What is the ascendancy, first and foremost? Your outward energy is represented by your zodiac sign.” According to Lee, the ascendant is the chart’s most important angle. “The ascendant is related to identity, how you feel in your body, and consciousness because it is based on your birth time. The ascendant is sometimes referred to as your life’s purpose and compass in more contemporary astrology. It’s how you behave and feel around new people, and it could affect how they perceive you. Your entire birth chart is organized by your ascendant.
Simply determine the zodiac sign of your ascendant, then look up the appropriate planet below. That is your dominating planet, my friend.
- Mars/Pluto in Scorpio
- Jupiter for Sagittarius
- Saturn in Capricorn
- Saturn/Uranus for Aquarius
- Jupiter/Neptune in Pisces
From here, understanding your chart rules becomes even more challenging. Some zodiac signs have two ruling planets, as you may have seen. This is due to the fact that you can employ either conventional or modern astrology, according to Lee. She cites traditional astrologers as an example, noting that “most will indicate Mars as the ruler of Scorpio, while modern astrologers will denote Pluto as the ruler of Scorpio. According to conventional wisdom, Saturn would dominate Aquarius and Jupiter would rule Pisces. Since chart rulers were first devised in traditional astrology, Lee advises always looking at the traditional ruler; but, if the current ruler appeals to you, you can also look at it.
You should locate your governing planet in your birth chart now that you are aware of it so that you may better understand the type of energy it possesses. If you were born with an Aries ascendant, for instance, Mars would be your chart’s ruler. He or she might be in Scorpio, in the fifth house of play and creativity (or whichever Mars placement you have). Keep in mind that your ruling planet’s zodiac sign and astrological house reflect the nature of its influence on our lives.
