You probably already know that you are a Sagittarius if you were born on December 18, today. Perhaps you are even aware that you are a fire sign. But did you know that Jupiter, the planet of luck and adventure, rules your sign? And did you know that during the Sagittarius season, other signs may also feel more lucky and daring?
The bosses of the zodiac are the ruling planets. They are in charge and have an impact on how each sign does its business as well as how everyone else acts when they are in charge. For instance, even though I’m not a Sagittarius, Jupiter has recently made me feel more joyous and vivacious. And due to Saturn, we can all anticipate feeling a little bit more responsible and on top of our work game when Capricorn season (my sign!) arrives in a few days.
Here is a breakdown of the planets that rule each sign, starting with Sag for the current season, and what each birthday season signifies for the other signs of the zodiac.

What in astrology is a ruling planet?
But precisely what are astrology’s ruling planets, and how can you find out which one you have and what it means? According to astrologer and psychic medium Rachel Lang, “every sign has a ruling planet, and this planet is the most important planetary influence of a sign.” “This planet affects how the sign expresses itself and sheds light on the personality traits that are innate to the sign. You would look at the archetypal representations of the deity or goddess the planet is linked with, as well as the characteristics of the planet, to make those connections.”

Use an astrology chart generator to locate your ascendant or rising sign, which is what transformational astrologer Corina Crysler refers to as “the soul line that crafts the screenplay of your life,” to determine your governing planet. In essence, it’s how you present yourself to others. The planet that rules over your rising sign is the one that each sign is tied to.
What does the astrological governing house mean?
The birth chart is similar to a photograph of the sky taken at the precise moment of your birth from our vantage point on Earth. The 12 segments that make up this chart are referred to as the houses. The “movie of your life” takes place in the residences, where the action is.
Depending on your time, date, and place of birth, a different sign rules each house in your horoscope. The zodiac sign that the cusp, or beginning point of a house, intersects with on the wheel determines this rulership (that’s a bit complicated, so don’t worry about this one too much!). Just keep in mind that each house is linked to a particular aspect of life, such as profession, home, and relationships, and that this is essentially what grounds astrology in earthly issues.
How can I tell which planet dominates my horoscope?
Are you looking for the place in your birth chart that seems to be in charge? You might be intrigued to learn that the secret to your genuine astrological signature lies in your ascendant sign! Every sign of the zodiac is ruled by a separate planet, known as the planetary ruler. (For instance, Mercury rules both Virgo and Gemini, the Sun dominates Leo, the Moon rules Cancer.) Understanding which planet is influenced by your rising sign might reveal which placement in your chart will have the greatest impact on you throughout your life. Each of these planets leads the signs to behave differently inside your chart. This is due to the fact that your rising sign is situated in the first house of personality and self-identity.
It’s simple to locate your chart ruler. The planet that dominates the ascending sign is your chart’s ruler. Looking at your ascendant’s zodiac sign and the 12 astrological houses it occupies should be your first step once you have determined your rising sign. This will point out which planet in your natal chart governs your astrological chart.

Before Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were discovered, astrologers identified Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars as the respective principal rulers of each sign. Many astrologers advise utilizing the conventional ruler when examining your birth chart, even though Western astrologers have mostly replaced the old rulerships with the new planetary findings. This is due to the fact that your personal planets, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter, are more individualized and vary more from person to person.

Do all people own all 12 houses?
The procedure of deciphering your birth chart is difficult. You must comprehend your sun, moon, and rising signs in addition to the twelve houses, or divisions, into which your chart is divided. Each planet transits through a different astrological house, which controls over a few distinct areas of your life. The houses were undoubtedly the most difficult for me to understand when I first started learning astrology, and one of my biggest challenges was figuring out what empty houses in astrology meant.
Everybody will have at least one empty house because there are only 10 planets and 12 dwellings, however this is unimportant. It simply indicates that the area of your life represented by the empty house in question in your birth chart may not be as important to you as the areas represented by the houses with planets. There is a quick and simple technique to discover the significance of this house in your chart (and, of course, your life), albeit it may necessitate further investigation.
Many of the planets may be in the same house in any birth chart when you look at it. This is so that Mercury and Venus are never farther than one sign and two signs, respectively, from the sun. As a result, these two planets frequently find themselves in the same house as the sun, leaving more houses vacant. You can just glance to the ruler of an empty house in a birth chart to completely comprehend how that house’s implications play out in your life.
In astrology, does everyone have 12 houses?
The Houses are made up of the 12 equal portions that make up the birth chart. Since 12 is a perfect number, it frequently appears in astrology. Not to be confused with the zodiac wheel, which is based on the sun’s yearly rotational movement, the Houses are not the same. Instead, the Houses depict how the globe revolves around its axis in a 24-hour cycle. In light of this, astrologers combine these two theories when interpreting a birth chart. Use the accurate time of your birth while computing your chart because the Houses rotate once every 24 hours. Two hours of the sun’s apparent daily movement are represented by each dwelling. Make sure your crush’s birth time is accurate when you acquire it.
What do the astrology’s 12 houses stand for?
The houses in astrology are like the cosmic equivalent of a crystal ball, but far more reliable. Each of the 12 houses, from health to finances to relationships and everything in between, represents an important aspect of life. Think of the wheel of houses as a map in the sky, with planets circling one house after another all the time. Each planet was in a certain house when you were born, and those houses may be seen in your birth chart. You might need to text your parents to ask this question because the houses are selected by the time of your birth, not merely the day.
Jupiter, the planet of luck, was in your second house, which governs economics, at the time of your birth, which suggests that earning money will probably come naturally to you. The positions of the planets at various points throughout your life can also provide you with insightful information. Please spread the love.
