It has been a while since we talked about the Natal Chart so it is high time to change it. Last time we discussed the Big Three. Now it is time to discover what a Chart Ruler is and how to find out your own. Let's break it all down together.
What’s a Chart Ruler?
It's the planet that rules your ascendant (called also rising sign), which in turn sets the tone for your entire birth chart. Basically, it’s the planet that has the most significant influence over your life path and personality. Think of your chart ruler as your astrological guide.
How to find your Chart Ruler?
To know your chart ruler you need to know your ascendant. To discover your ascendant it is important to know your exact birth time as it changes approximately every 2 hours. Once you know your ascendant you can look at the next paragraph to check which planet rules your rising sign.
The chart ruler transits or retrogrades will have an impact on you too so once you know your planet, you can look at that planet's movements and what they activates for you.
