The vitality you exude on the surface is described by this zodiac sign.” According to Lee, the ascendant is the most important aspect in the chart. “The ascendant is linked to identity, how you feel in your body, and consciousness, and is determined by your birth time. In modern astrology, the ascendant is sometimes referred to as your life’s mission and compass. It’s how you act and feel around strangers, and it could be their first impression of you. Your ascendant reveals your full birth chart framework.
Simply determine your ascendant zodiac sign and the appropriate planet from the list below. That is your ruling planet, my friend:
- Mars/Pluto in Scorpio
- Jupiter is in the sign of Sagittarius.
- Saturn is in Capricorn.
- Saturn/Uranus in Aquarius
- Jupiter/Neptune in Pisces
From here, learning about your chart rules becomes even more difficult. Some zodiac signs have two ruling planets, as you may have seen. This, according to Lee, is due to the fact that there are two types of astrology: modern and traditional. “Most traditional astrologers, for example, will identify Mars as the ruler of Scorpio, while modern astrologers will denote Pluto as the ruler of Scorpio,” she explains. Aquarius would be ruled by Saturn, while Pisces would be ruled by Jupiter, as is customary. Since chart rulers were first designed in traditional astrology, Lee recommends always looking at the traditional ruler, but if the current ruler appeals to you, you can look at it as well.
Now that you know what your governing planet is, look for it in your birth chart to have a better feel of the energy contained in your chart ruler. For example, if you were born with an Aries ascendant, Mars would be your chart ruler, and Mars in Scorpio in the fifth house of fun and creativity may be your chart ruler (or whichever Mars placement you have). Remember that your ruling planet’s zodiac sign and astrological house explain the nature of its influence on our lives.

What does the name of my ruling planet imply?
The zodiac’s bosses are the reigning planets. They call the shots and have a big say in how each sign runs its business, as well as how everyone else acts when they’re around.
