D.I.Y. Astro: The Chart Ruler

Everyone has a Lord or a Lady of their chart. It is the ruler of your Ascendent. As this is fairly ancient ye olde worlde astro, a lot of peeps think you should consider the ‘old’ rulers to be in effect. eg; If you have Pisces Rising, you would say  you are ‘ruled’ by Jupiter, not Neptune. But I don’t bother with this because I have Aquarius Rising and I’d rather be Uranian than Saturnine.

So, the idea is not that you owe allegiance to some feudal overlord or capricious dame such as the Moon BUT that  you keep a v.close eye on the Lord/Lady as it is v.likely to be super-significant.  You might also like to think in terms of developing/enhancing some of the qualities associated with that planet. eg; Say you have Aries Rising – Mars is your Lord…You would do well to be actively competitive & move hard on winning in the areas of the chart where Mars is transitting.

The chart ruler is v.important in Horary astrology, where you ask a question and run a chart for the moment of the question.

Mars Void…Then Into Gemini

That sense of ease & that maybe it’s okay to kick back a tad is not just apres Eclipse. Nooo. It’s also to do with Mars being Void. That is, Mars is in the last degrees of Taurus and makes no major aspects before moving into Gemini on Sat Night (USA) Sunday Morning (UK) and early arvo (Australia.)

Mars rules assertion, anger, aggression, ambition, libido & courage. It’s what we need when we start new things, defend the weak and get a grip. Mars is narking off at a surly shop assistant a bit more intensely than intended as well as the discipline required to work  out effectively and see results. It’s sex drive and lust for life itself.

Arieans – who are Mars-ruled – should especialy hold back on any major action initiatives until Mars switches signs…Ditto Taurus & Gemini. It would not be bad, as such, just not ideal. Triple check yourself if you think you might be going O.T.T. with the force of your personality or demands.

But isn’t it lovely having that Fixed Square pressure (Mars in Taurus square Jupiter, Neptune & Chiron a.k.a. the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding) lifting a bit. Mars in Gemini is always fun – a lot of scattered Qi, games & dual motives. Don’t take it personally. Everyone’s gonna want multiple options & a light, glib touch.
