Ruler Planets

Ruler planets in astrology are the specific planets that govern or symbolize each zodiac sign’s fundamental qualities. For example, Mars rules Aries, emphasizing energy and assertiveness, while Venus rules Taurus and Libra, highlighting love and harmony. These planets influence the characteristics and behaviors associated with their signs and help astrologers interpret individual personality traits and life patterns. Essentially, a ruler planet acts as the planetary representative of a sign’s core energies, providing insights into a person’s tendencies and experiences based on where these planets are positioned in a natal chart.
