#chartruler

i was thinking a lot about which aspects i should talk about first, then i remembered the moon squaring the rising sign. i’ve met a lot of people with this aspect in real life and they all have this look on their face, like their appearance shows something they’re hiding inside, and if you pay attention it’s always a surprise. for example, take someone with an aquarius rising and a scorpio moon, you would never guess what’s going on underneath all that detachment you see on the surface. if that person ever speaks up about how they feel inside and actually talks about their emotions, everyone would be shocked.

every time i want to figure out someone’s rising sign and i don’t know their exact birth time, i look at the whole chart and focus on what makes sense as the chart ruler. people don’t really talk enough about chart rulers even though they can tell you a lot about someone. i use it since to me it shows physical appearance more clearly than the rising sign alone. the rising sign gives the general energy, but the ascendant ruler points to more specific physical traits that help narrow things down. for example i met someone who gave off a leo vibe, but there was also something a bit intense, almost scorpio-like. when i looked at his chart, i noticed he had mercury in leo, and that made me think mercury was important, so he had to be either a gemini or virgo rising. based on his overall energy, virgo fit more. he was tall, had strong hair and presence, matching the leo influence through mercury. he also had his rising square pluto, which explained the intensity. it wasn’t obvious or in your face like a scorpio rising, but you could still sense it in a more subtle way. this is honestly the part i enjoy doing the most. i love astrology on god loll

what’s worse than meeting someone with a water moon that has hard aspects to jupiter or saturn honestly nothing. dealing with that level of sensitivity can be exhausting, the crying, the constant emotional overload, the victim mindset, it gets to a point where it feels suffocating. i’m not talking about a healthy moon or balanced water moon aspects at all, i mean the really tough ones. it’s hard to even explain how draining it can be, and if you want proof don’t ask me, ask anyone who’s actually had to deal with it. and the problem they be saying no i'm not sensitive while crying like wtf

I don’t know, people don’t understand how Lilith really has a huge impact in a man’s chart. Like, Lilith is just… actually, even in a woman’s chart, it has a lot of effect. If you’re looking at it in a woman’s chart, it represents the part of her that she doesn’t show to people, to the public. Not a lot of people know this about her. It’s something she’s ashamed of. Maybe some people know about it, but it’s like… her dark side. not like “I’m dangerous,” no, no. It’s more like something she’s ashamed of, something that if anyone knew, it would destabilize the image she presents to the world. In a man’s chart, it’s kind of the same, but it shows the type of woman he’s ashamed to admit he likes or wants. There’s something about it that makes him feel like if he says it out loud, people would judge him or think it doesn’t fit who he is. And this is really interesting, the topic of Lilith. I’m actually thinking about opening a paid reading just about Lilith in a man and woman’s chart.

there’s something about cancer people, especially when it’s tied to saturn or the 10th house. they love (especially women) they love to mother people, not just because they love them, but it’s also kind of a control thing. it’s like, “i want to care for you so i can control you.” they wouldn’t really think about it consciously, it just comes together naturally. if i care for you, then you should listen to me, because i know what’s better for you than you do. it’s a mothering-authority type of dynamic. people with this placement often mix care and control in one, and there’s a thin line between genuinely caring and trapping someone in an emotional space.for example, imagine them as parents(their worst state if not mature enough)but even just in general, they can be scared for the people they love. they might not let someone go out for days just because they’re worried. it’s like, “do what i want,” not even really about the other person, it’s about controlling the situation for their emotional safety . even with older people or their own parents, they can feel like something bad might happen, so they need to control it before it slips away. it’s this kind of thing. and let’s not even start on the fear of abandonment. we won’t get into that.

(synastry) you would never, if you were a girl, want to meet another girl and make her your friend when her moon falls in your 10th house. never. never. you will never really enjoy that friendship. i’m saying this again and again just to make it clear that it’s going to be the worst. this is the kind of person who will copy you from head to toe, your tone, the way you speak, the way you feel, the way you enjoy yourself, the way you show up in public. they will copy the shit out of you. the way you talk, your hair, if you do something, they will do it too. it gets dangerous because at some point it becomes unconscious. it goes into the subconscious and they start doing it like crazy. it’s honestly insane.and i can tell you, you would feel like you’re being harassed in your own energy, in your own space, in your own authority, especially if you have a 10th house stellium. you would never enjoy it. never. it feels like your public image is being taken from you. she takes everything you show to other people and makes it her own.

(synastry) if a man has his moon in your fourth house, you are similar to his mom. you remind him of her, a lot. he feels safe with you because you have certain traits that remind him of her.

The chart ruler of a natal chart, is the planet that is ruled by the ascendant. Since the ascendant is also associated with the soul’s purpose, the chart ruler is a very important planet, since it takes action for the ascendant and therefore rules the chart. So, where your chart ruler falls is quite important, and the same for aspects to it.

The chart ruler(s) for every ascendant:

Aries asc —> mars

Taurus asc —> venus

Gemini asc —> mercury

Cancer asc —> moon

Leo asc —> sun

Virgo asc —> mercury

Libra asc —> venus

Scorpio asc —> pluto (traditionally mars)

Sagittarius asc —> jupiter

Capricorn asc —> saturn

Aquarius asc —> uranus (traditionally saturn)

Pisces asc —> neptune (traditionally jupiter)

(for me personally, i tend to relate to traditional planets more, so definitely check that out too if your rising sign also happens to have a traditional ruler)

Chart ruler in….:

(for aspects with your chart ruler, look for conjunction first, since those have the most influence)

1st house/aries/aspect with mars: Your faith is in your own hands, and you are the person that can makes changes to your own life, you’re the leader. You’re quick and active in the way you approach life. You’re aware of yourself, but maybe a little too much sometimes. Try to not always be the fastest, taking things slow is okay too.

2nd house/taurus/aspect with venus: You value stability, comfort and security in life. You’re focused on your purpose and want to get there the ‘right way’, but remember that all ways are the right one, since it’s your life, mistakes happen. You might not always be motivated, but don’t let that influence your self image.

3rd house/gemini/aspect with mercury: Curiosity, knowledge and restlessness describe your soul’s purpose pretty good. You approach life quite active, but also very observing. Don’t forget to stay true to yourself in conversations, since your views on life can be quite versatile and easily influenced by others.

4th house/cancer/aspect with moon: This is a great indicator for a true homebody, even when your chart ruler is an active planet like mars. You like to build a safe place for yourself everywhere you go. You might also value animal lives a lot, or just other living things in general. With your chart ruler here, you are a very giving person, but don’t forgot yourself!

5th house/leo/aspect with sun: Your energy mainly goes to your hobbies, since this placement makes you very creative. You like expressing yourself and it motivates you to achieve your goals. You might also like to be pointed out or get complimented, but make sure you don’t rely on it, you are also good enough without that reassurance.

6th house/virgo/aspect with mercury: Your job and life goals can be on your mind quite a lot. Physical activities stimulate you, just like food/diets, since you can be quite body-aware and it helps you build confidence. You are a very helpful person and will do everything to help others, but please don’t forget yourself, you matter too.

7th house/libra/aspect with venus: Any kind of relationship and bonding with other people is very important for you. You can have a hard time figuring out what your goals and purpose are and might rely on others to figure it out. Build some confidence in the unknown to be more independent.

8th house/scorpio/aspect with pluto(/mars): You tend to always read the room, you can be private and sometimes even mysterious. The psychology of life really appeals to you, since you can feel very misunderstood yourself. You are self-aware, which you use to change and sometimes even transform yourself. You are likely to be drawn to the unknown.

9th house/sagittarius/aspects with jupiter: You like to have freedom and to teach and learn. You’re outgoing and a dreamer who is willing to travel and make new experiences, good and bad, to get to your goal. Since you’re an idealist, don’t overestimate your goals, because that might leave some self-consciousness in your abilities.

10th house/capricorn/aspects with saturn: You have strong desires and goals in life and feel like your reputation and the things you’ve accomplished are important. You like recognition for your work and tend to come over as professional. This all makes you a strong person, but don’t forget that it’s good to be soft too at certain points of life.

11th house/aquarius/aspects with uranus/saturn: You like to have people around you with the same vibes and these bonds are important for you. Equality and freedom is also something you want to achieve throughout your life. You’re quite social and outgoing, but in the end, you prefer deep bonds.
