Understanding Planetary Rulers, Sun and Moon in Your Zodiac Sign

The Planets in the Horoscopes

Accordingly, the natal horoscope, which is used in astrology to depict a stylized visual map of the universe or heavens at the time of birth in order to interpret the inherent meaning underlying the alignment of the planets at that moment, is specifically focused on the individual at its centre, with the Sun, Moon, and celestial bodies considered to be that individual's personal planets or stars, which are uniquely relevant to that individual alone.

The idea is that the planets' placement at any given moment in time reflects the nature of that moment and especially anything that is born then, and this can be analyzed by making use of the astrology and a variety of rules for interpreting the 'language' or symbols therein.

And according to Pythagoras in his theory known as the Harmony of the Spheres, he proposed that "the Sun, Moon and planets all emit their own unique hum based on their orbital revolution, and that the quality of life on Earth reflects the tenor of celestial sounds which are physically imperceptible to the human ear."

Western astrology is founded on the movements and relative positions of the planets, sun and moon in the zodiac at the time of birth and their movements or transits through the sky in the past, present and future are considered to be the major influences on the zodiac signs.

Understanding the Planets

In astrology, the seven classical planets are those easily seen with the naked eye and these include the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Each of these planets is a ruling planet for a specific zodiac sign.

Planets and their Zodiac Signs

  • Sun is the planetary ruler of Leo. It represent the conscious ego, the self and its expression, personal power, pride and authority, leadership qualities and the principles of creativity, spontaneity, health and vitality.
  • The Moon is the ruling planet of Cancer. It is associated with a person's emotional make-up, unconscious habits, rhythms, memories, moods and their ability to react and adapt to those around them as well as the mother, maternal instincts or the urge to nurture.
  • Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini and Virgo. It represents the principles of communication, mentality, thinking patterns, rationality and reasoning and adaptability and variability.
  • Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and Libra. It is associated with the principles of harmony, beauty, balance, feelings and affections.
    Mars is the ruling planet of Aries. It is associated with confidence and self assertion, aggression, sexuality, energy, strength, ambition and impulsiveness.
  • Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius. It is associated with the principles of growth, expansion, prosperity, and good fortune.
    Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn. It is associated with the principles of limitation, restrictions, boundaries, ambition, career, authority and hierarchy.
  • Uranus (Saturn) is the ruling planet of Aquarius. It is associated with the principles of genius, individuality, new and unconventional ideas, discoveries, electricity and inventions.
  • Neptune (Jupiter) is the ruling planet of Pisces. It is associated with idealism and compassion, but also with illusion, confusion, and deception.
  • Pluto (Mars) is the ruling planet of Scorpio. It is associated with power and personal mastery, and the need to co-operate and share with another

Take note that there are some planets that rule two signs.

In interpreting a birth chart, the "chart ruler" is the planetary ruler of the sign on the Ascendant, or first house. For example, if Aries is the Ascendant, the chart ruler would be Mars. If Taurus is found on the second house, then Venus is said to rule the second house. If Gemini were on the second house, then Mercury rules the second house.

Lunar effect, Pholus synastry and Chiron-Ascendant

Scientists have studied the effect of the full moon and they found that there were less births in the weekends:). The old belief that there are more children born when the moon is full, has been proven wrong. In our days, children are born between 9 and 5 from Monday to Friday, if the doctors had it their way. It is more convenient and it can be done without harming the mother or the child, so why not. But now I will never know if there would be a natural tendency for more births at Full Moon (not all, just some more). Maybe it is not so, not even in the middle of the jungle without electricity or doctors. Who cares about the position of the moon, anyway, these days?  I remember that I was on the road at night. I parked and watched a partial lunar eclipse (a cloud hanging before the moon) and I noticed that nobody noticed. They were eating, drinking, checking tires, walking dogs, going to the toilets...but nobody was staring at the sky or pointing at the moon to tell their childr

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are certain aspects of your life you used to find distressing that you now find merely interesting. The facts are what they are, and you have little emotional attachment to them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don't like to admit when you're wrong and being slow to do so will serve you well. You're not the only one responsible for what has happened. Take a moment to review all sides. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The conventional wisdom suggests that the past cannot be changed, and yet, since it exists in your mind, it changes all of the time. The way you view your history will transform yet again today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're more likely to believe what is entirely, outrageously incredible than buy into the boring truth. This is a good quality now, as a bit of strange fantasy will fuel your motivation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are not in the mood to compromise. You won't sell out your own interests, and you feel the same

Transit Pholus in Sagittarius

Image
Pholus is an asteroid, a small object that pops up in a chart as the catalyst. Transit Pholus often reflects the small and insignificant but irrevocable  trigger point. But what starts as a tiny thing can grow out of proportions, like the sudden rise of an X-factory star.  Susan Boyle,  for example, has Pholus on MC. Her career certainly has a point of no return.  Pholus moves through Sagittarius. What happens when transit Pholus is conjunct the natal sun in Sagittarius?    TRANSIT PHOLUS ON SAGITTARIUS SUN In a few days (just before Xmas 2012) transit Pholus will be conjunct my Sun in 19d53 Sagittarius for the first time and more hits will follow in 2013. I'll pay special attention to those days of transit Pholus. It might be that someone or something will silently and slowly start changing my life. Or that someone's death will. Or... maybe nothing happens. I'll let you know and I am curious about your experiences. Many Sagittarians had transit Pholus on their Sun
