What is the best way for me to locate my leading planet?
Astrology is such a vast source of knowledge and self-discovery that you could study it for a lifetime and yet feel like you’re missing out on so much. Calculating your birth chart, on the other hand, is a great place to start. Even if you already know what your sun sign is, that only scratches the surface of who you are. Everything else will start to make sense once you’ve figured out where to get your chart ruler.
If you’re interested in astrology, you’ve certainly heard others talk about their governing planet and wondered, “What planet dominates my chart?” This is because each zodiac sign has a planet that has the most influence on them. This planet can even be considered the source of its power, and each sign has characteristics that are similar to those of its ruling planet.
The chart ruler, according to Lee, can also reveal reoccurring patterns throughout your life. “Another way to think about it is that you are the physical manifestation of the planet that rules your horoscope,” she says. For example, AriesScorpio risings are the personification of Mars, which means they are likely to stir up controversy, be competitive, determined, and steadfast in their authenticity, and may even have life goals that are Mars-related, such as medicine, gymfitness, psychology, and even activism.
Most people believe that their governing planet governs their sun sign, however this is a common misunderstanding. Your ruling planet has nothing to do with the zodiac sign you were born under. Instead, it governs the zodiac sign in which your ascendant is born.
Are you perplexed? Don’t be concerned. Before you can learn how to identify your ruling planet, you must first enter your birth date, time, and location into a natal chart calculator, which will reveal your ascendant. Let’s discuss about planets that rule.
In your horoscope, what is a stellium?
When you map your natal chart, you can see the positions of all the planets in the sky at the time of your birth, not simply where the sun rises and sets.
“A stellium occurs when three or more planets are concentrated in a single zodiac sign or house in someone’s chart,” the twins explain. “Babies born in the summer of 2020 will have a stellium in Capricorn, because Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are all in Capricorn,” they explain. Having Mars, Mercury, and Saturn all in the fifth house is another example (which relates to romance, love, and creativity).
In some cases, people’s charts may have more than one stellium (i.e., three planets in Sag and three in the eighth house).
What are the three major signs of the zodiac?
Your rising, sun, and moon sign positions are the three pillars of your personality, or “big three.” You can find out yours by using a free birth chart calculator or consulting an Astrologer. Here’s a quick rundown of your cosmic self.
Do soulmates have birth charts that are similar?
What you may not realize is that when two soulmates’ birth charts are compared, they nearly always have certain features in common that reveal the nature of their relationship to a trained astrologer.
What is the best way for me to figure out my astrological houses?
The zodiac constellation rising on the eastern horizon at the precise moment you were born determines your first house, which is why both the time and location of your birth are required to determine it. From there, the rest of your houses will be counted in order.
