Just like zodiac signs that give us our daily dose of luck in money and love, everyone is also believed to have a “Ruling Planet” that determines one’s general attitude or personality. This can be determined by pinpointing the planet in a person’s birth chart which is most strongly aligned on the date and time you were conceived into this world. Your Ruling Planet is said to have a stronger effect on you than your Zodiac sign, although only a few individuals know about these things, and even fewer take the time to study each planet and its movements, tabulating the results in order to determine the characteristics of a person and what he or she must change.
There are also special individuals who are descendants of the Sun (sun-ruler) or Moon (moon-ruler) – they are usually fortunate in life, and blessed with a good character. I don’t know a lot about them, but there are people who do intensive research on the strength of the planets by sign, aspect and elevation. Other planets with powerful locations must also be taken into consideration, for example when Mars intersects with Capricorn, they conjunct the Mid-Heaven and thus becomes a prime candidate for rulership, especially if the other rulers are weakly placed. Try to go to an astrology expert that you may know so that you can ask help and be informed of your Ruling Planet. Who knows, it could help you win the lottery!
