Planets and Signs
Astrological rulers connect signs with a family of symbolic themes.
Traditional and modern rulers
Traditional astrology uses the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Many modern approaches add Uranus for Aquarius, Neptune for Pisces and Pluto for Scorpio. The sign profiles identify both associations where relevant.
Reading the link
Mercury is commonly associated with communication, Venus with attraction and values, and Saturn with boundaries and structure. A ruler supplies another lens for reading a sign’s symbolism.
Keep the chart together
A person’s chart contains every sign around its wheel. An emphasis on one placement can be interesting, but other placements can add a different tone to the interpretation.
